"Young Folks" - Peter Bjorn & John feat. Victoria Bergsman
Album: Writer's Block
Release: June 2006
Why I find this information interesting is something I'm sure you know. What a whirlwind of a year that was, huh? But it was definitely filled with good times.
I heard this song while casually eavesdropping on a conversation that I had no business being a part of. Hey, it was an open space in a public place with people who fail at an attempt to create "indoor voices" so in other words, fair game.
The whistling was too catchy! According to Wikipedia, this was originally just a tune that would eventually be replaced by an actual instrument but they decided to leave it. Glad they did. Sometimes going with your first, initial instinct is by far the best way to go.
So, where have I been these last two days? Dealing with a virus in my computer and whatever the hell kinda icky-sicky feeling that's fortunately going away. Oh, and of course dating. Gotta love losing all sense of time while getting to know someone. The infamous survey questions: What's your likes/dislikes? Favorite places, foods, hobbies? Got any/want any pets, kids (not necessarily in that order)? Ideal first date? Stats? Personality traits? Family upbringing? Beliefs? Background? Job/school/goals????? Why do I feel like deja vu? Like I've answered all of these generic questions before? Oh ya, because I did. I just told it to someone else.
It's weird being back here again, but it's an eye-opener to say the least. It's making me realize what I'm genuinely attracted to and this is actually what's surprising me the most. I'm clicking on profiles and reading stories about the "outdoorsy" types. The adventurous dog lovers who jump off planes! The rock climbers, scuba divers, mountain bikers, and extreme hikers who absolutely love being surrounded by sun/nature to simply just "live life to the fullest." The "Why do I feel like I'm being sucked into one of those life insurance commercials?" kinda guys that are basically the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of me. I had one ask me what my exercise regimen is. Really?! I barely do stairs! And another wrote in one sentence: "Do you snow/surf/boogie board?" I don't even use an ironing board! This is having me rethink my priorities with my health, but damn! Dating itself is proving to be a workout and I haven't even gone on an official one yet!
My cousin did make a valid point though when she said something like, "It's not like guys are going to tell you that they're consumed with (insert whatever sport here), eating junk food, and combining the two while sitting on the couch doing nothing!" Very true indeed! But c'mon, all of these action shots are overkill. I'm looking at taking things as slow as possible. Talk, drink, maybe eat... I didn't know it now has to involve a protein shake, running shoes, and sunblock! In which case my answer is a polite, "No thank you." I'm not going to risk embarrassing myself for the sheer pleasure of being what I think they'll want me to be. Yes, there's going to be a period of give and take. But seriously for right now, I just want a simple meet and greet on a one-on-one level to see if my first, initial instinct will take it from there.
Lyrics:
If I told you things I did before, told you how I used to be
Would you go along with someone like me
If you knew my story word for word, had all of my history
Would you go along with someone like me
I did before and had my share, it didn't lead nowhere
I would go along with someone like you
It doesn't matter what you did, who you were hanging with
We could stick around and see this night through
And we don't care about the young folks
Talking 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talking 'bout the old style too
And we don't care about our own faults
Talking 'bout our own style
All we care about is talking
Talking only me and you
Usually when things has gone this far, people tend to disappear
No one will surprise me unless you do
I can tell there's something goin' on, hours seems to disappear
Everyone is leaving, I'm still with you
It doesn't matter what we do, where we are going to
We can stick around and see this night through
And we don't care about the young folks
Talking 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talking 'bout the old style too
And we don't care about our own faults
Talking 'bout our own style
All we care about is talking
Talking only me and you
And we don't care about the young folks
Talking 'bout the young style
And we don't care about the old folks
Talking 'bout the old style too
And we don't care about their own faults
Talking 'bout our own style
All we care about is talking
Talking only me and you
Talking only me and you
Talking only me and you
Talking only me and you
