Lyric of the Moment 10

"Everybody's lookin' for love, oh-oh /

You ain't gon' find it dancin' with him, no-oh /
I got a better solution for you, girl, oh-oh"

     ~ Jason Derulo, In My Head

Otherwise known as: Jason Derulo misuses wisdom to get in your pants.

The better solution is not to go home with him to "get down to business, and skip foreplay."

     ~ New Fundamentalists: Beyond Tolerance by Fr. Daniel Brandenburg

New Dad Confession 3

Every formerly "normal" dude behavior like speeding, mild weaving through traffic, jaywalking, walking through construction zones (you know, the usual), etc., now comes with a conscience dialog objection of, "Do you know why I stopped you?  You realize you have a baby with you right?"
