Well my friends, it’s been a while but I’m back. . . and better than ever!!! Okay, not really, but I am doing well 🙂 I have to admit, when I found out our dear T-Sweezy was releasing another album I groaned inwardly (if that’s even possible). “Oh great,” I thought to myself – “Another album filled with rants and raves about how she dated some guy who *GASP* broke her heart.” Do I love me some T-Swift? You bet I do! Do I love break up songs? Ummmm . . . no! Why would I want to spend my free time listening to a SAD song?
I had predetermined that I was out of the Taylor Swift stage. I really felt compelled to not listen to her music after hearing the shameful Better Than Revenge (spare yourself the time and effort in listening to it- it’s a non Christlike response to a girl who “stole” her boyfriend). I was not feeling 22 and was ready to embrace my 23 year old maturity by moving onto wiser, more mature sounding music (I’m not sure what that would have entailed). When anyone even mentioned the new c.d. I just considered my previous experiences with Swift music and how the break up genre was getting old fast. I thought to myself, “We are never ever getting back together (like. ever.).” Then I heard that her song was titled after my thoughts (okay, maybe she thought of it first) and I knew I was through. I did not want to like the song. I would not want to like the song. I listened to the song. I found myself singing the song. And my plan went downhill from there.
