Day 4: A Song that makes me sad

It was a tough choice, but this song feels like sadness and yearning, and that's before you learn the lyrics. This video is beautifully done, sad but bittersweet, it's worth a watch as well as a listen.

The Lengths by The Black Keys.

Truths for (add air quotes please) Mature Adults

I stole this from shanachie_quill  who ganked from alikat7 cause this shite needs to be shared!

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die (Chelsea - this falls to you, babe).

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. 

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font (just slant italics the other way, surely that can't be too hard for those font makers out there... someone? anyone?). 

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? (Nuff said)

6. Was learning cursive really necessary? (I don't mind

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. 

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. 

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. 

10. Bad decisions make good stories. 

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day (I call it "the wall" just like what the marathon runner's hit). 

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. (Hell, I'm not bothering with BluRay)

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of "Word" and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to. 

14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. 

15. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with "Miller Lite" than "Kay". 

16. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. 

17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. 

18. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said? 

19. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters! 

20. Shirts get dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

21. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. 

22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time! (I've started putting my alarm on the other side of the room.)

24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. (Is anyone surprised by this?)
