"Stamp a Nick on her forehead and call it done!"

I was listening to some Owl City on the way to work today, and i got to thinking. As happens from time to time.

I was listening to Fireflies (the one that's super popular right now. you know the one i'm talking about. If you don't, here it is) which i honestly really like. I'm totally on the Owl City bandwagon. Fireflies is a great song, but my favorite song by them is On The Wing. But ANYWAY I was listening to Fireflies, and i decided one of the lines kinda made me uncomfortable.

Throughout the song he is talking about how beautiful and awesome the thousands of fireflies are, and then about 2/3 of the way through, he's like, well, the fireflies left, and it made me sad. The next line is, "But I'll know where several are/if my dreams get real bizarre/'cuz i saved a few and i keep them in a jar"




First of all, the concept of 10,000,000 of any insect is pretty frightening. To me. I DO NOT LIKE swarmy things.







So there are these 10 MILLION fireflies right? Scary. Bear with me (lol). OK, let's pretend it's nighttime. Beautiful, lots of lights, that's great. daytime? those aren't lights, that is a LOT of freaking BUGS!! RUN AWAY!

Now that we are past what i would consider to be a plague of insects, i'd like to draw your attention to the next line.

He GRABS a couple of them and holds them captive in a tiny prison-like jar!

I haven't decided whose side i'm on yet.

My friend Nick from high school posted this on his facebook, and it made me giggle, so i thought i'd share it with you!

Andy's weekend is pretty well spoken for, so i have to find other people with which i can hang. I plan on going to see a movie at some point, but other than that, my weekend is pretty wide open! Give me a ring. Or a comment if you don't have my numba ;)

My annoyingly helpful roommate says we can't watch the new How I Met Your Mother until i finish my homework, so i have to go now.
