I Believe in Music the Way Some People Believe in Fairy Tales

OOooooh, I loved August Rush. It is one of the single most beautiful films ever made. Freddie Highmore is either going to be an amazing adult actor or he'll join the endless parade of pitiful child stars, and I'm pegging him as the next Ryan Gosling. He can communicate so much emotion with just a slight change in his facial expression, the same way that Ryan Gosling does.

I see this bumpersticker almost every day, and in huge letters it says WWJBD? And the first time I passed it I thought sweet, what an awesome philosophy to live by. What would Jack Bauer do? But then when I got closer I realized in smaller letters it said What Would Jimmy Buffet Do?

And for some reason, that really pissed me off. Jimmy Buffet, seriously? Who cares what Jimmy Buffet would do? He's a drunk! That sings about getting drunk and not caring about life! Why would you want to do what he does, which is blow off responsibility?

And now every time I see it, it makes me mad. What would you rather be, America's greatest weapon, one of the sexiest men alive, or.... Jimmy Buffet? It's a stupid bumpersticker and I hate it.

Of course, you could make a couple statements about me based solely off of how much I just ranted about a random bumpersticker that's not even on my car, or the car of anyone I know personally. But that's another post.
