I'm doing something wrong, but I will repent for it momentarily.
BK, I figured I wouldn't make it in time, so I copied my post. See? I'm not mad at you at all! ...Scratch that. My computer didn't copy it. It's ok. I shall try to recreate my post.
Re: yesterday's posts
After big band night on American Idol, I decided to get out my Eva Cassidy Live at Blues Alley cd. Talk about an inspired version of "Cheek to Cheek"! She was amazing!
About Love:
Well, I've never been in love before (ah, a Loesser reference), so I can't really comment too much about this. All I can say is I believe my generation throws the word "love" around, just as we throw around words like "amazing," "incredible," "fantastic," and more. Just about anything constitutes as "amazing" nowadays. For example, almost every Broadway cast and American Idol performer (and everyone in between) receives a standing ovation after every performance. Standing ovations used to signify the recognition of brilliance in this art form. Today, I wonder if performers expect them as audiences give them so freely. When did the bar drop this low? Hmm. But back to love. People my age (and I can't exclude myself from this group) tend to enjoy classifying various degrees of love with "I <3 you," "I heart you," "I luv ya," "luv ya," and "love ya!" Perhaps this signals that we understand the power of the word "love." On the other hand, these versions might showcase our inability to express out true feelings. It's difficult to grasp the fact that some people can't say "I love you" to people, even in the case of platonic love. Some people worry too much about how other people with take it when they say those three words.
Now to be good and return to the notes.
