really relating to scissor sister's I can't Decide right now...is that sick? just feeling some animosity, ya know? people can be so obnoxious and sometimes what you thought was a person's greatest charm is, in the end, their most annoying trait of all. is this even a song one can relate to? do i even get it? can you relate to something so campy?
accordingly, is art imitating life or is life subsequently imitating art? i feel like my feelings right now are in many ways reflected in that song, but it's such a playful, somewhat silly song that i wonder whether it is actually modeled on true feelings? maybe i just love how upbeat and simultaneously deranged it is...but regardless, maybe i was feeling less hateful prior to listening to it and now i feel semi-homicidal - life imitating art?
what's going on? where am i? i think im delusional...need coffee, food, and, most importantly (and this is how it all comes together), to MAKE OUT
p.s. speaking of campiness (is that a word?), there's a great article in the New York Times style magazine (evan rachel wood issue) about the concept of "camp", it's origins in French writer/philosopher Susan Sontag's paper "Notes on 'Camp'", and Daphne Merkin's updated take on the notion...man, we're living in a screwed up time
