Because You Care

One of the really awesome things about being married is the fact that you can have a running argument that goes on for years and years, and it doesn't stop until one of you dies, or unless the judge rules for one side during the divorce proceedings.

Ours happens to be about the lyrics to Van Hagar's "Why Can't This be Love." The short version is that my wife thinks the song is about a guy who thinks a woman is really great, but he's not in love with her, and is asking himself why. Since I read and understand English, I say that it's about a guy who is in love with a girl, and this love is unrequited, so he's asking HER why she's dissing him, since it's got what it takes, etc, etc. Here are the lyrics, and you guys can argue it out in the comments section.

Anyway, we've been having this argument for over 6 years, and it never gets old. But I'm not here to argue it out in public. That would be super-annoying, people putting their personal business on a blog.

I have an ongoing argument with my brother, too, but it's not as interesting. It goes like this:

Him: You're stupid.

Me: No, you're stupid.

Him: Dude, you're so dumb.

Me: Shut up, idiot.

Him: You're fat.

You get the picture.

Anyway, have a good Fourth of July. Here's a John Philip Sousa March to get you pumped:
