You should start in the Spring
You should be resigned to getting older, but also, be optimistic
Be nostalgic, but not, you know, morose
Have the smouldering fire of youth burning inside of your chest
But realize that it is being extinguished
Be a little sad about this
Call your sister or brother
talk about your childhood
hang up in a good mood
feel sweet
have a crush on a very pretty girl
be making progress on this
maybe she is foreign
Northern European if you can help it
Hair color doesn’t matter much
but try to make it blonde or light brown
she rides a bicycle
Be in an argument with your best friend
not a serious one
but not a short one either
An important one
the ‘game changer’ as you guys will later refer to it
Drunkenly kiss the European at a party
feel a bit let down
disappointed even
call ex-high school sweetheart when you get home
get in an argument
sleep
Finish a David Eggers book. Doesn’t matter which one. Any one.
Go to a baseball game with someone from work
flirt with the girl that your buddy’s wife brought along
ask for her number
go home and think about calling her
Listen to Built To Spill while you decide

Today’s guest post is brought to us by Rebecca Fraijo. Please enjoy.

It is a pleasure to introduce Adrienne Patenaude, singer, songwriter, STAR!

Today we are discussing Miss Patenaude’s song, ‘fallinginlovewithyou.’ Take a listen to the complete song.

This song is bravely simple.  For one thing, Adrienne eschews contrivance in her songs.  Things like “music” and “sounding good” have no place in Miss Patenaude’s oeuvre.  You might not like it but I applaud her bold choice in forgoing things like, notes and instruments. Other composers would tell you otherwise.  Ugh!  ComPOSERS more like.  AMIRITE? High 5!  Anyway, I for one admire her straight forward approach to songwriting.  AP very literally tells it like it is. She doesn’t distract you with pretty language, flowery words or (barf!) metaphor. Nope. No.  Nuh-uh. Adrienne just sticks to the facts, and the facts are these:she is falling in love with you, then she stopping being in love with you, and then falling in love with someone else, and then TWIST!, loving you again.  If there is one thing I like about Adrienne Patenaude it is that you always know where you stand with her.  But did you hear that?!  She loves *you* again.  Adrienne loves you dude. You should change your phone number. You’re a pretty lucky guy.
