It’s like watching a plate fall from the cabinet across the room. You know it’s going to happen, you can’t stop it, yet you just sit and watch it unfold.
With two boys of my own (and a baby on the way…), there’s no way I’d let them live the life of the boy on the right side of the screen. Why would I let one of my boys live the life on the right side, so the other can blissfully exist on the left?
For those of you out there who don’t watch MTV…(gasp!), you need to check out this video, set to Radiohead’s ‘All I Need’. And for those of you over 40, the lyrics are below. I’d love to hear your thoughts and reactions…
I am the next act waiting in the wings
I am an animal trapped in your hot car
I am all the days that you choose to ignore
You are all I need
You are all I need
I am in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds
I am a moth who just wants to share your light
I’m just an insect trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you because there are no others
You are all I need
You are all I need
I am in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds
It’s all wrong
It’s all right
For more, you can watch the Story of Stuff if you dare.
