So I was looking for a video of the Jimmy Eat World song If You Don’t, Don’t because it’s been stuck in my head since I heard it in my car this morning. Occasionally I take a gander at the comments people have left on YouTube videos because I need a laugh. Oh boy did I laugh this morning
“i’ve always loved this song because of three reasons 1 because in 5th grade i had a crush on this girl named Tanya and it makes think of her… now she’s in Arizona and i never got to show her my true fellings and now in 7th grade i regret each day :<….. 2 IT RULES!!!!!!!! 3 it puts out a point (somehow)”
Don’t lie, at first you were like aw some guy out there remembers a girl he had a crush on the 5th grade, that’s sweet. Then you kept reading, the wheels turned, and you choked on your coffee in your haste to laugh because you realized he was in fact just now in the beginning of SEVENTH GRADE and…he regrets every day.
Also, what does “it puts out a point” mean? and why is it only “somehow” putting out a point? Is that anything like “putting out” as I know it? Did Tanya not put out? Hopefully not because she was, according to my calculations, about 9 or 10. What are true feelings like when you are 9 or 10?
OH NO, YOU NEVER GOT TO SHARE YOUR TRUE FEELINGS!??!
I’m cruel, I know, but I can also identify with our young friend. I am trying oh so hard to remember the face of the boy I had a crush on in 5th grade. I remember his name, Daniel Piano, and that he wore a puffy Pittsburg Steelers starter jacket that I used to secretly sort of snuggle with when we had assigned seats next to each other. He was so painfully cool because he threw caution to the wind and used mechanical pencils - the #1 outlawed school suppy in the 5th grade. Shortly after he began smoking and became too bad boy for me.
I still have a soft spot for steelers starter jackets.
Good luck with Tanya, kid.
