GODDAM HIM! I swear he does this crap on purpose. [View all]

Consider the following --

-- I cry at the drop of a hat.

-- I don't know a lot of music beyond what I grew up with during high school and college

-- he sneaks songs onto my mp3 player

-- I hear a song I don't recognize...so I listen

-- It's "Cats in the Cradle" by some guy named Harry Chapin

-- I'm crying like an idiot in the middle of the office in front of everybody and they're looking at me as if I'm brain-damaged

He did it to me a few months ago with a song called "Sullivan" by a group called Caroline Spine. I damn near wailed-out in tears when THAT punch came. Then I found out it's based on a true story. That song puddles me up just thinking about it. "Seasons in the Sun" also got me pretty bad.

This is sabotage!
