Ain't no doubt about it....
Ever heard the song..."Paradise By The Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf?
Well thats what this blog is about...here's the lyrics.
The song basically details 2 youngsters in the back of a car doing what youngsters tend to do. As they are about to "go all the way tonight" the girl poses the question: Will you love me forever? Will you make me your wife? T
The song then transitions to the guy not being sure what he wants to do, he wants to "sleep on it." Of course in the end, he gives in. The third section of the song is all about the guy, now all grown up and married to this girl he promised to love for the rest of his life and he is praying for the end of time because he can't stand this girl anymore.
A good song. Whoever hasn't heard it should hear it and soon. It reminds me of a song that would be in a musical.
Now for the point of the blog. I love the song but the point of the song depresses me. The fact that this guy can't stand the woman he is married to and has been with since high school is a big downer for girls in love or girls seriously dating my age. I never want to not be happily in love or with someone I love. I may be a bit of an optimist when it comes to this, but what do you all think?
Meat Loaf had an interesting musical and movie life. Here's more on the one and only Meat Loaf.

But seriously though, that is scary...I don't like to think about the future or whatever but it does make you think...kind of ruins cloud nine, doesn't it?

High-Five!
Why? First off, I never thought I'd see anyone ever blog about Meat Loaf (I'm a fan). Second off, I never thought I'd see anyone ever blog about Meat Loaf. Either of those reasons would warrant a High-Five.
"I swore I'd love you till the end of time
So now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive
And if I've got to spend another minute with you, I don't think that I could really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow..."
I give the guy some credit for sticking it out in the interest of keeping a vow to himself and his former love.
