Theme Songs of my Life

Hey there blogosphere,

Did you know that I'm sensitive? As part of an ongoing series of posts about the theme songs of my life, I thought this simple plan tune is appropriate. Here it is:





Ok blogosphere, you got me. I'm not sure if "welcome to my life" applies to someone who spent the better part of the weekend crushing beers and potato salad. And no, I didn't post the video because it happens to be a friends favorite song (as per usual, I will not out anyone, so I'll refer to him as M. Smith...no, that's far to obvious...Lets call him Matt S.).

Blogsphere, I posted this video because I am in a bit of a moral dilemma. On the weekend I may - or may not, this is NOT an admission of guilt - have lost a bet. It was based on the subtitle of a photo I posted on facebook. Now, the premise of the supposed bet, according to the incumbent (did I use that word right?) was that I didn't think the subtitle to a photo of "Matt Smith Band" on a sign from the Red Lion in Belleville said "welcome to my life". Indeed, it turns out those words do appear in the subtitle - in homage to the real Matt S.'s favorite song. The question I pose to you blogosphere, is should I pay up, despite the fact that I refuse to admit that a legitimate bet took place.

Lets go over what a legitimate bet must have.

First, 2 willing parties.

Blogosphere, I came out and said "20 bucks". Whenever you bet such a large amount of money, your just trying to submit the betee into not taking your bet, and then laugh at them. It's the equivalent to a bluff in poker. The acceptance of such an offer does NOT mean theres 2 willing parties, just one.

Second, a hand shake

A hand shake did not take place blogosphere, as far as I can recollect.

Third, CREDIBLE and IMPARTIAL witnesses.

Blogosphere, there's no one in the world who would like to see me get my come-up-ins than these witnesses. The first witness, lets call him punch-bag, would sell me down a river for a dime if he ever got the chance. The second, lets call her dry heaves, may be impartial, but certainly not credible - as evidence in her nick-name.

So blogosphere, I think you'll agree with me, no bet took place. Will I eventually pay up? Stay tuned blogosphere...and no, I won't.
