I'd also point out that there are many holy days throughout the year that while important to the Church, are not recognized by the state and so trying to sort out my schedule on those days is usually just a tad more difficult.<br /><br />2) I wonder if having some built in 'days off' for the students, similar to what what many business recognize for their employees would be an effective way to allow some flexibility? The schools can keep their normal schedule of federal holidays off, but also maybe have 10 days that the students can use as an allowance so they can meet a faith obligation and religious observances.<br /><br />3) I think in some ways I answered this already in question 1, or at least regarding the sometimes mild inconvenience I experience on those holy days that are not also holidays. That being said, I think I pretty much took it for granted that I'd have those days off during the year.<br /><br />4) I think your blog made a good argument from our history. And I guess my answer to question 2.

Anyway, I wanted to point out that you came over the day we turned the loveseat into a Conestoga wagon, and you crawled into it. That was such a precious, wonderful thing you did for my children.

It's not BAD. It's just super, super annoying, through its deliberate catchiness and the yodeling Auto-Tune and the pretentious melodrama of a Civil War battlefield standing in for the inner battle of this young man's mind. The reason we picked it is that it has successfully lodged itself in both of our heads and we can't shake it out, and so we feel much more anger towards it than we do towards anything else right now. Which means that the producers have won, because we are sure thinking about their song.<br /><br />Thanks for the input!

Overall, it's not a pop song I would have picked on, since it has much more substance than most of the pop/rap acts out there, and the lyrics reflect the state of mind of lots of people these days.<br /><br />The music video is completely over the top and out of place, however. I pictured this video taking place at some suburban party, where Mark Wahlberg-impersonator is walking around looking sullen and disenchanted with the festivities, and then the video ends with him running down the street into the distance, supposedly looking for something to stand for. That would be infinitely more fitting, and more likely the actual series of events which led to the lyrics of this song.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01167372340267878778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4610435826044357127.post-30615006339286634122013-04-25T21:29:14.527-04:002013-04-25T21:29:14.527-04:00I had so much joy reading this, the best part was ...I had so much joy reading this, the best part was "and the lead singer's face and voice illicit a gut feeling of rage within me" I very much enjoyed this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
