"Awww....."

Hi all...

Around campus, we are struck by the blossoming "young love" and inappropriate groping in the library. What is it with this need clingy freshman girls have to attach themselves to bothered guys within the first three weeks of school? They seem almost ferocious in their efforts to--well, suck, as it were, their way into a relationship.

Jordin Sparks recently released her no. 1 hit "Battlefield." As we thumbed through the comments on iTunes, we came across the following remarks--surely made by a recently jilted sixteen year old.

"Jordin's new song 'Battlefield' is out of this world amazing...All I can say is that it is EPIC....beyond hit song, beyond an anthem....simply epic! Tell all of your friends. This is the best song of the year....hands down."

Is this an indication of a trend in our culture? Is the classic story of "boy meets girl, boy and girl choose to fall in love after a careful analysis of the pros and cons of the combination of their respective color code personality traits and FICO scores, boy and girl marry with full approbation of family and friends, boy and girl ride off into a 5.4 percent mortgaged sunset" becoming extinct?

Please take a second to watch this epic-ness from Jordin and help us crack the code...."Why IS love like a battlefield...?"
