IF this had happened THEN I would be upset

It's funny how destiny works sometimes. Yes I am a self-proclaimed Sylvia Brownian so I know everything happens for a reason and I know that certain things are orchestrated by a higher power. But this was unreal. Last night as I lay in bed, watching television over the phone with JP (the long distance relationship version of spending quality time) I expressed to him my extreme detest for Chris Brown's new song Forever. Now I must admit, when it comes to Chris Brown, I usually ain't too proud to beg, but this song had me rethinking our fictitious, R. Kelly-like relationship. But I digress. As I laid in bed, rambling on about the egregiousness of the tune, something happened. And not just anything, something big. In true Exodus fashion, the good lawd himself stepped in and played the video for Forever. Now, I am no religious zealot, but I recognize the work of GOD, and nothing could have been more perfect in that moment. I no longer needed to use words like "abysmal" or "homosexual club banger" to describe the song, JP could now see the ridiculousness for himself. Maybe said Mr. Brown was influenced by the techno craze that seems to have possessed his girl Ri Ri, but this is a classic case of when bad music happens to good people.  As my militant, yet insightful beau put it "Chris Brown you already dance too much, how are people going to respect you now?" Get it together C. Breezy. Get it together. While listening to the song hurts my heart, this experience has taught me several things. 1. Long distance relationships truly can be fruitful with the help of cable television 2. Everyone, including Chris Brown, can be wrong. And I mean very wrong 3. All the time GOD is good, GOD is good all the time. Amen.
