Procrastinating Math and its Positive Results

Math stinks. So while I was procrastinating, my older brother was watching music videos. So I decided to join him and of course he was watching Taylor Swift's "You Belong to Me," since Taylor's talentless music is taking over the world. So while I was not doing my math, Taylor actually inspired something. Odd. But in her music video she and this boy secretly like each other but because she is a "nerd" and he is with the obnoxious "hottie," they can't tell each other. But it could never end like that or little girls (or 30 year old men in my brother's case) would be in an uproar! Instead they corrupt young minds by instilling the shallowness of the world. In the end the "nerd" walks into the dance transformed into a new kind of hottie. Of course the boy sees her, leaves his obnoxious hot girlfriend and they kiss and fall instantly in love. Sounds cute right? But what Taylor is missing here, like many other cheesy chick flicks, is why he couldn't be with her before? Because then, he would rather be with the "hottie" with the status, that the video shows he obviously didn't like, than be with the "nerd" that he always liked. So according to Taylor, if I want that boy that I am secretly crushing on right now I have to change my entire appearance and status. And this is what we are instilling in these young girls' minds. No wonder the world is the way it is.
