Used to be, when I'd see a girl that I like, I'd get out my book and write down her name. But when the grass got a little greener on the other side, I'd just tear out that page.
But then I fooled around and fell in love...
Oh yeah! This one for the win.

Old guys? I remember these songs from just a couple of years ago and I'm not an old guy.
I like the high pitch notes of most of these R&B songs and it was before autotune.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I agree. Grew up in Chicago, met a nice Polish girl girl in Chicago, took her to the prom, etc. We even saw Chicago in 1971 or 72. Not sure why we stopped seeing each other or what ever happened to her. I still have her picture somewhere. Oh yea, never got past first base either.
