    My simple yet unproven theory (well I don't know if it's been proven or not, just haven't bothered to done the research)

    In these economic times, it's a dog eat dog world out there. People (especially execs/some owners/bosses) in an attempt to ensure their financial wellbeing are willing to raise the prices for everything so that they can make that extra dollar and don't have to share it with their coworkers (thus why salary rates don't increase). I had a discussion with my friend purely on a theorical scale and we noticed that in these times the rich are getting richer (CEOs and such) while the managers on the lower end of the corporations are getting paid the same rate/less. That's why in today's media the positions of being a CEO or some high-end executive are so glamorised because they're the type of jobs that can get you big $$$ which to most people = success.

    Goddamnit I hate it when you just listen to the radio 1-day and you get some stupid song stuck in your head!

    Right now it's that damned 'Freefalling' song by that Zoe girl. The chorus is so irritating it's managed to leech itself onto my brain! Urgh! When she sings the chorus with the pitch rise it's one of those sounds that sound so dramatic/ridiculous that it becomes memorable. DAMN HER!!!

    Coz I'm frreeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeEEEEEEEEEE!

    You know what's even worse? I have never seen the music video and I don't know what the singer looks like and I thought - 'I reckon the music video is going to have some blonde Caucasian woman with curly hair and bad makeup like the equally-as-annoying Cascada singing in some contemporary set with many dancers groping her body "sensually".'

    And what was in the music video?
    Exactly everything I had predicted LOL.

    It's not that I hate these singers with passion and think that whatever I listen to is 1,000,000x better, it's that these singers and their songs are played AGAIN and AGAIN which bugs the hell out of me, sure you could tell me to just change the station and turn off the radio but I have to encounter these songs whenever I listen to Hamish and Andy on the radio while driving home!

    I didn't mind California Girls when it first came out, but now everytime I hear it I GO BESERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
