Hide your shame.

So we all have our 'guilty pleasure' songs. I can admit that I do. Songs that you know are so lame you never ever want anyone to know you secretly like.
"Oh, it was just on the radio, I just had it on for background noise, I didn't even realize that song was on."
Yeah sure. What's your excuse for lipsyncing the past 2 verses into a pen before you saw me here?

It's OK, we all have them. I do, and I know they suck.

Even though we all know in our hearts that we love a crappy song or two, it's still really funny when you catch someone jamming out to something REALLY embarrassing. Or it's not really too funny at all, and I'm just a jerk.

As I was walking home from work today, I could vaguely hear something very loud was happening a couple of blocks ahead of me.

What the hell is going on up there?  I asked myself. Is there some kind of outdoor festival happening that I was unaware of?

I start walking a little faster, curious to see what that racket is all about. I hit a "don't walk" sign at a crosswalk (I think we've all learned to just wait for the light), and stopped to looked around to find whatever this ruckus was. Then I found it. Wow.

Driving towards the intersection was a large, shirtless, old man on a motorcycle BLARING that Celine Dion song "The Power of Love". Not just listening to it, but blasting it. Like birds were getting stunned by the sound waves and falling from the sky for a 2 block radius.

Normally, I hate hate when people think it's awesome to drive through downtown with their stupid music cranked to ridiculous levels. None thinks it's cool. Cause it isn't. Don't do it, you'll just look like a douche. Noone else wants to hear your music. (Sidenote - they probably don't want to hear you revving your engine either.)

I couldn't help myself, I started laughing. Like a crazy person. Luckily Celine was probably drowning out the sound my of laughter, so I possibly didn't look like too much of a psycho for the remaining 2 blocks of my walk.

In conclusion: dude, I don't care what kind of music you like. But when you are cruising through downtown on your motorcycle with your music at an aggressive level, it looks like your trying to be a tough guy - "The Power of Love" on your stereo, which is set on 'kill' level isn't helping your case. Turn it the f down and enjoy your ride.
