"Modern Love" Matt Nathanson

She said this talking
Kind of wears me out
And all these salesmen
Baby, make me tired

They're no good, to tell you the truth, she said
I've been gettin' used to liars
They send me love songs, with store bought words
They make promises, like politicians

This modern love is not enough
She said, watch your back
I'm nobody's girlfriend
This modern love is not enough
They said one big exhale never did me no, good

I'd let em in, I
Oh man, I'd let em win
I'd burn my house down
Just to hear them scream my name
I've carried hopes
And heavy daydreams she said
But I'm done with sleeping

Take the phone calls
Take this circus
Take the drama, cause baby it's worthless

While I feel I'm a very opinionated person, I generally try to stay away from preaching on my soapbox. However, if there's one thing I'm passionate about and want to spread the word on, it's volunteering for good causes.

Trust me. I know how easy it is to say you don't have time in your schedule, and you have other important things to tend to. Hell, even if they're not that important, I get how your own life activities may take precedence over volunteering. I'm guilty of it too. Waking up Saturday mornings to volunteer at Feline Rescue is a challenge most weekends. But once I'm there, knowing my seemingly measly 2 hour shift can help make a difference, I'm happy I woke up and went.

There are so many organizations and good causes out there that need help. Even if you can only spare 1 hour a month, it can do a lot of good. I deeply encourage everyone to take a look at



This site directed me to Feline Rescue, and also opened my eyes to the many volunteer opportunities around the Twin Cities. You can enter in your location and keywords to find organizations. It can be for animals, the environment, food pantries, battered women's shelters, etc. You name it, you can find it.

You don't have to stop there. If there are causes you know you'd love to help with, reach out to someone in that organization. I went to the Make A Wish website on my own, and am now a wish granter. While I haven't turned in my application for the Ronald McDonald House Charities yet (procrastination at its finest), I do simple things like collect pop tabs. (It's real folks. As someone who has stayed at one of their houses before, I can tell you it is an amazing charity. I could slap every person who laughs at me and says it's not "real".)

Random tangent aside, please see if you can fit a little volunteer work in your schedule. You'll be surprised how great it feels to help out. :)

Let me drop a disclaimer: my rant does not come from jealousy, bitterness, or envy. I love love. I'm happy for people in love. It's a beautiful thing. This rant comes from straight up hatred. To all of my good friends who do this-I love you, but you have to stop! I highly doubt I'm the first person to say this, so take heed.

Sure, I'm single. I'm nowhere remotely near being in love. But I pray on all that is holy that when I am I will never be like this:

Yes, it looks harmless, but come on. Chances are, if you're in love, you're talking to and/or seeing your significant other on a daily basis. If you feel a sudden urge to express your love, there are other means. Try a phone call, text message, or even a private message. Hell, go over to their house and say it face to face if it strikes you that hard. But for the love of God, stop blowing up my newsfeed with your personal declarations of love. That should be between you and your significant other-not all 855 friends on your list. I'll let you have your engagement, wedding, and anniversary posts. Those are one time special occasions that I have no problem with you sharing. But there's no need to constantly blast "I love you baby" on your boyfriend's wall. (I was going to include girlfriend to that mix, but I've never seen a guy spam his girlfriend's wall with love messages. Not saying it can't happen-just haven't seen it.)

If you are really in love, you don't need to flaunt it on social media to prove it to others. Keep the lovefest to yourselves friends. I think a lot of people will thank you for it.
