The Job Seeker With the Dragon Tattoo
by Peter Weddle
By now, you've probably heard of Stieg Larsson's best seller, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. For those who haven't yet read the book, it's (sort of) a murder mystery intertwined with the self-identity quest of a young woman with distinctive body art. While all of the plot's secrets are revealed by the end of the tale, one question is never addressed: what's the meaning of the dragon tattoo? The answer is especially important to job seekers.Tuesday, February 7, 2012
"All the other kids with their pumped up kicks...better run, better run...."?
Have you
guys heard "All the other kids" by Foster People? Well, I thought it
was just the average weird catchy sing along song on the radio for a while now,
but today, out of curiosity, I searched the lyrics, which were actually kind of
disturbing. What is your opinion of the lyrics? And is the song about a kid
that was abused and teased, shooting it out? A sociopath maybe. My friend seems
to think it's not a real gun...
Oh, and here are the lyrics....
Robert's got a quick hand.
He's looking 'round the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah, he found a six shooter gun.
In his dad's closet with a box of fun things, I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
