As one who's received his share of unlucky breaks in the game of love (it's a pity party, and you're invited) I thought the list for today might reflect that. So without further ado, I give you:



5 Amazing Brokenhearted Songs



5. "When Can I See You," Babyface. The legend. Recognize.



4. "Brokenhearted," (Soul Power Remix) Brandy. With a hand from Wanya Morris of Boyz II Men.



3. "The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind)," Dru Hill. This is a remake, but Sisqo really makes you feel it.



2. "Missing You," John Waite. Is there anyone on Earth who dislikes this song?


1. "Nobody Knows," The Tony Rich Project. Yeah, it sounds like Babyface. But it isn't. For the last time, it's not him!

5 Random, Disconnected Thoughts For Today

5. What have I done with my copy of the Westminster Standards?

4. Peter Falk is The Man.

3. My neck is still not right.

2. This one's gonna sting a little.

1. The more I read the Bible, the less perspicuous and sufficient it seems.

5 Thoughts On the Curiously High Profile Elections Last Night

5. I'll bet The Boss was mad about "Born to Run" being used as a victory song by the Republican governor-elect, Chris Christie.

4. At least Corzine, the current governor of New Jersey, used his own money. I respect that.

3. Don't be fooled: The Democrats and President Obama are justly alarmed by the VA governor's race and others (which they lost). This state had been trending toward them in national elections for several cycles.

2. Newly elected House representative Bill Owens (D-NY) will not be able to hold this seat in 2010.

1. This portends a 1994-like shift in the House of Representatives in 2010.

5 Natural Responses To Coming Upon Weingreen's Hebrew Grammar, Lesson 65 (Weak Verbs)

5. "Our Father, who art in Heaven...."

4. "What? Where? Who? What's going on here?!

3. "These verbs are seriously weak, dude."

2. "No, comparing it to the strong verb doesn't help."

1. "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to. You would cry too, if it happened to youuuuu!"

5 Signs You Have An Irrational Sports Hatred of Ryan Howard

5. You refer to him as Ryan "Strikeout" Howard.

4. You know that he went to Lafayette High School in St. Louis, while you attended nearby Eureka, and you hate that, though you were not especially attached to EHS at the time.

3. You improperly credit Albert Pujols with the 2006 National League Most Valuable Player award on purpose.

2. You say things like, "Ryan Howard, what a stupid name!" And, "I bet you lived on Stupid Street when you were a kid!"

1. You are rooting for the Yankees in this World Series.

5 Thoughts While Listening To A Babyface Tune

5. This cat probably writes #1 songs while humming in the shower.

4. If only I could write a song 1/10 as good as the worst he's written...

3. He looks good for 50.

2. You make it sound so easy.

1. DO NOT commit adultery, but especially not against a great singer-songwriter.

5 Possible Activites After the Most Brutal Hebrew Exam in the History of American Protestant Seminary Education

5. Read Dune.

4. Read The Andromeda Strain.

3. Read the Westminster Confession of Faith (specifically, the sections on Perseverence!).

2. Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

1. Sob uncontrollably.

I just realized I could some up the first part of the list as, "Read dystopic, misanthropic, sci-fi novels." Bitter much?
