Misnomered

With my impending graduation this May, I've been singing this song to myself the past few days. While I haven't been thinking of the rest of my life so much in the sense of settling down and getting married, I wonder what I'll do in terms of work/a career after I finish university.

I started thinkin’ bout
The rest of my life
I found my selfish looking out for
Trouble and strife
Someone with whom I’ll spend
The rest of my days
But if I ever said I wasn’t
Set in my ways
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
You’d have to be a fool
Not to think about it

Am I gonna settle down
Am I gonna be
Someone who has to take
The rest of my life
To settle down?
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

Who’ll make a man out of me?

One thing I know about
The rest of my life
I know that I’ll be
Living it in Canada
I know I said I’ll share
The rest of my days
But I was only
Going through a phase

Am I gonna settle down
Am I gonna be
Someone who has to take
The rest of my life
To settle down?
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
What kind of fool
Doesn’t think about it?
You’d have to be a fool
Not to think about it?

Am I gonna settle down
Am I gonna be
Someone who has to take
The rest of my life

Am I gonna settle down
Am I gonna be
Someone who has to take
The rest of my life
To settle down?
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

Am I gonna settle down
Am I gonna be
Someone who has to take
The rest of my life
To settle down?
Then I guess you caught me
Lying to myself

I've blogged about missed connections before. I came across this one and thought it was cute.

I never check the missed connections on Craigslist so if someone was trying to get a hold of me it wouldn't work. I guess you take a chance when you post on missed connections. I wonder how often connections are made. Do you check missed connections?
