Okay, so maybe this subject is so years ago and what does a Taylor Swift song have to do with rowing? Well, if you saw this video, you'll see the blond surfer-like connection that catches my eye ... but I digress.

I am the first to admit I am completely disconnected when it comes to music. What I hear comes from the television monitors at Golds Gym Hollywood and listening to the radio in the car.  Okay, yeah, I do have a few Enrique Iglesias CD's but that's about it.  I can't even remember what year it was when I first heard this song in the car driving north on California SR 99. But it was in July and I had never seen the video at the gym.

I didn't even know who the artist was but as I listened to it, my eyes left the road and I stared at the radio.  It sounded like a love song written by a girl for a girl.  If you close your eyes, and not become suggestively betrayed by the "appropriate" relationship coupling in the video, it REALLY sounds like a lesbian who is truly love sick for another chick.

Later that year, on the television monitor at the gym, I saw who the artist was, Taylor Swift, and the name of the song was You Belong To Me.  I just wish for once, a music video could take a mainstream song and use a gay or lesbian theme in it.

So why am I bringing this up now? I still like listening to the song and it is the only thing that motivates me as I process my bills in Microsoft Money.   Why do I let these receipts pile up? Ugghhhhhhh!!!  

Yeah, maybe that song runs through my head when I see a certain really good looking guy who is out with his boyfriend, laughing on Santa Monica Blvd. Yes, I am still burning a candle for Troy J....
