Moral of the story: it's a good song, the kid can sing, and it's the iTunes free download, so why not check it out? My favorite part of the music video is when Usher shows up at the end and gets bonked on the back of the head with a stray beach ball. Though the opening shot, when Justin is playing video games with his BFF Ryan and opens his mouth to speak with a disconcertingly baby-like voice is a close second. 

Oh, and I also LOVE (unashamedly so) Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA." Judge me if you want, but it WILL make you want to dance. And if it doesn't, then you're either just not cool or just not into dancing. And I'm not sure which is the worse fate. 

PS I read Robinson Crusoe for class (finished it about an hour ago) and it kind of sucked. And I'm totally writing this instead of a reading response to A Streetcar Named Desire (which is very anti-climactic the first time you read it, being one of the best-known plays in American theater, but is a lot better when you read it for the second time, especially if you've seen the movie before the second read. Who can forget Marlon Brando's "Stelllaaaaa!"?). And I also need to read "Of Property," by Locke, which may make me want to barf a little, seeing as how it will probably be very plodding and/or boring. On the bright side, it would seem that I've gotten really good at reading ridiculously convoluted nonsense, e.g. Robinson Crusoe, which would have been impenetrably dense to me back in high school. Yay intellectual progress, or something.
