Today was the American football match of Chicago Bears (Da Bears) against Green Bay Packers (Cheeseheads). The Cheeseheads won 21-14, but Da Bears did put up a good fight, climbing back by 14 points in the last quarter. Overall, it was a good game :)History behind the "Cheesehead" name:
Cheesehead is an interesting term, and especially demonstrates the skill of Wisconsin residents at making lemons out of lemonade, or more appropriately cheese out of milk. The term cheesehead began as a slanderous one, which was applied to the Dutch, who were known for their fine dairy products. Since Wisconsin later became known as the dairy state, cheesehead became a derogatory term for residents of Wisconsin.
Anyway, I like the new song from Pink, F**kin Perfect, a lot as it tells of self-acceptance, accepting yourself for who you are. I will not put the MV up as it is slightly gruesome, but I will put the music video (with lyrics) up.
Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're f*ckin' perfect to me!
You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred...such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same
Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're f*ckin' perfect to me
The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Why do I do that..?
Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby..!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me...
