So, I should probably explain why I named this blog "missing lunchbox." Welp, it's a reference to John Mayer's song entitled "83":
Whatever happened to my lunchbox
When came the day that it got thrown away
And don't you think I should have had some say in that decision.
"83" is about John's nostalgia for the simpler days of life ("I wish I could be 6 again, Oh make me a red cape, I wanna be Superman", "If heaven's all we want it to be, send your prayers to me, care of 1983").
I too have a pining for the days before bills, taxes, friends who live in different time zones, graduate school applications, GREs, and boys (or lack of at the moment). I definitely wish I didn't have the knowledge of the horrors of the world: wars, the impact of natural disasters, political corruption, and Paris Hilton (yeah, cheap shot).
So, at some point, my lunchbox went missing, and I just letting you know about the resulting upheaval...
P.S. John Mayer is an artist under Columbia Records. I'm not sure how to properly note the lyrics' copyrighted status, so, um, yeah...I love John Mayer, he's the best ever, he has good songs, cool lyrics, and his record company would never sue or fine a fan!
