Releasing Your Inner Cupid...or Something

Have you seen the new Hallmark cards advertised on TV?  This dull little couple sits in a car, and one of them opens a Hallmark card that plays REO Speedwagon's "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore".  They remember a concert from their past and suddenly grab each other with what would appear to be long suppressed passion.   Ahhhhh......it is really sweet and very cute, and they call it "Releasing Your Inner Cupid".

This is a brilliant product offered by Hallmark.  I know this for a fact.  Why?  Because "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" was once "our" song in a short relationship I had for several years 20 years ago.  The guy was chronically angry, emotionally abusive and ultimately became a stalker.  I never missed him one day of the last 20 years, but the REO Speedwagon song made me feel sentimental.  

Music and perfume does this to us.  We never forget something special somewhere in our overstuffed little hard drives, and the senses can isolate the good and eliminate the bad well enough to make a person  feel sentimental about a stalker 20 years later (!)  Scarey, isn't it?  It should be called "Unleashing Your Inner Neurosis".
