music monday {dj got us...}

yeah, i know it's not monday.

the back story:
last night, i sat at the computer and started writing a {music monday} post about my current obsession with zac brown band. i was totally uninspired (most likely caused by exhaustion) and gave up. at that point, my intent was to just skip {music monday} all together. then, on the radio this morning, right as i'm nearing our office, this song started to play. i turned it up loud. really loud. and then decided i'd just do a quick post about the song...nothing elaborate. no stories. just to share a fun song. but, in the few minutes of that song, as i danced and sang in my car, i realized i did have a few stories to tell (yes, i know everyone is shocked at this point).

the random story:
i love usher. i have for a long, long time. i actually remember when he was on the bold and the beautiful. yes, there was a day and time when i actually watched soaps...a lot...all of the ones on CBS. i was in high school and apparently had nothing better to do with my time. but, i digress. i don't own every old usher album, but i do have the my way and confessions CDs. my iPhone currently holds 9 favorite songs.

the pointless story:
while looking up pictures for this post, i learned that usher and i are actually the same age. i did not realize that. he looks much better for his age than i do :)

getting to the point:
now, for the actual song...this is one of my favorite usher songs in a while. probably the best since his confessions album. so fun!!! after you watch the video, read my last tiny story below...



the obligatory *cute kid* story:
coleman likes this song too. (you shouldn't be surprised. he has very good taste in music.) see those cool dance moves usher has going on? particularly the *side to side* thing? coleman does that when he watches the video. now i'm debating whether he's going to be an MLB pitcher, NFL quarterback or a white-boy R&B singer...
