[Expletive Deleted]... You Remind Me Of My Mom.

Last week, when I saw the music video for Ur So Gay for the very first time, I had another one of those deja vu moments.* Sure, the song was pretty close to comedy central funny (for my retarded sense of humor anyways). But I swear I had seen Katy Perry from somewhere else.

And no, it wasn't a Katy Perry concert.

It turned out she bears a somewhat decent resemblance to... (drum roll please) yes, my mom.

You see, when I was back home for my beloved grandpa's funeral, grandma pulled out tons of old, OLD photos of her daughters, one of which eventually became mom. I saw for the first time that parents actually were young a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.

It took my brain a week to make the random eureka connection. Sure, it would be a young version of mom (oops sorry mom, I meant younger). And also more asian. But there is resemblance there. Oh snap, did I just come up with a palindrome sentence? Anyways, it was the same with Perry's I Kissed a Girl video.

Holy hybrid-powered Batmobile.

You can see this brings up a host of issues. Namely, a) I thought Katy Perry was kinda hot in those videos and b) does this make me Oedipus reincarnated, after realizing what I just realized?

Oy vey, motherf*ers. Oy vey indeed.
