Does anyone else think that guy Kasey from The Bachelorette (the guard and protect your heart douche) sounds a lot like Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
Is there anyone else on the planet who has ever watched both of those shows?
*crickets*
I didn’t think so…
Sunsets. I like to take pictures of the sun. As it sets, as it rises, as it warms the Earth. Here are a few of my favorite shots over the last year or so.
Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…
Hometown Glory
I’m from a small town in Florida. Not a couple hundred people small, but still, small. That tiny, redneck universe is made tinier with the advent of Facebook. The social media site gives incredible scope into the lives of people who never moved away from their hometown. I call it a Black Hole, and it will suck you in and keep you there if you don’t have enough imagination (or gas money) to get out.
I sometimes read these peoples’ status updates in disbelief. Then I browse their pictures, and immediately regret that decision. And then, with their misspelled words and inappropriate pictures seared into my brain, I think to myself, “I should start an anonymous blog about these people.” But where would I start?
The girl who has renamed herself after a popular motorcycle maker, who I truly don’t remember but has added nearly all of my friends to her list? Her “info” section states that she graduated from my high school 4 years before I did, and yet, she lists her birth year as 1977, only one year older than me? Same girl is a lesbian (not that there’s anything wrong with that) with 5 kids, an unfortunate looking girlfriend, and disturbingly inappropriate pictures of her pre-teen daughters. She’s also a singer-songwriter, and thank GOODNESS she links to her music website, replete with samples of her musical creations. I think my favorite is “Love is Suicidal.” Yes folks, she’s dark and brooding. She is also not a fan of punctuation AT ALL, but oh yeah, she’s a FarmVille fanatic. She’s taken to posting pictures from FarmVille, and “tagging” all of her new friends in them. This practice makes me want to throw very heavy objects. As if FarmVille wasn’t bad enough….
Or how about the former classmate who boasted a few weeks ago that she and her husband are -surprise!- expecting their first child, a girl, in March? Great news, right? It would have been, except she went on to say that the real surprise was that she found out she’s almost 7 months pregnant, and “went in thinking they were 3-4 months along.” HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW??? The girl was a couple of months and a contraction away from having her baby on a toilet at Burger King!! It’s bad enough that my hometown has abortion doctor killings and hurricanes putting us on the map; it doesn’t need that extra publicity.
Maybe one day I’ll actually get up the nerve to blog about these ridiculous people who keep me incredulously entertained and SO glad I’m not still living there.
Or wait… maybe I already did.
Charlie White looks like the dude from “Blue Lagoon.” Yes, I watched ice dancing tonight. No, I don’t have anything to say for myself.
Danger!! RT @FakeAPStylebook: Describe a spring shower as “light” or “pleasant.” If you’re in California, use “STORM WATCHAGEDDON 2010.”
Going to watch Joannie Rochette skate, and I’m sure I am going to cry. I can’t imagine what she’s feeling tonight.
Me: Temper Trap is playing here Friday 4/9 My sister: Oh yeah? Well Jazz pianist Marcus Roberts is playing here on Sat. So there!
About me
Sometimes my ramblings need more than 140 characters and less editing. Brevity has not always been my strong suit, and some thoughts just need to be stored...elsewhere. These things shall have a home, here.
