tin roof, rusted
January 28, 2008I just had to make a congratulations card for my mom and I seem to have lost all design knowledge. I’ve got to do something everyday and keep the creative juices flowing. I think my brain has been on hiatus for too long.
Anyways.
I really hope that when we die there is some book or something (perhaps a blog or wiki-type blog) that holds all the answers to all my questions. Not so much “meaning of life questions” but perhaps just tell me who really killed Jon Benet Ramsey. Was there a second shooter on the grassy knoll? Did Barry Bonds really use steroids? These questions bug me and I really wish someone would just tell me the truth about the bloody glove and the 2000 election. Throw me a bone.
While I’ve been home I’ve been subbing at a local high school and I really am sad that I do not have a lot of amusing work stories to share. For now though, my favorite conversation was between 2 English students discussing the hugely popular Flo-Rida featuring T-Pain ditty “Low” (I’m sure you know it, its on the radio every 5 seconds)
Student 1: Who wears boots with fur to a club?
Student 2: I know! It would be so hot.
Student 1: And jeans?
Student 2: Oh no jeans are fine for the club, but who wears Apple Bottoms?
These are the questions that 16 years old ponder instead of reading Chaucer.
Ok I’ve done this before but I’m bringing it back. Things I’m thankful for. Again, Oprah does this and whatever she does is good for me.
Today I’m thankful for:
1. While driving, people who flash their headlights at you to let you know that you can turn ahead of them, or that you can turn in front of them, or that a police man is hiding around the next curve. Its like the cars are talking to each other.
2. America’s ability to hold elections that do not end in cars exploding and curfews. A peaceful democratic process we all take for granted I’m sure.
3. Jodeci. Really just K-Ci, but I’ll take them all. Forever My Lady, Come and Talk to Me, Feenin’ and their version of Lately! (swoons) And they worked with Tupac.
And finally, Ella shows her support for Michael Vick. If only she knew what a traitor she was to the little pitbull in her.
I’m so glad that you brought back the thankful list. I like the ideas of cars talking. I like how motorcyclists will wave to each other (whether they know each other or not). I always wanted to be part of that exclusive wave club, but without having to ride a Harley.
-T.
As is my understanding, the most creative people are the ones that try to answer all those questions. But then again, I’m into a lot of weird philosophy.
