Little Late to the Party

“But life is just a party
And parties weren’t meant to last.”
Prince

Yep, I’ve been late to a party … or two, or …

How about you?

Here’s the “party,” did you …

a) come on time,

b) get there late,

or,

c) not come to the party at all?

1) American Idol – did you pick it up during the first season, or join the bandwagon a few seasons later? Or did you avoid that one like the plague?

2) Cell phones – Okay, I’m coming clean here. I didn’t get one until around 2002. Way late for that party. Now it’s joined to me like an umbilical cord.

cell phone, party

3) Lady GaGa – I’ll be honest – I went to that party at the very beginning and then that party got a little too crazy for me. But I know a lot of people – young and old – who joined that party after the “meat dress.” (Google that if you haven’t heard about it.)

4) The TV show LOST – well, let’s just say I ended up watching the first several seasons with MLB, right before the last season was about to air. Loved that show, but boy was I late coming to that party.

LOST, TV show, party

5) Blogging – I really wanted to do this years ago, and really should have. Didn’t make it to the party until August 2011. This is one of the best parties I’ve been to. ;)

6) Facebook – I’m embarrassed to say, a friend dragged me kicking and screaming to that party, while we were at a New Year’s Eve party. She made me sign up right there, that night.

7) The Hunger Games – did you read the books, or see the movie? I’ll admit, I saw the movie, and wished I had read the books.

[Should I even bring up the song "Red Solo Cup?"] *he snickers out loud*

Red Solo Cup, Toby Keith, party

Boy, it looks like I’m a little late to almost every party.

What’s your track record on different fads, styles, or trends in popular culture?

Are you usually late to the party, like me?

What immediately comes to mind when you think about this?

Savants – I Just Might …

I've discovered a show on the Science channel called Ingenious Minds. The series presents the stories of several savants. Some of these are not your every day savants who were born with special gifts, and yet have other disabilities. They have … [Continue reading]

Perchance to Clamber

As Vanilla Ice stated so eloquently: "Word to your mother." And today's word of the day is "clamber." I've loved this word since JK Rowling over-used it throughout the great Harry Potter books. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad she did. It's a … [Continue reading]

5 Questions You Should Never Ask in an Interview

Times are tough (and apparently, my writing is pretty cliche). Many are in the marketplace looking for employment, scouring the internet, sending out applications, and hopefully getting interviews. But what do you do when you get to the … [Continue reading]

Unwritten, Write?!

The lamp reflects on the family room windows. Dancing lights. Beyond, on the hill, the flourescents of the complex glimmer like sprawling Italian villas. In the background, a Law & Order marathon plays. You hear that all-too-familiar … [Continue reading]
