Just Dance

No…literally, it’s all JUST DANCE!

This is not some cute, quirky, Lady Gaga reference (LOVE HER!)…this is an outcry.  Every single preset on my radio has been taken over with a cut-throat version of the dance genre.

Now ask my bff and she’ll tell you dance is my favorite genre…BUT…this is ridiculous.

Here’s a bit of a recap:

- Beyonce has single ladied her way all over KROCK, which is now some pitiful hate-monster of a dance station, solely focused on knocking on Z100.  I’m not a fan of Z100, but come on…just play your own music and maybe people will like you!

- KTU, 106.3, Z100, blah, blah, blah! What is the difference?  I’ll tell you.

KTU is now a thoroughly rehearsed commercial.  The morning show sounds like an infomercial.

106.3, you used to be so good, and now your Kanye-ing your way into New Jersey hearts.  Your pork roll and beans (is that right?) is not entertaining…sorry.  Don’t try so hard, we will like you for being you!

Z100…do something…for crying out loud…do something.  It’s the same tired sad song.

- I have absolutely only love for 87.7!  There is no bashing (other than minor/deserved KTU punches), no screaming, no whining and no trying.  Just dance. Pure, wonderful, on the money, dance.

On the plus side, I can hit just about any station right now to hear what I like.  It’s like a wonderful little dance shuffle…let’s just stop talking all of you.

Okay, done with the rant…Everyone hush!  I’m going to go listen to my radio now :)

Compulsion

You know how if you ever hold something in your hands, you have a compulsion to do something with it. You can’t just hold something without moving it or eating it or drinking it.  Is that a normal compulsion thing? Or is that not typical?

I know if I ever hold a bottle of water in my hands, I’m going to drink it…it’s a compulsion.

SO to figure out if this is normal or not, I ask my girlfriend.

M: Do you think it’s normal if I hold a water bottle I have to keep drinking from it?
I: No, I really don’t have much appreciation for water.
M: What do you mean?
I: It tastes too plain.
M: Hmm.

Holding

My buddy told me to “hold my thought” yesterday….I’m still holding.  Although now I have absolutely no idea neither of the thought or the conversation we were having.

My thought has gone cold…

Not to worry, there will be another one if you ever call back.

Initial Thoughts

Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the every day world.
An everyday pattern that becomes absolutely repetitive and completely mundane.

There are certainly ups and there are certainly downs, but overall doesn’t it all feel exactly the same? 

So that’s precisely where I sometimes find myself, lost in the ‘sameness’ of it all. 
Then I remember the things I like, the things that are never mundane, always interesting, and always new.  Those are the things…the things that make me happy…that inspire me to make the mundane a bit more creative as well.
