Today was a pretty stressful day, which probably could have been the worst day for me to discover I like the coffee at work. My dad had a stint put in so I had to go to work, pick up Elizabeth, rush to work and rush to the hospital. I was shaking from all the caffeine and running around town. At least I had the honors of color Sarah's hair purple and pink which looks so hard core by the way. When she told me the purple faded to blue I pictured electric blue not aquamarine. I cracked up!
I will be starting a new job with The Daily Reveille. Last fall I wrote for the paper, now I'm on the radio starting next week. I hope to God I figure all the technology out early on so I don't mess it all up. I'm pretty excited. I just need to work on a "radio voice".
So the title of this blog has to do with a recent event. I was using my sister's Ipod. It was on shuffle and I was so proud to see that she listens to Muse and White Zomie's "More Human than Human". So proud! She gives me hope that maybe her age group won't disappear with the last top 40 that maybe they can expand their mind to appreciate small bands like The Whigs and jazz band music like Amy Winehouse while they indulge in Kayne West and Panic at the Disco.
I was horrified when another girl my sister's age (15) didn't know who the Beatles were. And another girl my age (19) responded with "you know the movie Across the Universe?" It was a stab in my heart.
I need to call my mom and thank her for letting me listen to Michael Jackson, Alanis Morisette, and George Michael as a child rather than the then popular Backstreet Boys and NSYNC.
