In an effort to do my part to help spread love and joy this Christmas season, I would like to encourage everyone to try to do something everyday leading up to Christmas. It’s not anything ridiculous either. I would just like for everyone who reads this to practice random acts of kindness. It will make you feel better and maybe the person you did something nice for will pass it on. If you’re in line at Starbucks buy the person behind you their coffee, wish them a happy holiday and call it good. It will make you feel better and there is an off chance that I might be standing behind you and I’ll score a free venti decaf soy white chocolate mocha. That would be appreciated. I’m telling you right now though, that if that happens to me because someone read this I am going to scream and run out of Starbucks like my hair is on fire. So there’s a chance you might get to see that too. Everyone wins!
It’s not that people in this state really need to be told to be nice. I mean Oklahomans are among the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I’m just proposing maybe doing something a little beyond the regular kindness you normally practice. If you see someone struggling with a cart full of groceries while trying to wrangle a brood of unruly future adults, help that person out by screaming at one of the kids. I’m kidding. I just wanted to see if you were still paying attention.
I’m just saying that I want this to be the best Christmas ever. I’m also saying that I would like to not be possessed by what sounds like the musings of an overly optimistic 12 year old girl.
Moving on.
There is a commercial running now for Cingular’s Blackjack phone where it appears that someone is dealing numerous phones in the same way one would deal a deck of cards. There is a song in the commercial that I thought was awesome so I did some internet detective work and found out that the song is called Stinging Sitars X 9 by an artist named Anjali. I found her profile on My Space, sent her a message telling her I liked the song and she actually responded back. I highly recommend you check out her profile and the song. You can find the link to it below. If that song doesn’t make you want to become a sitar playing bad ass super spy from the sixties then you have no soul. If it does however make you want to be a sitar playing bad ass super spy IN their sixties then your problems are well beyond your lack of appreciation for cool music.
Remember, venti soy decaf white chocolate mocha. Merry Christmas to me!
RIGHT NOW
MOVIE - Snow Day! I’ve never seen this movie but I figure Chevy Chase needs a plug now and again.
SONG - Stinging Sitars X 9 - Remember what I said sixty seconds ago? Do you?!
NEW WORD - I recently became aware of a word that is meant to express one’s being adulated. That word? ‘Chuffed’. It means that one is generally happy with their life. I have yet to be ‘chuffed’ because I am waiting until I get married! ZING!
