So the other day, I went to a going away party for some of my husband’s co-workers – that I’ve never met. There is a program (kind of like exchange students) that allows people from Malasyia to come work here for a year. There is a group leaving this month so they had a shin-dig. It was odd, for me anyway, because it takes me a while to warm up to people. I have to dish out tidbits of my personality & see what works. I’m sarcastic & evidently, the Malasyian sense of humor doesn’t understand sarcasm. I finally shut my mouth, smiled & nodded where appropriate. After awhile, people wanted music. One guy got his laptop. Yeah newsflash: You can’t bring your laptop & expect people on the other side of the pool to be able to hear it. Where I was sitting, I could hear. The guy was picking lame songs. Like Technotronic or some 90’s club re-mix. So another guy was yelling “PANDORA.COM” and I’m thinking it’s a band or an inside joke.
However, it’s a cool website where you can make your own radio stations. I cautiously searched it with my mouse on "x" as I was prepared for the worse. When strangers give you a website, you never know. You type in an artist & it plays songs that sound similar. Awesome. You can even add artists to a category. For instance, I typed Linkin Park & then added 311, Metallica and several more. Then I went into the genres category & picked Southern Rap & then added old skool rap artists. So I got my rock station & my rap station. My office is so quiet, I must hear music. Otherwise, I go insane. I ain't afraid to jam to Rock Box by RUN DMC. You better recognize.
If I could literally jam in my office, this is what I would look like (minus the friends) as this was taken at the NKOTB concert:
Apparently pointing is the new Cabbage Patch. Also, I realize the randomness of my musical tastes but that's how I roll.
Having said all that, here it is.
