Blog Relocation.

To All of my Readers

As of tomorrow, Tuesday, December 8, 2009, my blog will be moving to a new location via WordPress. Rest assured this blog will continue to be here for a while, however I will no longer be posting here.

The reason for my move is because WordPress is the chosen blog of the professional world. I'm currently in the process of building my personal brand: She Is Electrifying. To do so requires me to move my blog to a more professional and accessible outlet. 

What's going on at My New Blog

• I've decided to continue doing my Top-Five as a weekly feature appropriately titled Top-Five Tuesdays.
• You can subscribe to my blog so you will get my posts directly in your inbox each time one is posted, which can be helpful for those who have hectic schedules but would still like to read what I have to say. The easy-to-use subscription widget is in plain view on my homepage.
  
• In addition to the email subscriptions, you can subscribe via RSS with one simple click.
• In the near future there will be a variety of one-click buttons directly to my Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn (once I get the latter set up).

Where can I find this new blog?

You can find it right here.

I hope that all of you enjoy my and improved blog and more importantly that you respect my creative growth and transition into the professional world of blogging.

Descriptive Words and Alternate Meanings

“Let me ask you this” says Miree, with the hint of a laugh in her voice, “what’s your definition of a slut?”

I say to her “someone who will have sex with anyone and everyone without any regard for themselves or the other person.”

“See, that’s the same as mine.”

She went on to tell me how her friend Kyle has a completely different definition of the word. His being a little overkill personally and honestly a little off from the reality of the word, but that’s the difference between people.

Once we hung up I thought about how people have a variety of definitions for certain words such as hook up, dating, and lying.

I’ve done my fair share of traveling around the United States and whenever I remember to do so, I always ask people what their definition of hook up is. I’ve heard it defined as kissing, holding hands, meeting up with someone or a group, dating, and even sex.

The definition even varies with different generations. Older people tended to use hook up when referring to meeting up. Whereas younger people mostly used it in reference to something sexual.

Memory Lane.

"I hate Friday's!" Ben proclaims, chagrin deep in his tone. "Everyone's out tonight and I'm stuck at home, wanting to go to Wawa and pick up some egg nog".

The word Friday sparked an immediate idea to brighten up his mood. And mine too, for that matter. So I click around a little bit and find myself at YouTube's beck and call: "yeah I need this song for my beloved, do you have it?" Seconds drift by, going unnoticed, and out comes my answer: Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It.

Laugh, it's okay.

But seriously, this is such a great song and it always puts you in a great mood. It's one of those bring you back to the 90's when life seemed a lot less complicated because you were too young to notice otherwise songs.

After listening to this song, I stumbled upon a slew of old songs that I used to love back in the day. And by back in the day I mean during middle and high school. With each new song came the spark of a different memory. Weird how songs and smells can do that to you, huh?

Anyway, I've decided to make a list of the songs and post them on here with hope that they will take you down memory lane just as they did for me.

The list is soon to come!

Random Top-Five Rant.

Today's not even over yet and I've already got several things to get off my chest. I think, perhaps, a little ranting list will help keep the issues in check...sort of.

1. Some oddly shaped girl, who probably drives a Prius (Prius owners always seemed to be as oddly shaped as their cars), who happens to also be a drama teacher at another school, was presenting along with her group today in my creative writing class. When I raised my hand to comment, she listened to me for all 10 seconds (maybe 15, tops) and then stopped me and continued onward.

She didn't even hear me out nor did she let anyone else in her group say/do anything, except for what she had planned, most of which was only her talking. She even stopped some of her group members during the presentation because it wasn't what she wanted. It pissed me off to the point of almost walking out of the class and cussing her out. Bitch!

2. Just found out that Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 doesn't come out in theaters until November 19, 2010! I knew it would be a while before it came out, but I didn't think it would be that long! Although it's quite trivial I still hate waiting between movies. Sure, the books are a fantastic read, but I like the movies too. I'm from New Jersey, so I'm allowed to be a little impatient at times.

Follow the yellow brick road!

Everyone out there in Bloggerland should follow my beloved, Ben Archer, and read his brilliant prose.
