Humbling…
This past week, I went to my soon to be Alma Mater, Towson University to get my OneCard. The OneCard, in addition to serving as a student ID, also serves as a debit card of sorts. As I saw my ID, I was humbled. Humbled at the fact that in a couple of years, the past decade I have spent in broadcasting will have some teeth to it. Humbled at the fact that I made it into a university after a long decade of being in school (which included a collective four year absence.) Admittedly, I could have done it sooner had I not bs’ed it for a year and a half.
I also have found it humbling while some of my friends have lost their jobs because of the economy, I have been blessed to rejoin two places where I was previously employed before, Traffic.com in Washington and WNAV-AM in Annapolis I am hoping that I will be working out of their Baltimore office soon, should a spot open up.
It’s called moving on and growing in life, a position which have have done more in the past year or so than anything else, starting with my car purchase in March of 2008. For someone who is known for being a hermit, this is a big deal.
One more thing to add the list of life changes, moving. This time, it is not a move across the parking lot. In August, I will be a resident of Baltimore County, Maryland. This was not an easy decision of whether to stay in Laurel considering the safety net around me. However, it would be more convenient to me as far as school, 20 minutes away as opposed to being 40 minutes away and then doubling back to Laurel, and then commute to my main job in Arlington, Virginia.
Overall, humbling is the overall emotion right now, but still chilled.
NEW RULES FOR SUMMER
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – If you have been on my facebook two things you should notice. Number one, I do not take my statuses all that seriously. Number two, I have posted a couple of new rules that should be effective immediately. However, because you cannot tell grown people what to do, my opinion means jack. However, if you agree with me on these proposed rules below, let the church say amen.
With that in mind, with one week to go before official summer, I think there are two new rules that should be proposed…
New Rule No. 1…If you are female age 18 and over, you are banned from wearing platform flip-flops, especially if they are made of foam. First of all, you are not a kid anymore. You are an adult now and should be dressing like one. Platform flip-flops are no longer cute on you, especially if they are made with something that can also be used as insulation. The ones that are actually made of real shoe material are not that much better…adding some embeleishment or a big name brand on their (Baby Phat, Bebe, etc.) will not make said platform flip-flop any more adult looking…as a matter of fact, they become uglier. You are an adult, buy some real sandals or a flip-flop that does not make you look like a bamma.
New Rule No. 2…I don’t care how old you are…NO MORE CHINESE SLIPPERS. These are worse than flip-flops because they are worn with any and everything! Shorts, sweats, nice dress…memo to anyone (primarily female) who wears Chinese Slippers…if you buy footwear from the dollar store, they should not be worn in public. As with the afformentioned footwear above, they do not look cute on you.
These new rules for summer will be updated throughout the season.
