- I had the thought, briefly, I’d make today’s list literally a playlist.
- Just a bunch of YouTube links to songs you could click one after another.
- I suppose I could probably make a YouTube playlist for you, and share the link.
- But then you’d know my YouTube handle and we would not be maintaining separation of work and self.
- Still …
- Making and sharing a playlist is the modern day equivalent of making a CD for someone.
- Or, to go all ‘80s on you, a mixtape.
- I assume the “kids” these days make and share playlists.
- It was a big way of expressing ourselves back in the day.
- For me, anyway.
- Like writing with someone else’s words.
- Hoping to express a mood, feeling or intention to another person purely through melody and chords.
- Giving someone a playlist/CD/mixtape is asking someone else to see you, or letting them peek inside, and perhaps a small ask for affirmation.
- “Oh, yeah, man, that song was dope.”
- Slang.
- Music’s on my brain because every morning, driving the Teenager to school, we listen to that weird shared playlist I mentioned a couple weeks ago, the one that skips from Muse to Billie to Imagine Dragons to Fitz and the Tantrums to The Chainsmokers to Metallica.
- That was this morning’s drive.
- Well, I did skip Fallout Boy.
- When I find out who in my house is listening to Fallout Boy, there’s going to be a reckoning.
- I am also not a fan of Imagine Dragons.
- I would not take a free ticket to go see them.
- The girls can go without me, is what I’m saying.
- Maybe … and that train of thought left the station.
- Seriously. Answered a Teams chat and I now I have no idea where I was going.
- Typical, right?
- The not knowing where I’m going part, not the Teams chat.
- Teams has been my favorite work thing to come out of the pandemic.
- Well, and TCC Today, obvs.
- So where do you stand on fast food breakfasts?
- I told someone my all-time favorite fast food breakfast was the BoB from Whataburger (sausage, not bacon).
- Because what’s not to like about all that greasy diner food with Whataburger magic cheese?
- Yes, yes, I’m too old to eat like that.
- I mean, I haven’t had one of those in over a year, so …
- But holy cow it sounds amazing right now.
- And there’s a Whataburger right across the street …
- Have a great weekend, gang.
