| I'm not even sure who this is |
Every morning I come down from my shower, dressed and ready
to roll. I have a cup of coffee that I enjoy and there sits TLW (The Little
Woman) watching the morning news, and this is a daily ritual including weekends
and holidays.
On the TV every morning is the weatherman, John Elliot, who
annoys me to no end. I think the guy thinks the show is about him. But in spite
of my annoyance, he will show pictures of celebrities who have birthdays on
that particular day.
Usually about 3 or 4 people are shown with their name and
age and he mentions them and life goes on. Except for me, that is. If this
person is younger than 45, chances are I don’t know who the heck they are,
where they came from, or if they just snuck their picture in the lineup for a thrill.
Where have I been? These are supposed to be celebrities,
famous people, and I have never heard of them! It reminds me a lot of when you
went to school, got sick and stayed home for a day or two, returned and the
teacher starts the class where they left off, but you are lost.
Then there is Facebook.
The younger crowd has their own dialect, say things I have no idea what they
mean, and it seems all so now while I seem all so then! This is not good. I
read the newspapers every morning, I read books and am part of the social
media, it is not like I am not informed. WHO THE HECK ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHAT
DO THEY MEAN???
I decided not to get too upset about it, no, I will continue
to go my blissful way, unencumbered by extra names and things I probably don’t
care about anymore anyway. Let’s face it, nothing is so important that I would
want to mention it while trying to get it off the tip of my tongue! God knows I
do enough of it already with the people I do know.
Hey, I'm old, leave me alone.
