I sing out loud in my car

I know I know! Almost everyone does this so who cares. Well…this is a little more specific then the title leads you to believe. Like most people, I sing out loud in my car, however, I have a tendency to rock out to certain songs more then others. Define “rock out”? Let’s just say I can’t believe I haven’t wrecked my car yet. I mean I have wrecked my car, but not from rocking out…not yet anyway.

A perfect example of this situation and a song I always rock out to:
– Yesterday on the drive home from work
The song:
– Like a Prayer; by Madonna.

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name, and it feels like…

When you call my name it’s like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I’ll take you there

I hear your voice, it’s like an angel sighing
I have no choice I hear your voice
Feels like fire

I close my eyes, oh god I think I’m falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

When you call my name it’s like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I’ll take you there

Like a child, you whisper softly to me
You’re in control just like a dream
Now I’m chasing

It’s like a dream, no ending no beginning
You’re here with me, it’s like a dream

When you call my name it’s like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I’ll take you there
When you call my name it’s like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I’ll take you there

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like it used to be, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you don’t know what you see
Just like a prayer your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I’ll take you there
It’s like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I’ll take you there
It’s like a dream to me

Now this song can be the original or the club remix…it doesn’t matter. Every time this song comes on I crank the radio, clap my hands and sing my a$$ off. I love that song and I love the part with the mini-pause, then Madonna says “Let the choir sing!” There are times I am shaking my head and swaying from side to side so much you would think I was carrying an entire Baptist church choir in my backseat.

That’s my confession.

I don’t know about your local radio stations, but here they have a thing called “Confession Wednesdays”. This will now become a regular feature of The Babbling Dweeb.

I judge blogs by their title

Not that my blog is awesome, nor is it saving the world from anything…but there are a lot of blogs out there that fall short.

I enjoy quotes and I like creativity…even though mine seems to disappear at odd moments when it should thrive. However, I see your [anyone] blogs and your titles; sometimes even the descriptions draw me in. You content turns me away. There are so many AWESOME titles out there I would need a blog just to list them…seriously there is an amazing amount of creativity out there in terms of titles.

I go to book stores, I even skip covers online and I am addicted to certain marketing strategies that I fall victim to continuously. It’s awesome because I work for a marketing company and I collect(ed) ads throughout college that I liked. I still fall for good marketing and advertising. I’ll buy a book for its content, but when a choice on books arises I’ll chose on cover art. Why? I have NO idea!! Usually with those types of books there is little lost. That seems to be the opposite of the problem with blogs.

I skim the blogs with so-so titles and some have great content, but I find myself addicted to the ones with awesome titles that have terrible content or none at all. You know the blogs that haven’t been updated in weeks or months except to say “hey sorry all, I plan on writing more soon as ____ is over.” I’m not a reality show junkie, but I might be a blog junkie. I want need my content.

Then I hop online and bounce through the blogs with small lists of “blog links” and sometimes I hit up the blogs who’s authors have commented on other blogs. That’s when you find little pieces of gold hidden in the slurry.

That’s when the searching has paid off and the little blog that looks good, reads like crap, but has a link to something good…pays off. That’s where I think I fit in :)
