CHAT & OTHER CHIT VOL 3

HEY Y'ALL,
I'M BACK AGAIN. TIME FLYS WHEN YOU'RE GOING NUTS DOESN'T IT? I HAVEN'T BLOGGED IN A FEW DAYS SO I THOUGHT I'D JUMP BACK IN WITH ANOTHER EDITION OF CHAT & OTHER CHIT. I READ SOMETHING RECENTLY THAT HAS STUCK WITH ME SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE.
"SMART IS THE NEW SEXY, AWKWARD IS THE NEW COOL, FLAWED IS THE NEW BEAUTIFUL"
I SAW THIS ON A FELLOW BLOGGER'S SITE CALLED "ABOUT WHAT I SAID". THIS BLOG IS WRITTEN BY A YOUNG WOMAN WITH A DISABILITY AND IN CONTEXT ITS REALLY QUITE PROFOUND. BUT SINCE I TEND TO BE MORE PROFANE THAN PROFOUND THESE DAYS, I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF WHAT THESE THINGS WERE BEFORE THEY BECAME "THE NEW". PERSONALLY I'VE ALWAYS CONSIDERED INTELLIGENCE TO BE RATHER SEXY. TO ME AWKWARD SUGGESTS A LITTLE LACK OF CONFIDENCE BUT HEY PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT RIGHT? AND I'VE ALWAYS PREFERRED SLIGHTLY FLAWED OVER PERFECT. WHO THE HELL WANTS TO STAND NEXT TO PERFECTION? NOT I! I HAD A RULE GROWING UP THAT I NEVER WOULD DATE A BOY WHO WAS PRETTIER THAN ME. (AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT BRAD PITT DUMPED ME BEFORE PROM)
THEN I STARTED THINKING ABOUT ALL THE OTHER SAYINGS LIKE THIS SO HERE'S A FEW MORE:
"40 IS THE NEW 30" THAT'S COOL, I'LL TAKE THE TEN YEARS
BUT DOES THAT MEAN THAT 60 IS THE NEW 50? AND WHEN
DOES IT GET TO THE POINT THAT IT WON'T MATTER? 80?90?
MY NEIGHBOR JUST TURNED 100 I WONDER IF SHE THINKS
100 IS THE NEW 90?
"RED IS THE NEW BLACK" I THINK THAT MEANS YOU CAN NOW
TAKE THE BASIC BLACK IN YOUR WARDROBE AND REPLACE IT
WITH RED. (RED HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CORE COLOR FOR ME
RIGHT DOWN TO MY SHOES)
"ICY IS THE NEW HOT" THAT ONE CAME FROM A COFFEE
COMMERCIAL. (WHATEVER!)
"CHOCOLATE IS THE NEW CRACK" I REALLY HEARD THAT I HOPE ITS TRUE.
HERE'S WHAT I THINK. THERE IS ALOT TO BE SAID FOR "THE OLD". THE OLD WAS AROUND LONG BEFORE SOME DUFASS DECIDED TO COIN A PHRASE TO MAKE SOMETHING PREVIOUSLY UNPOPULAR TURN INTO SOMETHING NEW AND THEREFORE COOL AND MARKETABLE. BELIEVE IT OR NOT I DON'T NEED A MAGAZINE AD OR A TV COMMERCIAL TO TELL ME WHATS COOL. I LIKE WHAT I LIKE AND I HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN (DAMAGED AS IT IS!).
Y'ALL HANG IN THERE,
YVONNE
