music snack : set on you

Last Tuesday I asked my sweet tweets for Music Snack ideas. As always, the twitter-verse never lets you down as I haven’t been able to stop singing one of those suggestions for the past week. Thanks Shauna for getting this song stuck in my head, but you were right – it’s great for a Music Snack …..

You can bend the rules plenty once you get to the top, but not while you’re trying to get there. And if you’re someone like me, you can’t get there without bending the rules.

- Tess McGill in Working Girl

sometimes you need to bend the rules.
sometimes you need to break the rules.
and sometimes …
well, sometimes you need to make your own rules.

i came to starbucks after work to get some more work done.long story short, i’m not in that workin frame of mind.but i don’t know what i would rather do now that i’m here with an internet connection and a chai tea latte with honey.hello reslessness, nice to see you again.well, i take that back – not nice – but whatver. silly southern manners.these high school kids at the table next to me are getting on my nerves.was i that annoying in high school? yes – i’m pretty sure i was. silly girl.why do i feel like i’m thinking 100 million things right now but can’t put my finger on a single one.maybe this is why people meditate.if my cup is really made from 10% recycled paper, i hope that wasn’t toilet paper.i’m pretty sure that’s not allowed.at least i hope it’s not.something tells me there is a bonafied cougar a few tables over.maybe i should take notes.just in case.i’m having serious Apple envy at the MacBook Pro right in front of me.last time i was lusting over someone’s Apple set up i apparently made them quite uncomfortable.how exactly do you explain, without deflating a boy’s ego, that i’m sorry – i know you may think i’m eying you, but in all honestly, i just want your tech set up.it was an iPad.who doesn’t lust over an iPad.i rest my case.holy cannoli the girl on her phone behind me just shouted that 22 was old.thanks honey, put me out to pasture then.i hope you wake up with a wrinkle on your forehead. that was mean, i take that back, i shouldn’t have thought that.oh damn i bet karma’s already sending me my very own new wrinkle for that comment even though i took it back.am i too young to start preventative botox injections.i’ll look into that tomorrow.the school girl across from me – with the mom with the MacBook Pro – is studying the area of a rectangle.to everyone who told me that i had to pay attention in math class because i was going to use geometry and calculus when i got older, a wrinkle to each of you.you thought i was just being lazy but i knew way better than you on that one.BOOYA.oh damn, i need to stop wishing wrinkles on people.i’m going to look like a pug if i’m not careful.maybe i should pack up and go home and just call it a night.obviously i’m not being overly productive if i’m wishing wrinkles on people.yea, that’s it.i’ll go home now.maybe if i start reading a book my mind will stop being jumbled.you have to focus when reading a book.right.right.my laptop battery is about to give out anyways.if only i had an iPad. lusting again.tech envy.time to go.look, a pretty picture!

.because sometimes my mind takes off like this. no,it’s not ADD, it’s life.
