Word of the Day...it's HUGE!

- My word of the day this morning was Brobdingnagian! (And yes, I am that geek who gets Merriam Webster's word of the day in my inbox every day in an effort to expand my vocabulary!) What a useful word. It means marked by tremendous size. Who needs to use huge, or immense, or any other such word to imply the grandeous nature of an object when Brobdingnagian is in your short list of relevant terms? I'm a big fan!

- In other news, I'm realizing that life in the big (or Brobdingnagian) city is...different-for lack of a kinder word. I was getting on the subway this morning-the 4/5 Uptown-with a great number of others, and this poor guy was merely trying to get off the train seconds after the door opened while everyone in the station was pushing him back onto the train. In the end, his girlfriend (or whoever she was) had to push through the crowd, grab his arm, and pull him off the train. I was trying to get out of his way, but the people behind me were pushing and shoving me onto the train. It was completely rude, and all the while we're standing on the words so kindly painted on the platform "Stand Aside". The whole situation reminded me of how selfish, singularly focused and inconsiderate people in this city can be, and encouraged me to try hard not to fall prey to the same impertinent behavior.

Stable Theory??

- So I heard about this theory today, the "stable horse" theory. A guy I know described it something like this: A guy has a bunch of girls who he's seeing, like a jockey with a stable full of horses. The guy should take each horse out for a little exercise every once in a while, but only often enough so that she doesn't get bored or start wondering where he's been. What is that?? Who has theories like these. Like that crap really works? I mean, I guess there are females out there who would be blind enough not to notice that the guy they've been dating is mysteriously vague about his whereabouts when he's not with her. But are we, females, to be treated as horses, taken out only periodically, serving the sole purpose of satisfying our jockey?? I think not.

- On an unrelated note, it's only Wednesday, but it totally feels like Thursday. Two more days of work until the weekend comes to rescue us all. The bright side - this weekend promises to be good. Birthday party on Friday, John Legend in Central Park on Saturday, relaxation on Sunday. I cannot wait!

BLoG aLL aBouT iT DeBuTS!

- Welcome to the inaugural edition of BLoG aLL aBouT iT. I figured it was time to jump on the blog train, since "everybodys doing it". So what better topic to start my blog with than blogs! They are permeating the web with topics covering politics, nonsense, daily activities, sports, and more. Even advertising is waging war in the blog mediascape. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that particular venue for advertising yet, but hey, what medium has advertising not got its hands on?? It seems that blogs are the way the next generation is going to express its opinions in a mass forum. You see bloggers on CNN, awards for the best blog, church blogs, and intra-office blogs. Blogs that cover serious topics, and those that cover the everyday goings on of friends. My hope if that my blog covers some of those topics and more. I'm not here to make a statement on anything in particular (and if that changes, believe you me, you'll know) just to put my opinions out there. If you have opinions you'd like to share or an idea/topic you want me to ruminate over, feel free to leave me a comment!
