A Song That Launched A Thousand Memes

The young and effervescent Carly Rae Jepsen's cute toon, "Call Me Maybe" has been causing great delight within the interwebs. This PR firm in Jersey was featured on HuffPo, and my attention was caught.



But then I found SMU's Womens' Crew Team...



Which is apparently a reply to Harvard's Baseball Team's video...




It's going a bit crazy on the YouTube...

And (yes, 'and'...and my last bit here...), my chums at Vista Print have a "business" card you can hand out.

I get a kick out of how a simple little song can inspire such a wave of creativity. Shows you another power of the internet!

So, to close this out, here's the original tune...enjoy!



(Hey, if this inspires you to craft something...leave me a note in the comments...)

Driving along in Kirkland , home of the modern yuppie, I’m passed by a new Mercedes. Lovely, silver, shiny, new, bling-bling; a part of me loaded with insecurity twinges while I purr along in my Toyota. Why? How come this is a metric of my self-esteem? Am I being unfair to myself, being upset by this train of thought and it’s influence? Consider, please, how much this viewpoint is drilled into us. Look at how often this imagery gets pushed into our faces, and how long that’s been going on. It shouldn’t surprise me, really, that I sometimes feel this way. Though my conscious values oppose this, the lingering thread of this programming has threads into the depths psyche.

Under sunlit trees  Cold air sitting in judgement  I still stop and gaze 

Pitfalls of distraction

With great ease, I get sucked into random distractions. This frustrates me no end. Actually, the worst past of the feeling isn't due to the lingering tasks. I end up feeling distracted, fragmented and worn; I hate that sensation. I love the feeling of moving forward, accomplishing goals with a direction and focus. Of course, I adore helping people, especially those I care about. The right balance, oh how I long for thee!
