Question of the day: Music

NaBloPoMo:  Day 12

Question:  What was your favorite song this year?  Five years ago?  Ten years ago?  Twenty?

I love music, so I had a very hard time choosing just one favorite.  Favorite song of 2010 has been 'Use Somebody' by Kings of Leon.  I never get tired of hearing it :)





Five years ago it was (don't laugh) 'Drop It Like It's Hot' by Snoop Dogg.  I don't know what got into me because I do not and have never liked rap music.





Ten years ago it was 'Bye Bye Bye' by *NSYNC.  I LOVED that song.  I was a little late in discovering NSYNC's music but once I did, I was hooked.  Their 'No Strings Attached' tour was my first concert ever and I remember it like it was last week.  I had a blast!  I can't believe that was ten years ago...jeez, I'm getting old.





Twenty years ago...I was nine and my favorite song was 'Tonight' by New Kids On The Block'.  I can still vividly remember being at a rollerskating rink on a school field trip.  As I was skating, this song was playing and I remember being so happy.




I just went on a fun trip down memory lane :)  If you want to participate, feel free to copy the question and post your answers on your blog.  I'd love to see some of your favorites!  And, just for good measure, here is the song that tied as my favorite for this year:

'Chasing Pirates' by Norah Jones

Friday 5

Friday 5 for September 17: Nagging


What kinds of nagging injuries do you have?  No injuries really.  Just a nagging round of bronchitis that I hope is coming to and end soon.

What long-procrastinated task is nagging at you lately?  Reading a book that I purchased a year and a half ago.  It looks like a really good book and I've been meaning to start reading it forever now....

In what way have you been a nag to someone else?  I find that when I call a company and have to deal with their customer service reps to get something done, it usually takes numerous calls to actually have the issue taken care of.  I always feel like if I don't follow up on it, it won't get done...and most times that is the case.  So, I guess to the customer service people I speak with, after the fifth call about the same issue I may seem like a nag to them  ;)

Who in your life is a world-class nag?  My grandmother.  I won't elaborate... ha!

Nag is such an ugly word. What would be a nicer way to describe someone who exhibits nagging tendencies?  Persistent  :)

Ten on Tuesday

Tuesday Ten

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I ventured out in the downpouring rain on Saturday to get my hair highlighted, then headed home and spent the rest of the weekend indoors. With having all that time on my hands I put some thought into what I want to do with this website. I have come up with a few ideas, one of which I am beginning today.

Every Tuesday I will be posting the 'Tuesday Ten'. I'll post a topic or question and then the ten answers that I came up with for that topic. The question will be related to photography or another fun topic. I invite you all to participate by leaving your own answers in the comments section. You can also re-post the Tuesday Ten on your own blog and leave a link here so I can check out your answers :) Here goes week #1 of the Tuesday Ten!
