Do you recall the story of Babylon?\u00a0 You know the time God dispersed mankind into different parts of the world with different languages, so that we could not communicate.\u00a0 Do you ever fear that has happened again?<\/p>\n
First let me say I am an old fart.\u00a0 Almost 57, purely anthropology material.\u00a0 I find myself struggling to keep up with the world of communication.\u00a0 Case in point, some one stated the other day in a post on Facebook,<\/p>\n
“How cray cray is that?”<\/p>\n
In my world of experience, a Cray is a supercomputer, so when referenced twice this is\u00a0 a very powerful supercomputer – to the second power, as Cray2.\u00a0 Now that is cool.<\/p>\n
I was wrong, it means “Crazy”, they just drop off the “z” to create a whole new word.\u00a0 That’s just plain “nut”, I purposely left off the “s” so I could fit into the cool crowd.\u00a0 It didn’t work, someone posted back, “You cray cray old fart.” Sigh…<\/p>\n
You see what I mean?\u00a0 It was bad enough to try to survive the valley girl days of the 80’s and Disco lingo of the 70’s.\u00a0 Now I have three decades of hip hop billy bob country western pop to catch up on. How Cray is that?<\/p>\n
We have country people turning pop, pop turning country, hip hop remaining hip hop, bop doing hip bop, and old farts doing the hip socket replacement bop.\u00a0 STOP – STOP – STOP!!!<\/p>\n
Every day I read of an actor or singer of my generation who has passed and it makes me melancholy to some extent, that’s because I understood them.When Marvin Gaye sang, “Let’s get it on”, there was no deciphering of the language.\u00a0 It meant what everyone thought what it meant.\u00a0 Nowadays you get lyrics like this,<\/p>\n
“Let’s get cray cray with your bedazzled vjayjay.”<\/p>\n
I had to ask my wife what in the creation of the universe was a a vjayjay.\u00a0 She explained it to me.\u00a0 I was dumbfounded, babble on is back in black.\u00a0 I suppose this is code so that parents can’t filter teens music.\u00a0 Luckily I am an anthropology specimen who no longer has to worry about teen code.\u00a0 My son and daughter thought they were masters with “Myspace” to keep me in the dark. It didn’t work however, how cray cray is that?\u00a0 Hey, I’m getting the hang of this.\u00a0 Now they are adults with children, and they have to figure out what the next babble on code will be.<\/p>\n
I miss the simple days, with only a few television stations of wholesome programming that didn’t require a Phd in HipHopstery to understand or taking sides over which was the dominant movie of the week like Stars Wars vs Avatar.\u00a0 Talk about cray cray.<\/p>\n
So, to leave you with something of importance I have decided to provide one of my trademarked sing alongs to brighten your day, sung to the tune of Beverly Hillbillies:<\/p>\n
Well let me tell you about a story of man named Ed,
\nA poor old fart who couldn’t keep trends in his head,
\nbut then one day when blogging with some fools,
\nHe went cray cray trying to understand this drool.<\/p>\n
Babble on, culture shock, sheeple rule<\/p>\n
Well the first thing you know, people told him to get out of there
\nThe babble on crowd are probably blogging in their underwear.
\nSaid, Kauai is the place you need to be,
\nSo he loaded up his family and moved to Lihue.<\/p>\n
Beaches, forests, all Kardashian free.<\/p>\n
Well now it’s time to say adios to Ed and all his kind,
\nI’d like to remind you, you all have lost your mind,
\nYou’re not invited to\u00a0 this locality,
\nCuz I don’t need your cray cray mentality.
\nYo post a comment now, yo yo hear!<\/p>\n
