So here I sit, minding my own business, trying to look busy at work and then...
"Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City. I'm a thousand miles away..." I am sure you know the song. The radio killed it over the past 6 months so that now I just roll my eyes when I hear it.
The humor here is the owner of the phone with this ringtone...maybe 40-45 ish...desperately trying to look cool by knowing the Plain White T's. If only he knew...
Of course, I am not really one to give pointers on how to look cool. I find I rarely know the newest bands, groups, singers...whatever the kids are calling them these days. I don't watch the garbage on MTV or VHI...frankly, I don't know how people sit through it. Maybe for the same reasons my hubby can still be found watching a Springer episode...it's all about the trainwreck. And I definitely don't have the latest rage in clothes or accessories.
I must confess I did download The Office theme song as my ringtone a while back. Then I traded phones with my hubby so now it is his ringtone. I just have the regular old, sounds like a phone ringtone. How boring am I? It just seems so hard to commit to a song.
I don't want some young kid in my office make fun of me on his blog because my ringtone isn't cool. Come to think of it...is saying "cool" even cool anymore.....
I feel old.

I gave up on ringtone coolness a long time ago. I have that "jungle sounds" ringtone that sounds like Tarzan calling Jane. It gets laughs - but it's intentional!
I feel cooler than I did a few years ago. I think having an ever-changing hormone level, walking around in public wearing your newborn in a Snugli, pushing a stroller covered in baby chew toys, constantly being covered in baby dampness and having a certain percentage of your house always smelling like baby poo kills the coolness factor. But don't worry! It gets better! I have cool jeans again and I have time to read the bestsellers now that I have put down "What to Expect the First Year". Now that Abby is no longer interested in Laurie Berkner, I'm paying attention to new music again and some of it I really like. Joy's gettin' her groove back and you will too! Hang in there!
BTW - didn't we see Waiting To Exhale together? How weird!
I am totally into ring tones! I guess when you are pregnant and have three kids already it is your last hope for coolness since the cool jeans are out well make that all the cool clothes! I have different ringtones for different people~more about the songs they like than me but I can always tell who is calling. Maybe I should do a post on...what would be your ringtone??
