A Day Off
Sung to the tune of the theme-song of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Yo, this is my story all about how, my life got flipped, turned upside down.
I’m gonna take a minute, just stay in your seat, I’ll tell you how I survived a day without having to tweet.
On social media I’ve come to depend, whoever you are, I want to make you my friend
Checking my email and all the blog stats, then switching to twitter, I wear so many hats.
I have friends, I have followers, rss blogs, I’ve even been followed by somebody’s dogs,
I got so caught up in this crazy old world I decided to take a break, spend some time with my girls.
I closed down my tweetdeck and wrote no more posts, I knew it was twitter that I’d miss the most.
Going cold turkey is the only way. Just do it and see if you can last the whole day!
36 hours I went with no blogs and no tweets and I found there were people in the real world to meet.
I’m going to go now, and get back out there, to show this lost world that Jesus does care!
Very nice. I do think you should post a video of you performing it…just sayin’. 🙂
Yeah, the English white boy doing a Will Smith rap REALLY doesn’t work!
I think Jason has a good idea there….
Unless I am moved to share something I learned at Church, I have sworn off the internet (I don’t have any devices, so I only tweet online) on Sundays. A while back I gave up Wednesdays, too, but then spent too much time on line Thurs…..
Maybe I’ll try limited Wed to an hour instead….
I’m thinking I might do the same every Sunday too… Wednesdays…. now that would be pushing it!
I rapped it for you on this end. Trust me, it was awesome.
I’d love to hear that!
You should record it so we can all hear what it sounds like!
It pretty much sounded like the original. I’m that good.
I’m just going to go ahead and LOL!
When I’m away, I really don’t miss it. The catching up is painful, however. But then once I’ve caught up it’s like “so what?” It helps to have someone recap in 140 characters or less – Helen did a great job today!
And your Fresh Prince theme totally took me back to some wonderful memories. I just never had any rhythm, but I can see my boys doing that song as soon as the show came on.
I STILL love watching that show. I wish they made stuff that clean and funny these days!
I can relate…between FB, blogging and regular emails..it eats up a lot of time.
Liked the post! 🙂
Thanks Janice!
That. Was. Awesome!
Good thing I haven’t gotten hooked on that addiction yet, though I have an account. I have a hard enough time updating my FB.
Thanks Frank. I appreciate you.
I like Helen’s idea. I’m going to swear off Sundays on the internet–email only for now. We’ll see how it goes.
Anne, I’ll email you on Sunday to see how it’s going! 🙂
Why am I picturing you with a sideways baseball cap, baggy shorts and a giant clock hanging around your neck?
Yeah…that’s gone a take a few days to get out of my head.
Nice rap, P. Diddy.
How did you know how I normally dress? Are you stalking me?
loved it. 😉
Nice. 🙂
