The Seeking Daddy Project Day 47: An old meme?

I just watched "Pitch Perfect" for the first time a few weeks ago when my good friend Kayla was visiting. It was cute, but one part stood out to me - Anna Kendrick's little song and cup percussion combination when she was auditioning.

I may have spent an hour or so watching Anna Kendrick perform the "Cups" song and singing that lovely little lyrical bit in the wee hours of the morning last night, and I may have made it my new mission in life to learn how to do it, too.

Here's the full (studio) version, if you haven't seen it:

When Tate came to visit me today, I told him about my plan excitedly.  Apparently, though, I'm a bit late to the party, because he said dismissively, "Oh, that's an old meme now."

I have to say, I was a little crushed.

I kept thinking about that summation this evening as I was getting ready for bed. An old meme. What makes it old?  For that matter, what makes it a meme?  To be honest, oftentimes at this stage in my life, I feel like an old meme.  I've been there, done that.  I've seen it all before.  It's not my first time at the rodeo.

But you know what?  This is my first time seeing this little song and I think it's precious and whimsical and I want to learn it. It's not an old meme to me.

And so, from one "old meme" to another - it sure would be prettier with you.

The Seeking Daddy Project Day 46: Stagnation.

Well, I failed.

The last few weeks of March were rough, busy at work, some life things getting in the way, and I got behind on my posts. Then I got more behind, and before I knew it more than a week had gone by and I failed.

I'm sorry.

It'll probably happen again.  And I'm sorry for that, too.

To be honest, I'm kind of floundering. Stalling. Stagnating.  I'm not moving forward. I wouldn't say I'm moving backwards, per se, but if you're not moving forward are you really doing anything?

Probably not.  Isn't there a famous quote about that somewhere?

So, in summary, I'd ask for prayers. If any of you out there reading this have experienced this kind of stagnation - this kind where you just want to sit still and be, but aren't really doing anything except existing in that stillness - and would like to share that story with me, I'd be glad to hear it.

This is the strangest season I've ever been in, because I'm not quite sure what to do.

I think I know, but then I think maybe I don't.

I remember when I thought I knew so many times before, and I was wrong.

So all I can say is...I'm still here.

And that's pretty much all I have for today.
