I read an article listing the 2008 inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Madonna topped the list. It made me think of her song "Material Girl" (Which despite my leanings toward punk, indierock and ska, I must admit is one of the finest compositions in American music. No, really.)
It really made me think about how much we are brainwashed to love stuff, things, and junk. Not to mention baubles, tzchotckees [sic], knick-knacks and thingamajigs. But I must admit- I am a Material Girl and I'm living in a Material World.
In other news, I've stopped dyeing my hair for the sake of my pocketbook. Yes ladies, its true. I have made the ultimate sacrifice and have chosen to submit to the mousey chestnut mop top I last saw sometime before I hit 13. Seriously, I was in utter disbelief as to how light my natural hair color is. I have grown tired of being incarcerated by my colorist dishing out $100 dollars per month like alimony. No more! Now if I can just avoid spending that savings when I hit the MAC boutique.
I have a phone interview with a company in Savannah, Ga. tomorrow. I'm almost drooling researching the lower cost of living paired with a hefty little raise. I have to admit, I am a little concerned with becoming the little screw in the big machine. I don't want to fall mercilessly through the cracks. I feel important where I am right now. I feel needed. Maybe that just adds to my stress though...
I'm a Material Girl...
