Something new everyday

I wake up every morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down at my computer. I don't get the newspaper anymore, for reasons I won't get into today, so, I have to keep up with current events in some way and that's where the Internet comes in. 


I prefer the Internet over television, except for the Weather. The Weather Channel gives me a tiny dose of drama, especially during hurricane season and that's how I like my drama, these days, in small little doses. 


When did the Weather channel get started anyway? Does anybody know? One day there was a channel devoted just to the weather, and you didn't have to wait for the 6 o'clock news to hear a hurricane was coming. Remembering stuff like this makes me feel old sometimes! I mean when I was growing up we only had cartoons on TV on Saturday mornings. Nowadays, there are so many cartoon channels it isn't even funny.


Anyhow, after reading the news I'll go to Facebook and see if anything cool is happening there. Today, I watched a couple of music videos that people had posted.  I really liked this one song called: In the city by a group called Chromatics, and the video for another song, Hands in the dark, was interesting and had vignettes of people and their drama. 


Another music video was called: Got your back by T.I. Feat.Keri Hilson. This songs lyrics said something about gotta keep my swag up. I know I worry about my swag saggin, but I wasn't sure what else swag meant, so I pulled out my Brand new Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. I had to get a new dictionary because my old one was so old, it didn't even have 'Internet' listed in it. That's pretty old, wouldn't you say? 


See if you can tell which one of the following is a definition of swag.


1.  Something as a decoration that is hanging in a curve between two points, a festoon. Rehang those curtains so the swag don't sag so much.
2.  A suspended cluster of evergreen branches. A Christmas swag smells so good.
3.  Goods acquired by unlawful means. The hag hid her swag in her cauldron.
4.  A depression in the earth. Look out for that swag, you might take a trip next fall.
5.  A pack of personal belongings. Her swag was so immense she really needed a suitcase.
6.  To sway, lurch, sag or droop. This right here is my pretty boy swag.


Did you guess which one? Do you give up?!   They are all definitions of swag! That's what I learned today. How about you? Anything new?
