Here’s a little snapshot into 2009, when the original Inarticulate Sparkle (IS) started:
-Taylor Swift released “Fearless”
-Ke$ha premiered “Tik Tok”
-The Hangover was in theaters
-Jersey Shore premiered.
-The iPhone 3Gs launched
That was a whole lifetime ago! We have had like 30 iPhones and 72 Taylor Swift Eras since then. There’s also a list of things I miss about 2009 (That I absolutely complained about in 2009).
-Waiting for a text back wasn’t a hostage situation. Facebook was mostly people you actually knew.
-Your biggest online reputation concern was an embarrassing tagged photo.
-You could leave the house and be genuinely unreachable.
– AIM was dead, but the spirit of the away message lived on in cryptic Facebook statuses.
-Nobody was trying to build a personal brand. We were all just uploading blurry digital camera pictures and hoping for 50 likes.
But anyway… that’s the past. I have experienced a lot of life since then, and I’m hoping that at least a few of you can relate to my disasters.
