Nothing compares to an Old Fashioned, Old School Coca Cola and milk bottle...
I'm not a big soda drinker, but drinking soda out of a bottle always seems to taste just a tad better. Love these bottles... The look and everything about them. So cool and nostalgic. Although their still floating around out there, I really wish they would bring them back (whoever they is) altogether and wipe out all those damn plastic, cartons and cans! Wouldn't that be so cool? I say, bring back the Milkman!

A little Old School (hence the record player in the video) with one of my favorite songs.. "I Like What Your Doing To Me" by Young & Company. This song and music beats any song by the Black Eyed Peas!

Photo Booths & Polaroids VS Selfies...
I will take a picture in a Photo Booth and with a Polaroid anyday and anywhere over a stupid goofy "Selfie"... I really miss those Old School times and things. They were so humbling and kept people humble, well at least most people.
Everytime I go on a Boardwalk, I have to make it a point to run like the Road Runner to a Photo Booth, no matter who I am with. I'm truly a BIG kid at heart. I dragggg the other person right along with me. Haha usually I'm not dragging them too much because normally (and hopefully) the company I'm with enjoys being a kid at heart as much as me, well that's if their literally not a kid. LOL.. If thats the case then their dragging me.
As far as the whole "Selfie" thing goes.... I even caved in and surrendered to a few Selfies myself for the very first time last year (2013). And I have to admit, I felt very goofy doing it. I felt like Lucille Ball! It is kind of goofy in a sense when u think about it to take pictures of yourself, dont you think??? The first few were so awkward I did not even know how or where to hold the camera phone. When my friends saw the first few they all had the same thing to say: " "Your hiding part of your face" , and "It looks like you took a picture of the phone instead of yourself". Well lets put it this way, I may have taken a few more after those but that was it for me... The rest is history. No more Selfies for me! Can we say amateur!?... Well that was me and my Selfie experience.
I often wonder though... Are Selfies so popular today because we are able to take pictures of ourselves now unlike before? OR, is it because people are more alone now or spend more time alone or are lonely? Is it because people socialize less in person, face to face and socialize more on the phone and internet? Is this easier for some people?... I suppose it is in some aspects easier for some people. OR, is it just plain and simple that we all have the damn cellphones glued to our hip and its that easy to snap away!? I know its become just another way of communicating today on the go and even not on the go... But I still believe it's a mix of all of the above why the world is SO inundated with Selfies... Click Click!

WE LIVE IN A WORLD...
We live in a world so saturated by Reality Shows, Twerking, Botox, Cell Phones, Facelifts, Hastags, Computerized Voices, Fake/Enhanced Lips, Tweeting and the list goes on....Oh my God it's everywhere I go and turn, I can't get away from it! I can't take it! What happened to this world guys? It's all just too too much. It's overwhelming. I want to run to the moon sometimes! HELPPP!... Hey but I just realized, without the internet, even the Martians wouldn't be able to read my blog. Haha okay so we will keep the internet then. But the second they start cell phones on the moon is the day I throw in the towel or blow up the universe. LOL!
Great Old School picture... However, what is wrong with this picture?... The one thing I find a little disturbing about it is this:
He looks all sexy, young, dapper and debonair... She on the other hand does not, at all. She appears alot older than him, kind of in a motherly way, to put it nicely - Very matronly. She does not look as young, attractive or as sexy as him. Do you agree? This is probably the only thing that I dislike and bothers me about those times - The men tended to look younger, more attractive and sexier. Not all of the time but most of the time...
When I say Old School is the best school, jeez I certainly do not mean in this aspect. A woman should always look sexy but still classy. In my fashion opinion, there's a significant difference between dressing "older" as opposed to dressing like an elderly woman, or a woman of the Sisterhood, aka, Nun...
Three men viewed this picture and these were their comments:
"If she had long hair and wore it down, that would make the world of difference".
"Something as simple as taking those shoes off and putting a pair of stilettos on would make her look a little sexy, period".
"Just take that hat off, hair down and put on a pair of high shoes on".

Just another thought from me...
Do people change because the times change?... Or, do people simply change? Do people have an influence on the times changing? Which came/comes first? I suppose its a combination of both and it also depends on the type of change. I understand and get we all (including myself) have to change with the times, naturally, to a certain extent. I guess its just one of those things, "if you can't beat them, join them"... Right? I know many people who grew up exactly like I have, who are now so into the whole social media thing, the newest and latest technology, texting instead of talking or calling, etc, etc, etc.. Some people have totally transformed themselves. It's crazy! I just cant seem to transform myself that much. And the little that I have is just enough for me...
What characterizes you as Old School? What are your strongest Old School, Old Fashioned qualities, beliefs, etc?
I am probably the most Old School when it comes down to how I met/meet men, dating and relationships. Call me Old Fashioned, but I believe a man should always make the first move (so to speak), when he initially meets a girl for the very first time. So, to the younger female generation out there, this is for you ▶ Let a guy come up to you, let him buy you a drink, let him show an interest in you, and most of all, let him ask for your number, so he can be the one to call you the first time. And if he does not do any of the above, then drop him like a hot potato! Very simple. This approach and way of thinking always worked for me, well most of the time anyway. LOL... So it should work for you too! Haha well that's my little Dear Abby old school advice.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday To All You Football Lovers Like Myself... May The Best Team Win!
Just a little Old School football talk (and maybe a little venting too): 1. They need to incorporate more Old School entertainment in the Half Time show. Although, that Bruno Mars threw a little old school twist in his appearance this evening... Now that I liked!
2. Years ago, the old time football players had to earn and work for the money they made. Today, well its just handed to them. - They make millions right out of the gate! I have always felt very passionate about this topic. I've had many conversations about it over the years... Haha some of them even a little heated at times, especially with a boyfriend. I just think most athletes are way over paid today, period. Theres no value of money today as there was years ago especially in certain sports. There is something very wrong about it. Its just not right or ethical to me especially when this country has so many people underpaid. Well, that's it for my little tangit.. I will leave it on that note. TOUCHDOWN!

Oh my God people put the phones down!...
This is the social world we live in now... These pics speak volumes! Funny yes, but kind of sad I think. We are out of control! This is not how we socialized or interacted in the Old School days. We really need to put the damn phones down and start looking up again!... Especially when we are in the company of someone else... And especially when we are walking and driving. Its ridulous now. I actually had someone bump into me when I was walking the other day because they were looking down at their phone. I kid you not guys! I am guilty myself of somethings with my phone. HOWEVER, two things I do not do are: Text and drive, and talk/text in the company of someone else. One is not safe and the other is just rude. I really try to put my phone away when I am with someone, no matter who it is, where we are or what we are doing. I don't care for when people do it, so I don't do it. Of course there is a few exceptions to the rule - If you have children, an emergency and are a Doctor on call... Oh, and if your in love, your excused. LOL! We all know everything goes out the window when were in love. Sometimes there are no rules or etiquette when that love bug gets us. Right? In regards to texting and driving, that is just a NO NO. I spend a lot of time on the road, therefore I am more inclined to be on the phone a lot as well. But I have learned to pull over and text, or wait that extra minute until I am at a red light or stuck in traffic. So phones down and eyes up everyone!

The Rat Pack, boozing, class, smoking and suits... The epitome of Old School men and entertainment. They did everything that wasn't good for them but they certainly looked good doing it. I wish I grew up in those times. One thing I do appreciate and admire about that era, was people, both men & woman always were dressed or got "dressed up". Fast forward 50 yrs, now of days people go to shows, casinos or sometimes even nice dinner in flip flops, jeans, tee shirts or sneakers. But I'm still ok with the era I grew up in. Hey it may not be as Old School as it was then but it still was Old School to me. Back then, flip flops were only worn on the beach.
I WANTED TO SHARE THIS GREAT, INTERESTING AND MEANINGFUL ARTICLE I JUST READ...

Old School, Old Fashioned Custard Icecream Cone
Well at least we still have the traditional custard icecream cone!... They can never take it away! I love to have one of these on occasion. They are so nostalgic and comforting. And if it ever goes away, I will throw in the towel and give up on this non-traditonal society. Thank goodness there is people in this world that still have some sense to produce it and sell it... And thank goodness for the people out there that still like to eat them, like myself. I suppose it comes down to supply and demand. - As long as people will buy it, then people will contine to sell/ make it. So lets keep the Old School tradition going!

The pros and cons of modern vs old school - Hmmm... I do not know what is worse or more frustrating: When my cellphone is not working, or back when there was pay phones and you did not have enough money to continue the call.
I will take the stress of the pay phones back anyday, anytime! The entire phone technology back then was so much easier ( maybe not as efficient as today), but certainly easier, simple, more real, wholesome, less obligatory, more personable, and less intrusive. It kept people more honest. We actually had to go out of our way to make a call back then. And there is something real and special about that. Todays technology makes people lazier. It changed the entire dynamics of relationships, business, dating, communicating, news, commuting, the list is endless. It basically changed every aspect of life.
WE NEED TO DELETE THE DELETE BUTTON FOREVER!... THE DELETE BUTTON WAS NOT DESIGNED TO DELETE PEOPLE, IT WAS MEANT TO DELETE WORDS. SO, PLEASE PUT THE PHONES DOWN PEOPLE, TAKE YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE COMPUTER ONCE IN AWHILE ( HAHA EXCEPT IF YOUR READING MY BLOG. LOL) ,AND JUST TALK TO ONE ANOTHER. LETS GET BACK TO THE BASICS OF LIFE, THE REALNESS OF LIFE AND THE OLD SCHOOL WAY OF DOING THINGS...
I'll admit it, I deleted 2 people since this whole computer, cellphone and internet age. Yes it was warranted, but I felt so bad doing it. Eventually, I ended up undeleting them. It just didnt feel right or normal to me to just delete someone like that without even speaking to them first. I guess you can say I had a few moments of a very non Old School way of doing something. I surrendered to the easy and abrupt way of not wanting to talk to someone anymore. Deleting, blocking and all that nonsense is not the way I grew up or was raised. We didn't delete people back then. We actually had to TALK to people whether we wanted to or not - We had no choice or options. Today, there is a hodgepodge of options, and people are using them in the wrong manner and abusing them. Back then, the bottom line was: We still had to talk to the person. Even if it meant confronting the person, being honest with the person, fighting with the person, or telling the person you did not want to talk to them. So when did people become so disposable to a press of a button? Its actually kind of a brutal and callous way of treating people today. I constantly hear people saying that they deleted someone, as if its nothing. I just listen and look at them and shake my head. If your not a child, teenager or in your 20' s then you shouldn' t be deleting anyone. The younger generation has an excuse, they grew up in all this technolgy madness. It's their way of communicating. Its all they know, they do not know any better. What kind of example are we showing our children, nieces, and nephews if we are doing it ourselves? Are we indirectly telling them its ok to delete someone as opposed to communicating, talking and being honest with a person? As grown adults that did not grow up in this day and age, we should know better. If you are 40 yrs old and didn't delete someone 20 yrs ago, why would you do it now? Is it because its an easier way to simply choose not to talk to someone? Old school means talking to people, communicating properly with one another, treating people with respect and like human beings. We seem too forget through all this technologly that we are all human beings behind the mask of technology. People that are truly Old School do not go around deleting people., they talk to people. No matter what the situation may be, no matter what someone does to you, no matter how angry, hurt or mad you are, just talk to the person, tell the person... Its very simple, its very honest and its very Old School. Remember, Old School id the best school!
