Campaign to Revise "Traditional" Anniversary Gifts: A Manifesto by Snarky Amber

Hi folks! So, I have this wedding anniversary coming up in the next week, which has placed a proverbial bee directly between my proverbial bonnet and my literal head. While I'm not really one for traditions, per se, I am a traditionalist when it comes to the traditions where people give me consumer goods in packages that are wrapped in shiny paper. So, in considering what I'd like to unwrap for this, my second anniversary, I consulted the annals of history for traditional anniversary gifts. And my conclusion was this:

Man, these anniversary gifts need an update. Pronto. My slang also needs an update, but we'll work on that some other time.

Ronik, Formerly Ronnie, Wood Scoffs At The Possible

About a month ago I wrote an article about Fred Durst. The reason being that as I searched for pop culture fodder to write about, I encountered two articles about Fred Durst and interpreted this as evidence of divine guidance. I can't just choose something to write about. It has to come get me. So this week I discovered two articles about The Rolling Stones guitarist, Ronnie Wood, and I knew that mysterious forces were beckoning me to speak about Ronnie Wood. It's like an oracle or something. Plus his last name is "Wood", which, depending on your maturity level, is funny in and of itself. Wood. I'm looking forward to writing an article in which I write "Wood" over and over. Wood.

I realize that I have been writing about the process of selecting what I intend to write about without providing any substance about what I'm writing about. I'd like to present this self-conscious article writing as an example of MamaPop's commitment to cutting edge postmodern pop culture reporting, but I grade a lot of essays. It's pretty much just a bunch of filler.

But after the jump I will juxtapose two pieces of news about Ronnie Wood with the hopes of creating a kind of Ronnie Wood news collage. In so doing, I hope to pioneer new methods of making meaning out of Ronnie Wood news and, through that process, redefine what and how Ronnie Wood means to us.

Wood.
