Besides the failing eyesight and extra pounds gained while parked in front of a computer screen, a job in online media leaves you with a few extra burdens...
[ one ] many drunken weeknights with coworkers, colleagues, enemies and friends all in the name of networking.
[ two ] internet sleuthing skills that rival a wild animal hunting its dinner.
[ three ] useless knowledge about breaking news on TMZ or Brooklyn Vegan rather than actual, important current events.
[ four ] a love for pop music coupled with the embarrassing 'you know better' disappointment in the pit of your soul.
[ five ] knowing which viral video you should've seen 5 months before they show it on Good Morning America and your mom asks you to find it for her on a site called 'youtwo.'
[ six ] the band of the moment that will be the 'next big thing' but in all reality will either play their next show at webster hall or roseland ballroom for no foreseen reason OR, as it usually occurs, fizzle after a few months.
[ seven ] very 'connected' friends. folks who know more than you do about ALL of the above leaving you feeling worthless when you send them a link that 'like 5 people have already sent' them.
[ eight ] a desire to share your ridiculous knowledge.
[ nine ] working too many hours and therefore lacking the tenacity, time or motivation to write a "real" blog.
[ ten ] outlandish ideas like starting a blog where you have no pressure to write on a regular basis and can viably post while drinking since, let's be honest, that's when the best posts are written.
So with that Tequila Talking was born. Expect us not to post regularly, post while tipsy, an occasional admission of loving the newest Top 40 song, how we're already over X blog band, a play-by-play of a meaningless heated drunken debate and [of course] cute animal pictures. Especially LOLcats. And if we don't make sense... it's the tequila talking.
[thx.]
