HELLLOOOOOO Signs of the Times: Underground! What is up? No
for real, what is up? I have decided that as part of my posts I want to start a
dialogue between you, the readers, other readers and me. So to get things
started I will introduce myself. Hello (again J)
my name is Crystal Nichols and I have been asked by the amazing and talented
Aaron to be a part of this awesome and totally fantastic endeavor! I am so
excited and can’t wait to get started. A
little backstory, I wrote the most incredible and inspired blog of my life, but
my computer decided it would be fun to crash before I could post it. Alas, I
had to rewrite it and that is what I am now posting. Maybe someday I will be
inspired again and write the perfect post, but for now enjoy. I just wanted to
get the ball rolling and post a little sumthin, sumthin.J So without further ado, a little bit about me
and then I would like to get know you all because I am all about getting to
know people and that starts with communication which of course is a two-way
street, right? Right. Plus I work in the world of communication so I find it
fascinating, communicating that is.
I currently work for a company called
Simmons Media Group, they own 5 radio stations and some days I absolute love my
job other days I totally want to leave. Just like any other job. I am obsessed
with music, learning, culture, people and just life in general! I actually
wanted to start by focusing on music for a moment. Music is my escape from the world,
it is a place where I can leave every problem behind and just get lost in the
moment. It moves me and makes feel inspired, happy, sad, or just plain excited!
Though I do love lyrics, there are times that I just love a good tune I can
groove to; especially anything I can Zumba to. J
I am open to listen to and learn about any new kind of music that anybody would
like to throw at me, so do share. I am also an avid social media user; though I
use it more to learn about what is going on in the world or how my friends are
doing then really posting much. I am all about enjoying moments and sometimes
that is a little difficult when you are always tied to a phone or camera and
constantly posting on social media outlets. However it is fun to have those
memories forever reserved, so it is a two way street.
I like learning about the different media
outlets and how they are every changing. From My Space to Facebook, Instagram
to vine, and of course the never-ending thoughts of millions of people,
Twitter. Call me old fashioned but I would rather not know what everyone is
thinking ALL of the time, but it can be quit entertaining. J
Plus I am an avid fan of Face-to-face time, like literally person-to-person,
there is nothing like it. As you have probably gathered by now my main focuses,
will most likely be social media and music. The ever-changing world fascinates
me and I can’t wait to hear from you and what you think. Like what are your
thoughts on Vine vs Instagram? What kind of music do like? What inspires you?
What can we learn from one another? You know, the basics. Oh and also how does
everybody like the new Facebook layout, for the 50th time? Speaking of social media maybe I will leave
links so you can follow me…or not J
until next time “Live life to the fullest, enjoy every moment and every
experience!”
