Shazzam: A word used to express pride in the successful completion of something magical. Can also be used to celebrate general achievement & completion of tasks. When split in to two syllables, SHA and ZZAM, it denotes something that is undeniably funny, an expression used when something unusual or unbelievable occurs. A word of empowerment. The incantation used by the comic-strip hero Captain Marvel as it was the source of his power. Shazzam bitches!
Hey, friends, lovers, mothers, and other strangers. You’re never going to believe what happened to me. Oh, my gosh! Did you see that? I almost did the half nelson. I almost bruised my delicates, my delicates, my domo arigato Mr. Tomatoes. Huge news! I have met— Are you ready for this? Mr. Right. Well, Mr. Right-Now, anyway. Ba-da-bum! Good night, folks, I’m here all week. Jack 2000! He works over at the Jumpin’ Java. You know that coffee shop on 72nd? And his name is Paul. He is cute with a capital “Q”! And the busier it gets, the hotter he gets. And the hotter he gets, the sweatier he gets. And the sweatier he gets— I forgot where I’m going with this, but the point is… Me likey he, and he likey me. And the best part is— SHAZZAM!— he gives me free iced coffee every time I go in, which is every hour on the hour. Thank you very much! And occasionally on the half hour! Bah-da-da-da-da! Blblblbt!
Can you tell I post a lot?! Technically, it’s 504 with this post in particular. I sorta jumped the gun with the World Cup madness. But looking back, my first post on Tumblr was 4 months ago. And it was on Róisín Murphy debuting her “Demon Lover” track @ the Victor & Rolf S/S 2010 fashion show. Wow! We’ve come a long way baby! Thank you to my fellow shazzamities who make it so much fun to post on here. Thanks for checking me out and for giving me the chance to shazzam it along with the best of them!
Also a special thank you to my dearest Conchy who insisted, more like demanded, I get a blog, to Liz SVG who first suggested I join the world of blogging after reading my comments on the Golden Globe red carpet special more than a year ago, to Jamie who finally convinced me to do it and to the countless peeps who were tired of me posting my shazzamity on FB and just said enough is enough: GET A BLOG ALREADY! I love you all my shazzamities! ♥
As for you all, keep punching that pigeon! Hahaha! Shazzam it bitches!
Shazzamity in a nut shell. Pigeon posts are often found here. It's a love/hate thing. As well your typical commentary on the contributions our society makes to music, fashion, film, and television. It's pomp and circumstance, y'all! The shazzamity starts here. I'll even punch that pigeon in the face if I have to. (Please note: No actual pigeons were harmed in the making of this blog.)
