In the era of TikTok videos, the “Get Ready With Me” theme is apparently a hit. Viewers can see what it takes to get someone prepared for a meeting, dressed for a special occasion, etc… A person may garner thousands of viewers and even earn money should they be seen as influencers.
I’m thinking of making a video. We would begin with the camera at my back, watching as I trudge down the driveway to see if the carrier did his job. The next frame would feature a cup of coffee and an old-fashioned print media item called a “newspaper.” We would then see my stubby little fingers inking in the answers to the NYT puzzle, possibly with a second cup of coffee.
At no time would we see my visage. We might see me donning an over-sized, long-sleeved shirt that my son used to own as I head out to do some weed whacking. That would pretty much be the norm of a “Get Ready With Me” day.
No need to worry. It’s only a pipe dream to remain unfulfilled. Well, really, just a dumb idea. Time to retrieve the archaic means of consuming news.
