I'm not good at taking a hint. I am filled with cynicism and I am too naive to pick up on them. You have to come straight at me. Hit me over the head with it if you will. Most people know this. As a matter of fact, this was a recent conversation in my house with my 15 year old son.
"Dad, are you familiar with Grime?"
"The artist Grimes?"
"No, the music genre Grime."
"I can't say I've heard of it."
"It originates from England and is a mix of rap and electronic dance music. You should Google it...and write about it. Have you started your blog back up or what?"
Point taken.
