Heading to the beach today y'all. Seattle weathermen are notorious for being wrong 98% of the time. It's supposed to be rainy, we're talking heavy Seattle rain. But yeah no. It's gorgeous out, not a cloud in sight. So I'm going to do what every Seattleite does best. Not be able to find my many pairs of sunglasses and hit the beach.
Todays song is a silly thing that originates back in New Orleans where not even the creators themselves really know what it means. It's been covered by a crap ton of artists, but I chose this one because it's my favorite.

RIP Captain Jack, thanks for helping make 90's music even more awesome!

Song of the Day
This is going to be my summer '14 anthem y'all!
Beautiful isn't it?
That is Alki Beach and damn right I swam in that.
Windows down, music up!
Always have your swimming suit on underneath.
And remember it's always cold after jumping in, but hold on.
It's always worth it.
Hey there summer, I've waited a long time for you!!

Song of the Day
Tonight I got to spend it with my brother. First of all, both of our cars are out of commission so our daddy-o gave us his. I hopped in the passenger seat and we grinned at each other.
"Where we going?" The sibling asks as we back out of the driveway.
"Doesn't matter to me." I reply as we wave goodbye to our dad.
Couple hours later we're flying down the interstate, sunroof open, my feet up on the dashboard, and we are laughing up a storm. Our time together always consists of:
1. Catching up on immediate events going on in our lives; school, work, relationships, etc.
2. Discussing our father; believe it or not we do look out for him.
3. Going down memory lane.
Sandy beaches and ice-cream also usually make an appearance but we are both bogged down in finals so we couldn't make a true escape but Alki Beach isn't too shabby.
My Song of the Day, today is Helluva Life by Frankie Ballard
"Bad times make the good times better..." It just sort of hit me as we were driving along. There was a comfortable silence between us for a brief moment and at that point I thought to myself, "This is the good stuff." And this song just sums it up perfectly.
