She had no idea what was about to happen. Unfortunately, I had an idea. And boy, it’s an outside affair because it smelled like something out of a bad Judd Apatow movie. It was crude and I’d like to forget it.
From Cyndi Lauper to Florida Georgia Line
I’m proud of my taste in music. As a child, thanks to my parents and a record player, I developed a love for the Beach Boys. Later, I developed my first crush and it wasn’t just for her wild style… Cyndi Lauper. In middle school, I began to appreciate adult contemporary music like Bryan Adams and that song “The King of Wishful Thinking” by New Found Glory. And of course there was Vanilla Ice. High school was all about the rap music. Maybe because I lived in Miami or because it was popular everywhere, I don’t know, but I loved Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony, Coolio, Uncle Al, Easy E, Wreckx-n-Effect, 95 South, 69 Boyz, and a few others.
In college, I discovered a liking for U2, Caedmon’s Call, all the while calling DC Talk my favorite band of all time. As a young adult living in Nashville, I gained a passion for the singer/songwriter artists out there like Amos Lee and Brett Dennen.
Country music started as a roller coaster. I’d love it for a while, and hate it for a while. But still, I can like everything from Sammy Kershaw’s “Vidalia” to Florida Georgia Line’s “Cruise.”
The artists that are rising to the top of my all time favorites list now are Muse, Jack White, Green Day, Zac Brown Band, and OneRepublic. Thanks for reading!
Geek Week
In honor of YouTube’s Geek Week: At the dog park the other day I walked past a party of three (pictured) and overheard a geeky comment: “The difference between the Hobbit and those is the protagonist’s age.”
When I sat down, I laughed a while about that comment as I waited for Angry Birds to load.
I Love My Honda
Notice anything ironic about this?
on the left side: I ❤ My Honda
on the right side: For Sale
Things I Wouldn’t Have Believed A Year Ago
If you told me a year ago that I’d be making more money than New England tight end Aaron Hernandez the last half of 2013.
I’d visit a doctor and a dentist on two consecutive days.
Last summer we saw dolphins jumping in the boat wake and I told my nephew it was a once in a lifetime experience. Then this summer, we saw this. What the heck do I know?
Northwest was no longer just a direction. #poorbaby
Sharknado. Enough said.
That a few weeks ago, I’d toss the signature I got from Alex Rodriguez after chapel at Westminster Christian School in 8th grade, in the trash.
That the Dolphins would now have the lamest logo EVER. C’mon, guys! I’ve been a lifelong fan but I think now it’s reached an expiration date. #GoTitans
That American Idol hasn’t thrown in the towel yet. It’s over, let it go peacefully into the night.
That interns all over the country were born while Bill Clinton was in office. Wasn’t that like a few years ago??
