The Help

I read The Help last year as a recommendation from my Mumu (we both love to read and go back and forth with titles). When I found out there was a movie coming - a date out was set (well... not set-set...  more like "Lets try to do that!").
The book was very good - I personally learned a lot about that time in that culture. I can't wait to support this by paying the ridicules price of $11.

The Song of Summer

This is the song of summer. Epic. Barefoot Blue Jean Night (Jake Owen)



Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones


A full moon shinin' bright
Edge of the water; we were feelin' alright
Back down a country road
The girls are always hot, and the beer is ice cold

Cadillac, horns on the hood
My buddy Frankie had his dad hook him up good
Girls smile when we roll by
They hop in the back, and we cruise to the river side

Chorus
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna grow up
(Whoa-oh)
Never gonna slow down
(Whoa-oh)
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right
(Whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive
(Whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night

Blue eyes and auburn hair
Sittin' lookin' pretty by the fire in a lawn chair
New to town, and new to me
Her ruby red lips was sippin' on sweet tea
Shot me in love like a shootin' star
So, I grabbed a beer and my ol' guitar
Then we sat around till the break of dawn
Howlin' and singin' our favorite song

Chorus

Whoa-oh, never gonna grow up
Ha!
Never gonna slow down
We were shinin' like lighters in the dark
In the middle of a rock show
(Whoa-oh)
We were doin' it right
(Whoa-oh)
We were comin' alive
(Whoa-oh)
Yeah, caught up in a Southern summer, barefoot, blue jean night

(Whoa-oh)
Barefoot, blue jean night
(Whoa-oh)
Barefoot, blue jean night
(Whoa-oh)

(I can't decided if I like this song because it's catchy or if it's because I'm hick at heart)
(definition of 'hick' = adjective - located in a rural or culturally unsophisticated area: a hick town)

ANd iF a PErSoN tYpeS lIkE tHiS, YoU iMaGinE tHEiR vOiCe GoINg uP aND doWN?
AND WHEN THE TEXT IS ALL CAPS, YOU IMAGINE THEM SAYING IT A LITTLE LOUDER IN YOUR HEAD...





I know I do.

Happy (almost) 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day all! I won't be able to post or email until after the 4th (that's why I'm posting now) due to helping out with the firework show over at Lake Wilderness (Any locals? Come on over and say Hi!).

4th weekend
