Anyways, Little Big Town just came out with a new single called Pontoon -- it's right here:
Now that Webtree (oh Webtree how I love thee and hate thee at the same time) time is over, it's time to really enjoy summer. I am choosing not to think about school at all (no matter how excited I am) and enjoy a few lazy summer days and "party in slow motion, making waves and catching rays up on the roof" as Little Big Town so aptly put it. Except I have work -- no worries though, that is essentially all we do all day anyway. So no thoughts of school, or packing, or dorms -- except maybe about my roommate, she's that cool -- for the month of July. I'll even give you a few reasons why you should do the same, because July is CLEARLY the best month of the year.
1) The Fourth of July -- Best. Holiday. Ever. Fireworks, cardboard boat races, ice cold beer and hot dogs that, if you're doing it right, should be charred and on fire, live bands, and if you're doing it Florida style like me (I'm working at the beach all summer -- more about that later), waterskiing, tubing, and obviously, a boat. What more could you want? Oh, that's right, American Flag bikinis -- you know you're dying to wear one, and guess what guys, it's the one day of the year it might even be considered classy. Lucky us!
2) The Weather -- Heat promotes laziness. So get out there, sweat, and soak up those rays babe. You'll love it I promise.
3) It's halfway through the year -- We all need a little halfway break and July is perfect. It's halfway through the year, halfway through the summer, and therefore the perfect time to just kick back. So go find a floatie and stick an umbrella in whatever you're drinking. Even if you're in your pool at home, it'll feel great to just chill.
4) Gatorade -- It's the drink of the gods. Enough said.
5) Hurricane Season -- Surfers in Florida pray for hurricanes. We do rain dances and any voodoo ceremonies necessary to get those massive waves. Thank god it's July -- and our prayers are almost invariably answered in July.
So enjoy the best month of the year -- and try not to think about the fall. I know it's hard, but just channel your inner school hating fourth grader. And if you MUST think about school, do something fun. Online dorm room shopping anyone? It's online, so it's suitably lazy. Sayonara folks for the next month though. I'll check in, but for the most part, I'll be the one who smells like gunpowder and pyrotechnics with the surfboard and the lifetime supply of gatorade in their car.
