Firstlies: Thanks to all who have sent your resumes, if you would still like to apply for the internship the cutoff is next week, and I will be in touch with all applicants soon!
A few years ago Pete’s cousin was floating the Guadalupe river with a bunch of his friends (here is a visual of what that experience is like in case you are unfortunate enough not to have had it)
At a bachelor party and one of the guys was talking about politics, and in the middle of the discussion an older gentleman floated by in his tube and hollered out:
NO POLITICKIN’ ON THE RIVER…
Which was immediately followed by his wife floating past saying, “Right or wrong, he’s our President”.
Now all of this is a really amazingly rich visceral reference if it is read in a slow deeply southern accent, and if you keep in mind the visuals above. And the probability of an American Flag bandana being involved. But I can’t hold your hand in the proper way to read this blog, but do try to put it together and have a giggle.
Anyway, that has always been and will probably continue to be my policy.
No Politickin’ on the blog.
And not because I am scared to stand up for my beliefs here, but because I don’t know enough about politics or follow them closely enough to think my opinion would be somehow meaningful and informative to anyone else. I’d be all like I AM PRO BOLOGNA!!! And then someone would be like, but bologna killed my Aunt, and I’d be like, shit, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that. Well, I still like bologna but I should probably go read more about it.
Point being, this is not about politics. I am sure some of you will choose to take it that way and get offended, and I preemptively apologize for you being offended. And I am sure some of you will take it that way and be ‘like good for her’, and for that I say to you ALL…
Just enjoy the music.
Pete and I got to go to Lollapalooza when we were in Chicago, which pre-baby was one of our most favorite things. His parents agreed to take Gracie for the weekend, so for 3 rambunctious days we were just a bunch of lightly intoxicated dirty yuppies pretending to be hippies doin’ it all for the music. Here is a visual on that:
Anyway, one of my favorite discoveries was Macklemore…and not just a little bit because he kind of looks like Pete, but also a lot a bit because he is really good. Other songs besides the one I am about to share that I quite enjoy would be Can’t Hold Us, Otherside, And We Danced.
But this one? This one raps to my heartbox.
I hope you enjoy, feel the love, and have a fantastic weekend.
Damn Right I Support It.
And I will accept comments of all kinds today, except those that are hateful or rageful. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
I am also a long time reader and first time commenter….Thanks for sharing this and supporting equal rights for all. No reason in this day we are still so behind…Love it!
Gave me the chills. Thank you. You are a boss.
