i don't have much to add beyond what's been shared. it's been so bittersweet to reflect on childhood scenes. the best summer of my life was probably 2007. pre-recession. old enough to be left alone all day but not old enough to have a car. i was stuck in the neighborhood with everyone else my age. we'd swim all day, bike to publix and buy bread. go home and play SSB: Melee on gamecube. beg whatever parents were around for pizza or sonny's bbq.
my uncles and aunts were going with my little cousins. my parents planned to spend the whole sunday at home. i was bored at home. so i did what any sane 19 year old would do. i tagged along
SO MUCH FUNNNN
in regards 2 my last post: i went outside w lovely company and we got to hammock, chat, and snack right next to the ocean. also ran into an evil boy from high school. small City moment
i went for 4 years and i wish more than anything i could go back and relive it again.
my friends are sick of my stories from then, but it holds so much of my being.
i got to be away from my parents and around new people who didnt know me along with my best friend at the time. it was a new experience and the first time i had freedom and learned how to sail. i donβt have contact with my camp friends anymore but we follow each other on instagram still.
i wish every kid the experience
β’ cost effective
β’ immensely flexible
β’ tastes great
β’ probably good for you tricks i've learned in my granola journey:
β’ more dried fruit than just raisins
β’ put on top of Fage full fat yogurt
β’ egg white, oat bran, flax
I think jazzists will be very bothered by this take. jazz is for ordinary people by berlioz is a lovely introduction. Its pop-ey and dancey and quiet nice. if you want something a little softer and a little more classic:
Chet Baker Sings is a sweet place to start. The songs used in kids on the slope has like a lot of the trad "must listen" songs that are both great and still pretty pop forward. it showcases the early genre well.
