Finally, Some Decent Weather

          With this winter being one of the coldest I've experienced in my life, I have been counting the days until I would be able to walk around in shorts and a t shirt again. I mean seriously, I got iced in over christmas break for 3 full days. IN GEORGIA. Its not like I live in Minnesota or something, where ice is a normal thing. Georgia is NOT supposed to snow more than a single day out of the year, and absolutely never ice over. Nonetheless, it happened, and I had to deal with it so its pretty safe to say I was ready for warm weather.
          Well my dream came true. Earlier this week, it was warm enough to go outside and throw the frisbee (which I think has become one of my favorite past times). We wound up doing this for probably about 2 hours before our arms started to feel like they were going to fall off. And I was perfectly ok with that simply because i got to be outside in athletic shorts and a t shirt. Like I said, it was a dream come true.
          I'm going to cut this blog post a little bit short this time because I feel like all of my other ones have been pretty long, so I'm trying something new. Keep it simple: that's the mindset here. Anyways, I've been listening to a really talented guy that goes by the name The Tallest Man On Earth. He's a Sweden-born singer/songwriter who's real name is Kristian Mattson. He clearly has been influenced by Bob Dylan (you'll know what I'm talking about as soon a you listen to him). Mattson has one of the most unique voices I've heard in quite some time. He really doesn't sound like anyone I can think of. Oh yeah, and he sings in English, so you don't have to worry about learning Swedish to listen to him. So I hope you guys like him and sorry for not being nearly as consistent with these posts as I was last semester. I've gotten a little distracted by life, I guess. Anyways, Let's hope this awesome weather keeps up. I'm sick of being cold.

  1. I wore my sandals the other day...until someone told me my toenails were too long. Winter has its perks.
