but yeah. i’m looking forward to summer. and i’m talking about real summer. i’m talking cruising through the ‘burbs with the windows rolled down listening to bling bling thug-hop or rap-core which is only acceptable listening material for cruising and trying to front to 13-year-old thug wannabees or slackers with 3-foot chain wallets. i’m talking about epic skate sessions and evening soccer games. i’m talking coming out after dark because it’s too damn hot to do anything during the day. i’m talking tofu-dogs adn that cheap, bright-yellow mustard that’s fifty cents a jar. i’m talking about “celebrating your nation’s independence by blowing up a small part of it.” i’m talking about taking the day off and finding a swimming hole where you can drop from large heights into odd-colored water that is probably way too shallow for safety. i’m talking about hiking through the woods and not noticing the bug bites or the poison ivy because the woods are just that beautiful. i’m talking about finding some run down diner or convenience store and making it your place for the summer. i’m talking about life’s only headaches being the ones you get from drinking your misty slush too fast. i’m talking summer, man, summer. and i’m glad i’ll spend it with you.
