Summer Heat Baby

It's hot in Georgia, I understand that. Today the heat index was 111 degrees, I get it, that's hot. But I still can not understand when people say they hate the summer. Of course I was born in June and have always hated being cold. But it goes deeper than that. Yesterday I sat on my front porch and I drank my Izzie and waited on the UPS truck and it was one of the best afternoons I've had in a while. Stepping out in the sun makes me so happy, literal shivers run up and down my spine,  I smile involuntarily the world is better. Its like an affirmation that there's good in the world, that you can be happy for absolutely no reason. So I was. And it was divine.

there is a story that goes with this picture.

Sooo, one of my friends, K (i'm gonna do names gossip girl style) loves to send pictures with her phone. Love it! (thats also something she says a lot) Because she is always hanging with Z (shown above) she sends me pictures of him. So I have tons of creepy pictures of Z in different places...for example, at the aqarium, playing guitar, sitting next to me at a party, etc. So I believe this shirtless picture finishes off my collection quite nicely. Don't you agree?

The Way I Am

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match


'Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am


If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better


'Cause I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am


I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear


'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am


You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

The title of this blog was inspired by Ingrid Michaelson and her lovely song, Take Me The Way I Am.
If I could have anything in the world, I would want the kind of devotion so perfectly described in this song. Songs like this I play over and over and over and wish that they could ever describe my life. Another example:
 
 I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away


I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

The Luckiest, Ben Folds. If someone ever sang this to me with half the passion Ben Folds does I would swoon.

But this blog isn't about that. Its about me, and my friends, my life, my experiences, everything that makes life good and fun and interesting. Which is why I'm going to attempt to post a picture a day at least for an entire year. Pictures can say things where words can't. Pictures can show what's important to a person, or their sense of humor. So I'm letting everybody get a glimpse in my head.
