Sometimes I wonder. If things were opposite what would it be like? Some days I can cry as many tears as there were raindrops that fell.

Summer 2010 Top 7

Food - It was summer. You know my feelings on bbq. It is incomparable to anything else in the summer besides ice cream treats and watermelon and swimming pools.
TV - Baseball pretty much ruled my summer. But as far as tv shows Leverage once again was not a disappointment. In addition, Louie was the best new show of the summer Absolutely hilarious Louis C.K. is hysterical.
Movies - Inception was by far the best movie of the summer. I didn't see many movies but when you trend on Twitter for a week you obviously are something people are talking about and it was all good raves. But Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't been in a bad movie that I've ever seen. He's highly bankable.
Music - There were so many good things from music this summer. I'm so into stoner music in the summer. That and hood anthems. My favorite releases of this summer were by Wale, Kid Cudi, Big Boi, Waka Flaka Flame, Gucci, Kidz in the Hall, J. Cole.Something about the sun and upbeat music that puts a huge smile on your face. And when you play your music as loud as I do you're sure to have smile on your face. And of course great electronic driven pop is a given in summer and two of my favorite summer artists now are Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. They make great summer hits especially the latter. (Maybe I'll post a summer playlist)
Drink - I've had a plethora of drinks this summer but my favorite by far was the beer can margarita from the homie DomiQJ. (Btw today is her bday special blog shoutout to her) But this will be a mainstay from now until I start my restaurant. And it will be a drink on the menu too.
Moment - I finally made the plunge to move from home. It's been hard especially in this economy. I'm still 2 years removed from college and still do not have a job. I'm not the only person in the country educated but unemployed but damn I have a good degree. Time will only tell what will happen.
Random - I just signed up for a tumblr. I don't really know what it is except a mix of a blog and a Twitter account. Sounds like a lot of fun but it'll be different from this blog. That one is in preparation for my life in the entertainment scene. Like Richita Branson or somebody lol.

And I leave you with my all-time favorite summer song

It's been a long time since I've done this. I had a different idea but I scrapped it and we'll go with this. I've been in DC almost 3 months now. I enjoy this idea of big city life. I like that there are places within walking distance. I like that there is feasible public transportation (although I am not a fan). I like everything about it here...almost. Some of the things I have no control over like the skyrocketing cost of living. And that is the main deterrent I had about coming back. But I couldn't stand to be at home either. It seems that these days I am running into more and more Catch-22s but I guess that's all a part of being an adult. Sacrificing. I can't help but wonder what people sacrifice only a daily basis just to make it especially today with this economy. I just know that it won't be long. It seems like every time I try and act positively something bad happens to break my spirit but I'm a fighter and I've got my dukes up and I'm protecting my face.

And I'm aware that I owe you an August Top 7 but I'm thinking of an end of summer Top 7.
