Nothings ever promised tomorrow today

Uh, And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
And I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today.
Nothing's ever promised tomorrow today
But we'll find a way
And nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way
Kanye West: Heard 'Em Say


Yeah, I'll admit it. I like Kanye quite a bit. I think there are better MCs and he's kind of a crazy ass to say the least, but I still like a lot of his music (with the exception of 808s and Heartbreaks).

Anyways, on New Year's Day we went to the beach at Ocean Shores. It's a cold and windy affair, but a day at the beach is still a day at the beach. The dogs certainly had a good time.

And we frolicked about in our summer skin

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin 

Death Cab for Cutie: Summer Skin


We just spent a fabulous Labor Day weekend down in San Diego with two of our favorite relatives. A lot of time on the beach and not enough sun screen has me literally shedding my summer skin.

It's kind of gross.
