Surfing Sunshine...

This weather has been awesome! It makes me wanna jump into a 1987 Jeep Wagoneer and strap my surfboard on top. Then drive to Laguna beach, catch some waves and rays.

Sadly, I do not have a surfboard or a Jeep Wagoneer. I do however enjoy the surf scene of the 1950’s and 1960’s. It seemed like a simpler time of hanging out with your buddies and chilling on the beach. There are so many vintage movies from that time period ,that get you into the spirit of the surfer nostalgia of Hawaii and California. Nothing beats having a fire on the beach and watching the sunset, while listening to music. Man, where is that time machine when you need it.

I have checked out Cali and loved it, but never been to Hawaii. It seems like it’s a very laid back style as well. Not going to lie, that may be my next vacation spot to check out. Hit up the beaches, check out the food, Mai Tais and just chill all day. Maybe I’ll love it so much I’ll never leave. I can surf all day and eat all night. (Spam is good in Hawaii, or so I heard.)

I may not get to Hawaii for awhile, but in the meantime , I can bring that style of summer living here. The summer in Buffalo comes and goes so quickly, maybe we should all just chill, enjoy the sunshine and not be in a rush to get to the wintertime.

Aloha brotatos,

P.S anyone have any hawaiian shirts they wanna donate to me?????

Life gives you Lemons

This sunshine has gotten me thinking about how staying positive is the only way to live. Life will always give you lemons. There are also days where I want to be alone and curl up and sulk in sorrow. However, You can either pucker up and always have a sour outlook on the day to day, or make lemonade and enjoy that sweet sweet drink.

I noticed the older I become the harder it is to stay youthful and positive. With so much drama going on and war, strife and craziness it’s easy to fall in line with everyone else and be bitter. (Just read social media) I ask you to fight that urge. Be the happiness in this world. Resist that urge to have that sour look on your face 24/7. Your outlook on life truly defines how “Lucky” you are. I don’t believe in luck but I feel you are open to more awesome opportunities, the more positive and youthful you are. I mean who enjoys cynical people.

Never lose that youthfulness we all have. Surround yourself with people are positive and happy most of the time. Life is so much more fun and grand with people like that.

Go out and play!

Go on a run and sweat!

Enjoy the warm breeze!

Drink that cold beverage and eat that chocolate cake!

Enough with this attitude of pessimistic nihilism. We aren’t helping anyone.

Yours truly,

P.S. Go outside and enjoy this Summer of Happiness!
