The 5th of July

I keep telling myself I’m going to write a blog post when I think of something that I should share and then when I have a moment to write about it in a way that would do it justice. I don’t know when I decided my blog posts needed to be some literary work or something. I mean, my last post was about a cats scream yawning youtube video… why do I think that I need to change my posting/writing style? I think that my 1-2 readers would be really disappointed if I started talking about some deep BS anyway. 

So this is good news, because it takes the pressure off of me and I can just post anything I want. I’ve been brainstorming things to write about: awkward encounters (I’ve had plenty since my last post… just have to choose one), funny websites, summer time, random adventures, relationships (totally not sharing that info on the interwebs… a girl’s gotta have some secrets!), or the awesome recipes I’ve tried on Pinterest lately. 

Nothing really seems to be jumping out at me though. This is probably because it is the 5^th of July. Yes, that means the 4^th of July was yesterday. On a Wednesday. Today is Thursday and everyone has to work. We are all being abruptly knocked out of our holiday coma and back to the real world a little faster than appreciated. The worst part about it is that about half of the world decided to take today off. So all of us that are working are stuck waiting for everyone else to get back before we hear responses on any of our projects. I understand that we can’t really move the 4^th of July, but there has to be some way that we can flex days off so we can all have the 5^th of July off too. I think this is really what Congress should be focusing on. I think they should pass some sort of bill reinforcing the July 4^th government holiday, but following up with a caveat that if the 4^th is to fall in the middle of the week, the 5^th will also be considered a national holiday. I think that is something both parties can agree on. I don’t even think this has to be a federal thing. Could Colorado make some sort of law or something? After thinking about this, I did look up quite a few other things that the Colorado government thought was important like “One may not mutilate a rock in a state park” or “throwing missiles at cars is illegal”. Seriously, there’s a list of ridiculous things here. If lawmakers have enough time to work on those laws, I think that it would be great to have the 5^th of July off of work. I have obviously provided quite a solid case. Boom. Lawyered.

Fun Friday Finds- Tubalr and Cats Scream Yawn

This week has gotten away from me. I had the best of intentions of writing a post this week, but it just didn’t turn out the way I anticipated. From budget hearings to hockey games, the days slipped away from me. The good news: I still had time to find random goodness on the interwebs to share with you. You’re welcome. 

  

Wednesday was a pretty rough day for me and everyone that works in my department. I decided to cheer up everyone by sending out this video on Thursday morning. Cats Scream Yawn. It is amazing. I don’t have a clue what would make someone come up with the concept of this video and it is absolutely ridiculous, but it also was a good stress reliever to start the day. I recommend. Side note- don’t go crazy looking for other animals scream yawning, you may come across Screaming Bunnies, and they are much less cute and more terrifying.

If you are looking for a sweet decorating item and you are as obsessed with colleges as I am, check out City Prints. These are basically maps of your college town (you can also customize them) but are much more artistic. It requires more of a trained eye to realize that they are maps rather than just a cool piece of artwork. Check them out. Feel free to buy me one.

Last weekend I went to Nederland for the Frozen Dead GuyDays. If you haven’t heard of this, it is basically a festival that celebrates this guy that decided to “cryogenically” freeze himself in his shed. There are coffin races, a polar bear plunge, air guitar contests and more. If you have never attended such a thing, you should probably schedule your next vacation around Frozen Dead Guy Days so you can see the spectacle. 

 

Ever wanted to watch Youtube videos of bands that you like but despise all the clutter and random junk that goes along with it? Want to find bands similar to the ones you like also? Then Tubalr is for you. Totally easy and you can even narrow it down by genre if you want. Good stuff. 

Well I’m off to watch some wonderful Tubalr selections. Happy Friday!
