Vacation Rock
This is a new genre of music that I made up. It came to me last night as I was watching old videos on Youtube and because I am about to go on vacation in 2 weeks!!!!
It includes Pop/Rock from the 80’s in which the band/singer rode on a sailboat, skied, played tennis or did any other vacation activity in the music video, (but NOT hanging out on a yacht as that is reserved for yacht rock). Also it helps that the song has a “sex”aphone solo somewhere in it.
The king of this new genre is, none other than, Mr. David Lee Roth. That man was on a permanent vacation in the 80s. And almost all of his music videos have a chick in a bikini. Here are some examples…
A: (no brainer) Vacation The Go Go’s
B: Rio Duran Duran
C: Careless Whisper George Michael
D: De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da The Police
Please reply with some more…

Some More Presents I Would Accept
Saturday (aka- my birthday) is just around the corner and I am expecting some amazing gifts. I already mentioned a necklace I like a few posts ago. Now, I am not a jewelry type person, but here are a couple other pieces you could get me…
Mesh Chain Mail bracelet…slightly cheaper than the turquoise eagle….OR…
Kokna Necklace made with CAMEL BONE!!! (slightly more expensive than the turquoise eagle-you can get it at the UO in Soho)
Now I know some of you have craploads of money you wanna blow, just sayin….
I saw John Lennon's Face Too Late
So last night at work, a man came up and ordered a vodka red bull. I immediately noticed no wristband, which equals no drink at my job. So I begin explaining this to the man, if he wants to drink, he needs to get a wristband from the guy at the door, and how sorry I was, but I could get in trouble…blah blah.
Halfway thru the sentence, I realized I was talking to Sean Lennon. I gave him the drink…but only out of respect for his father.
Dirty Work
Steely Dan
Best song about infidelity.

I think it was the 4th of July
Well, our picnic was a success…in that there were people, we ate and it was relaxing. Thanks to everyone that came out and brought food. It was delicious! Here are some fun pictures from the afternoon.
As advertised, Hank was there, looking good in his cap. He loved it. He harassed everyone for food and even took a dump right next to our blankets. YAY!
Danise and Segundo were there. I was disappointed Danise didn’t wear her outrageous polyester fourth of July outfit, but the Native American shirt with fringe is a good substitute.
This couple brought their KISS blanket to sit on. Keeping it Amurican.

Crush of the Month
Ray Sawyer of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
First off, he has an eye patch. That is hot. Secondly, nice facial hair. He looks a little like a southern redneck version of Lemmy (who I have a lifelong crush on). Lastly, I love that GD song Cover of the Rolling Stone.
