WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Hey Kristiana.......I was taking notes

Posted over 2 years ago
So for funky friday, I seem to be late with my post. Between a 90 degree day, loss of my internet for a while and a child who doesn't seem to want to nap, I spent a large chunk of my day at my favorite lake. It was hot, yet felt so right to be out in the sun. With it being Friday, the crowds were out as well. People watching is something I could do for hours, and it was something that helped today as I trekked around this mass of water. After reading Kristiana's post on her incredible bike ride, I took my camera along and documented my trip so people could get a look as to why I love walking around Lake Calhoun.First look of the lake as I parked the car. Love the skyline in the backround.Next, we start down the path..... had to wait for a little break in the action.Fishing your thing, well these are found all around the lake.Next my sons favorite stop on the trek, the playground that looks empty in this picture. Seems it was just too hot out, and the slides hurt if you touched them. Next one of three beaches around Lake Calhoun, usually packed but the heat drove most people away.Although we didnt eat here, the pavilion has some of the best seafood at a bargain of a price.A quick glance at Uptown. A place where you could easily win a game of hipster bingo.Lastly, the thing that made my day. Some woman had her 8 pups out and swimming in the lake. This guy took a liking to me, and I wished I could have brought him home.So what does this have to do with music, not much but I do have a little something funky to add to the mix. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and hope you enjoy the tune. The song, not so much funk, a little more soul. After a hot day like today, its what the doctor ordered.Did I forget something.......oh yeah das booty!

  1. Lizziegreeneyes says This was the one playing in my head - though the booty pic was distinctly different ;) Not even a big Supremes fan - HATED Dreamgirls - but I will always think China Beach & HOT summer days... whenever I hear this song.

  3. Augusts1 says Nice pics & scenery. Oh my, that booty pic is verging on x-rated cause I can see some camel toe there Kev, heh! Btw, I had been wondering where you had been since I hadn't heard a thing from you in days. I was getting ready to mogmail yo ass! Lizzie, so you hated "Dreamgirls"? That's surprising coming from you. A movie based on a broadway play & you didn't like it. Well here we go again lol! Personally I loved the movie & thought it was so well done all the way around but then I didn't see the stage play so I bet you didn't like the movie cause you saw the play. But the movie was someone else's interpretation of the play since it had to be written as a screen play & then the director has his own style & vision too. It was a visually stunning film & I really felt that the acting & singing were amazing as well.

  7. Lizziegreeneyes says *August:* I am usually a Pro-Play, Con-Musical kinda girl - I understand the irony being that music is my life's breath. Very few musicals I can sit through. Rent I like & Chicago, Moulin Rouge, but mainly - Spring Awakening - I really don't consider it a musical, or at least - I think it's changed what a musical can be & improved every aspect that I take issue with in most musicals: _Sharks & Jets_ are a *gang* that sing & dance in unison... ooh tough gangs... the suspension of reality always gets me... Usually less concentrated on acting Vocal performances are stage-y in sound, "a Broadway voice" - always sounds forced & phony. I am an actor's actor - I love character driven movies/plays & I am not into the over the top performances that most musicals engender. I thought Dreamgirls was super thin on acting, wasn't a single performance I enjoyed. I actually had to stop watching it was so long & never grabbed a hold of me. I was surprised to see Hudson get the Oscar along with all the other awards. Never saw the musical on Broadway. Sorry darlin... once again we gots to agree to disagree with tons of luv & much respecK ;)

  8. PopeyePete says Great post Kev! Nice to see your favorite spots to hang out. I love that track, its funny, everytime I hear it, I'm always reminded of the commercial for the Double Stuft Oreos. At least I think thats what song they played it on. Enjoy your weekend dude!
