It’s nice to see kids being kids. Some of the best days of my childhood was jumping in this water on this bridge.
Jumping in for hours on end until the soles of your feet were in agony from climbing up the ladder bear footed all day.
I done this only a few summers ago. Still haven’t changed 😂
@JamesSkellyBand Really loved that new coral doc jay. Has been dead inspiring to see all the footage, you can hear the energy in the clips. Music to me is all about creating your own world and theres not been many better than yous 🤜
I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.
Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.
"It's okay," I said. "Take it."
He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.
I used to be a math tutor.
I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"
He nodded. "I don't get it."
I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.
The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.
The day after that, five kids came.
Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."
Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.
Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.
"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."
I'm not closing the bakery.
I think I finally found my purpose.
It's not cookies. It's community.
J.J. Cale - After Midnight
Performed at Leon Russell’s Paradise Studios. All very informal, as loose as it gets, and effortlessly cool. Pure Tulsa Sound magic.
1979.
No phones on the table. No sense that the moment might be captured, replayed, judged later. You could drift. Say the wrong thing. Laugh too loud. Sit there doing nothing.
Now everyone’s slightly braced. Slightly performing. Even when we’re relaxed, we’re not really loose. There’s always a small part of us watching ourselves.
I still find it fascinating that people are defending Mo Salah for doing that interview. I just assumed everyone would agree it was wrong.
He has every right to be upset for being benched, no LFC player should be happy to be benched, but that’s not how you go about expressing that anger/upset.
