I was just sitting here, feeling sorry for myself because I have to study today for a test tomorrow, but I'd rather be eating ice cream and drinking beer. Then the song Shut Up and Smile by Bowling For Soup came on, and I'm reminded of two things:

1. I need to just shut up and smile

2. All I really need is love and beer, some ice cream and a hug

So I’m gonna’ take a break now and go get me some of that.





May your day be full of those things that make YOU happy!

Happy July 4th!!!

Wise words from silly guys:

SHUT UP AND SMILE
by Bowling For Soup

It’s not the end of the world
In fact its not even the end of the summer
But thank god the TV is on
Cuz there’s no way we could know
Anything that’s goin’ down
Or how were supposed to be feeling about it
I can’t tell you how much I wish we could shut up and smile, yeah

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
All we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
Throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I’m a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug…

Take a good look around
Does life really suck
Are we just complaining
I hope that this mic is on (testing 1, 2)
Cuz im on a roll here
I hope this is making some sense
I hope that you’ll throw up your hands and sing it
And tell all the haters that they should just shut up and smile, yeah

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
all we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la

Throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I’m a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream

All we need is love and beer
And old school metal and holiday cheer
TO be happy
(All you need is someone near)
Like Ben and Jerry
(To hold you close and pretend that they care)

Can we all just, get along now
We found something that we all have in common now
We can hold hands, do keg stands
Water skiing sounds great to me now

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
all we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
Throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
Maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe we’re a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug

(Chanting “All we need is love and beer”)
all we need is some ice cream and a hug
all we need is some ice cream and a hug
all we need is some ice cream and a hug
