I LOVE BOB MARLEY. This post is in honor of his upcoming birthday this Sunday Feb. 6th. My daddy texted me this morning (rare occasion for those who don't know my dad) and he told me WXRT, Chicago radio station, was playing Bob and his families music all day in honor of his birthday. 1. This made me very jealous that I wasn't at home to listen with my dad 2. I was mad that the damn Livestream for WXRT wasn't working either. So I made my own Bob Marley station today. It has been a marvelous adventure with one of my favorite artists. I must quote my favorite line from him as well:
Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect - and I don't live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.
Again, one of my all time favorite lines. Everything about Bob (yes I call him this because I like to pretend like I was on a first name basis with the man) has amazed me. I think I have my father to blame for that. He was the one who introduced me to so many great artists. I wouldn't be the same person without his efforts and I appreciate diverse music so much more. It makes me sad that some people are stuck in one type of music for the rest of their lives. But, thankfully I don't have to be that person :-)
Lately, I've been feeling kind of homesick, which doesn't happen often for me. I'm not sure what it is but I just really miss being home right now. I don't think our 2 snow days helped that case either. In college it's even harder to go back to classes after snow days, we shouldn't be allowed or something. Well anyways, it just makes me feel so thankful that I have the parents I do. They have been some of the most influential people in my life and for a lot of my friends. I know my dad may seem a little scary at first, but he really does have my best interest at heart. He's probably more mellow than he'd ever want to admit. My mom is amazing too, she's a clean freak and probably considered a control freak too but she's shown me what it means to work hard and I truly appreciate that. I guess this post is really for them, thank you for molding me into the strong person I am today. LOVE YOU!
