The Beach is Back

First & foremost, happy summer solstice. Summer is here! Usually, summer is my least favourite season, but not this cycle around the sun. I’m excited. Like last Christmas, winter season, I am sooo into the season & am looking forward to it. I grew very excited as the change of the season, calendar-wise, approached. Nipples hard & everything. Well, not everything. I saw light! Pun intended. I’ve drafted a list of things to do in Los Angeles this summer & my red marker is ready to start swiping & slashing –tSwizzle status! Cap’s on in the meantime so it doesn’t dry out. There won’t be any summertime sadness here! I’m ready to do shit. The animal was locked up in his cage for too long! & yes, he is vaccinated. #Moderna. Are we still needing boosters? I’m a few behind.

Aside from waking up hung over from celebrating summer solstice eve, I woke up with the energy to live & love a whole new season. Spring may be the season of rebirth, but summer is where you do a lot of living! & no, I’m not woke. I feel like I’ve experienced a shedding of the skin, an awakening of some sort. This spring was metamorphoses-like. Let’s laugh at the other ‘gilded butterflies.’ Always know, trust in the universe & the universe will guide you, direct you into where you need to be. Sometimes, we don’t get answers instantaneously, but know, we’ll eventually get them!

I celebrated the first day of summer by going to the beach, where I haven’t been in what feels like forever! After work, I just got up & booked it. No thinking. I was like, get.me.out.of.here! The beach is back! Me & the ‘Bu are very good, old friends. Out of all that time, I didn’t get to visit the’ Bu when all the rain & gloom was occurring. It’s beautiful when the weather’s like that at the beach.

I see this summer as a ‘staycation.’ I need to get rererereacquainted with Los Angeles, & local surroundings, on a different level. I’m different. It’s not like I’ve been doing nothing. Check out my Insta! Go exercise your groupie tactics. Road trip within the state, maybe? “Call me, maybe?” I just feel like I’ve slacked in some areas –hobby-wise & in other areas I’ve really spruced it up! & I don’t need to brag about those areas but it’s time to switch gears. All while trying to be as frugal as can be. I have some financial goals to achieve. & although I have some great plans in-store for the summer, there are greater plans for the fall. 😉 I’m excited for that, but let’s enjoy the now!

You ask why summer is my least favourite season? It’s overrated. Plus, in good ol’ sunny SoCal, it’s nearly summer all the time. & it’s annoying when Angelenos complain about not seeing the sun & then when it’s too hot?!? In case you forgot, California is a desert; HOWEVER, Mother Nature has switched it up a little & thank you for that! Most are calling it ‘climate change’ or what have you. Call it what you want to call it. Yes, I’m a fucking alcoholic. I was quoting Xzibit. That rapper. He’ll resurface soon.

I’m also looking forward to having a summer fling, a summer love. Someone just to be “Cool for the Summer” with –Demi Lavato status. Somehow, someway, but we’ll see how that pans out. I’m open to it! Not posting an ad for it. When someone asks me the name, I’ll just bust a ‘Jan Brady’ & say, “his name’s ‘George. George Glass.’” Or maybe it’ll be a ‘Georgina?’ “I’ll never tell… XoXo…” LMFAO. I am not sad to see that reboot/ sequel cancelled. I love me. OK! Maybe my summer-fling will be me. If I were not me, I’d sooooo date me! If you don’t know who ‘Jan Brady’ is, we probably shouldn’t chat, but if you know ‘Marsha Brady’ then that’s a whole other story. You might have redemption. Overall, hoping for a nice summer fling doesn’t mean I don’t get mine… It’s time to live— more! Go bump “Summerlove” from the record, futuresex/lovesounds.

This spring, as always, felt so short! Think ‘Spring Love’ by Stevie B.. The season lasted as long as his career, not his hit. Is that June gloom over done with?!? The forecast says so, but like fortune’s wheel, it’s always spinning & changing. Fortune… has luck been on my side?!? IDK. Life is… life! I feel like life is going by a little slow & the best thing I can do is take advantage of that & do shit! Explore! Get out. Live. Fuck, hate if you have to! LMAO. Do something GOOD for yourself, with yourself. Take advantage when time goes slow to live in the moment more, because then it’ll all be “too fast.” It’s time to swap those beanies & half gloves & coats & rainboots –yes, even for Angelenos! for swimming trunks, shorts, tank tops –barely-covering-anything-clothing, & stunner shades & hats & sunscreen. Before we know it, Angelenos will be complaining about how hot it is outside instead of inflated gas prices or fast-food costs. It’s funny how here is Los Angeles, this month, it didn’t start getting sunny until the actual day of summer. That June gloom is real! It came early. Now, there’s ‘gray May’ or ‘May gray.’ Whatever. I tend to be backwards. Or maybe forward & just ahead of the times? We’ll go with that one. Happy summer. May your days be full of sunshine. Get some sunshine, vitamin D. We all need it & most lack it. & speaking of summer-flings & the beach, don’t take sand to the beach.
