I don’t know about you, but my weeks been a busy one. Like, ‘extra crazy I’m tired and holy crap when is the weekend‘ gonna come’ busy. So here’s my gift to you, my friends. A little pick-me-up. Here’s the “Thursday Chill Mix because the Weekend is Near!” But even in the wake of this insanity, I am reminded by a greeting a missionary I listened to used, “God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good.” Yes He is.

So chill out, enjoy your Thursday because because God good and the weekend is near…

Thursday Chill Mix because the Weekend is Near!

Make your own mixes @ 8 Track (thanks Mudpuppy for the tip in the wake of Muxtape’s demise)

1. My Family - being gone 9 days seemed like a month. The wife and kids were a sight for sore eyes. It’s been a good long weekend to say the least.

2. Wall - E - Pixar has managed to make a magical and poignant kids flick that speaks to adults. I don’t know how they do it. It’s nearly a silent film, but mesmerizing the whole way through. Samuel, my 2 year old, was captivated from start to finish. One of Pixar’s best (and that says a lot). A+

3. Toilets - After squatting in the rattlesnake infested back country, I’m all praises for Mr. Crapper. Well done you silly frenchman! Well done.

4. Coldplay’s ‘ Viva La Vida‘ - Chris Martin and the gang are back with a vengeance… well a soft melodic vengeance. They’ve got a big, sweeping sound that reminds you of U2’s Joshua Tree and that’s not a bad thing.

5. Fireworks - Can I tell you that I love living in a state where fireworks are legal? Just buy the family pack for the kids and then sit out in your drive way watching all the neighbors blast hundreds of dollars lighting the night sky. Great times. Steven Colbert put it best, “Many states don’t allow the sale of fireworks. Well, to me, it is not the Fourth of July until I’m rolling on the ground, screaming for somebody to put me out!”

That’s my week, how’s your been?
