Macklemore and Ryan Lewis hold a ‘Heist’ on hip hop

Macklemore x Ryan Lewis: The Heist (Deluxe Edition) Download iTunes

Hip hop artist Ben Haggerty also known as Macklemore comes from what is known as “his city” of Seattle, Washington. Macklemore grew up on Capital Hill in Seattle and started his music career in high school. Later going on to graduate with a bachelors degree from Evergreen State College and picking up a job at a juvenile detention facility helping youth use music as an alternative. 

Being one of the biggest fans the Mariners have ever seen, him and Ryan Lewis performed My Oh My, a tribute song to the late announcer of the Seattle Mariners, Dave Niehaus on opening day of 2011. Recently named to XXL Freshman class cover of 2012, him and Lewis followed up with the next best thing hip hop has seen with their new album The Heist. This highly inspirational album covers controversial topics in todays media. I suggest you all give this album a valid listen even if you don’t like “rap” music. This self made and created duo gives proof that hard work and great talent goes a long way.

So You Missed the Bus Again?!!

So everybody hates Mondays…. I think that my son’s school, which is Provo High, has finally figured it out.  For those of us who are parents know how much we hate it when our children miss the bus. When they miss, you have rearrange your whole schedule, by either dropping everything your doing to getting ready for the day and run them to school and then come all the way back home or the alternate is hurry up, get ready and rush out the door and take him or her to school and then by that time they are late. Of course Monday’s suck and for our family it was the most missed bus day.  After a long weekend and of being off schedule, children seem to get off schedule even in that short amount of time.  So when Monday comes around it’s a dreaded morning, up early and hit the ground running.  Most schools in district, probably all of them, has an early-out day where your child gets out early one day of the week for teacher prep time. Which of course, when they were younger, I would forget and they would be stranded waiting for me!  My son’s school has cleverly decided that instead of having an early-out day, they have changed it to a late-start morning and to make even better, they have made that day a Monday!! How awesome! It must be a mother who made that changed! Even though it the actual time is only 45 minutes later. That 45 minutes makes a world of difference not sure why, but when I set my alarm on Sunday night,for some reason, I almost look forward to setting the alarm, knowing that I don’t have to get up as early, as I will on Tuesday.  I am sure the thrill is just really a trivial thing to most, but I hate getting up in the morning, and so this is the greatest thing since sliced bread, well almost.
