How does this happen? I pretty much troll music blogs obsessively, and have been focused on bluegrass music for the past year or so. So how, then, has it taken me this long to discover the Carolina Chocolate Drops?? Watch and listen to this song below...I guarantee you've never heard anything like this before.
AND they have multiple albums out!? I hang my head in shame as I ponder ways to better search the music world for truly refreshing sounds...
We've got two videos below that both showcase the benefit of having a wheeled activity in one's life. It is so inspiring to see the smiles, see the faces, and hear the stories that have emerged from these 'underground' organizations. People might say..."Oh, it's just biking...it's just skating" - but no, it's much more than that. Confidence and creativity can go a long way in life, and it's so exciting to see a new generation of social awareness based around these sports.

Well, what can you say about this? If this is hip-hop, I've been very mis-informed...

There is so much good stuff going on in rollerblading right now, so expect to see a barrage of skate-related posts in the weeks to come. For today, we have Gavin Drumm, a UK skater who just oozes style and brings tons of creative hits to his skate game. This is exactly the type of skating that I enjoy watching!

I just stumbled across these photographs of the rural south, taken by an Athens, GA native, Evan Leavitt. They are equal parts charming and haunting. This is kind of what everyone pictures when they think of Georgia - if they have not been there themselves. But in al reality, the average visitor would never make it far enough out into the sticks to see these kind of settings. I, on the other hand, can remember driving past building like this all the time growing up...driving up into the mountains to hike. Anyway, they are beautiful, and I wanted to share...
For real...safety in the workplace should be on the top of everyone's mind. I know it's cool to climb ladders with no supervision, and oil up machines without unplugging them...but if you thought it was all fun and games, this should serve as a humbling reminder.
