"Wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake"

It's a shame more people don't know the rock group Better than Ezra. They are really missing out on some freaking good music.

Their new album comes out on the 31st and I predict it goes double platinum. If JoJo who is 14 can sell two million albums then so can BTE. "Double platinum?" you ask. "But Better Than Ezra hasn't sold more than 500,000 copies of anything in like 8 years or something."
You have a good point, anonymous asker. However, there last two albums did not have record label support, a key ingredient for getting your music distributed and played on the radio, internet and tv. How Does Your Garden Grow? was released when Elektra was pretty much through with BTE and it was not promoted for long.

Closer was released and Extraordinary (perhaps their worst song ever) was played on the radio for awhile. But their label went bankrupt before their second single could be released. What would it have been? A Lifetime. Now four years later A Lifetime is being rereleased on Before the Robots and it is currently at #26 on Adult Contemporary Charts. Plus VH1 is playing it. This album is so freaking good. There could easily be four hit singles on it, if A Lifetime continues to grow. Thus, I predict Double Platinum. You will all hopefully, soon be hearing the band on the radio and you will understand why I love the Rock Group: Better Than Ezra.

Tomorrow I will be going to Softball practice. This will be the first time I've gone to a practice involving a baseball mit since I was 12. It should be interesting.

Most Anticipated Movies of the Summer in My Book:

Kingdom of Heaven
and of course: House of Wax (not because I expect a good movie, but because of Paris Hilton and Elisha Cuthbert) see below
