Elvis

When I find things on the Internet that I like, I usually save them to iPhoto so I can ogle at them later.
I'm usually not very good at taking note of the source, so I rarely share them.
As I went back to look at some of the photos I saved, I noticed how many are in black and white.
The classic simplicity of it is very cool.
Right now, my background is Elvis drinking coffee because
A. I like Elvis
B. I like coffee

My grandmother LOVES this guy. She has tons of Elvis paraphernalia. She even went to his concert right before he got his big break. So. Cool.

I wish I had been around in the heyday of Elvis. Overall, the era seems like a cool time to be alive. I love to hear my granparents' stories about the things they did with their friends. Once my grandpa's friend wanted a convertible, so he just sliced the top of his car off! 

My grandparents would go on skating dates to the roller rink and once, when my grandpa was trying to show off,  he skated right into the girls bathroom. 

I talked to my grandparents on my birthday (January 24th!) and was reminded that when my grandmother was 19, she was married and had a kid. That is so far from where I am it's insane. 

Life has shifted so much in 50 years. Two generations ago, that was the norm. Now, who can say what is normal? 

It's a little terrifying to think if that much can change in 2 generations, what will the world be like 2 generations from now? 

Yikes.

With that scary thought, I suggest you take a sip of some delicious coffee and then set it down so you can boogie to "Hound Dog"

Happy Saturday!
