Sock It To Me


Kyle started listening to Nirvana after watching the "The Batman" movie and I was pretty excited to hear him blasting some of their songs from the Dojo a.k.a our former garage that is now the kid's playroom but it is currently posing as Kyle's gaming emporium and sock repository. 
We had to replace a few things in the house recently and they have been moved into the Dojo.
So my son now has a leather sectional and a large flat screen TV to work on his Minecraft empire.
The boy might never move out.
But he is not going to have a choice if he keeps leaving his socks around.
Kyle loves to take off his socks and toss them to each and every corner of the room.
We picked up the other day and found 7 pairs of socks. 
He is either going to run out of socks or get attacked by them. 
Teenage boy socks have quite the aroma. 


But let's get back to his ever-evolving musical tastes.
After listening to Nirvana, he started to explore some other artists and he has been greatly influenced by another fantastic creative type, Mrs. Shife.
I don't know if it was all the music he heard while he was growing in her belly or he just has her tastes but 
here are the latest playlists from the teenager: 




It cracks me up when I hear him ask Google to play "Holding Out For a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler and then he follows that up with something by Bon Jovi. 

Photo bomb

I can't tell if I am resembling Clint Eastwood and about to yell, "Get off my dog!" or I have been caught in the act of scratching my butt but the kiddos took a good pic of themselves and our favorite yellow dog.

Thanks for stopping by, talk to you soon and have a fantastic rest of your week.

I will persevere.
I will keep moving forward.
I will be the stream.

  1. All that and he listens to blue grass too?? Well, you got yourself a well rounded teenager, musically speaking, anyway. The Steeldrivers are a favorite here as well.

    1. The Steeldrivers were a recent discovery by me and I guess he liked what he heard, Debby. It is always a surprise what makes him happy but I like the man he is becoming.

  2. Judging by the selection, I'd say that Kyle has good taste in music! The snap of the kids with Mrs. Frizzle is very sweet. You do seem like a bit of a 'one of these things is not like the other' there in the background. ;)

    1. I tried to take myself out of the photo but I thought it was funnier with me in it because I look like you mentioned, Bea.

  3. I really don't listen to old music since I've lived through at least once already. Fall Out Boy! They are fantastic. I have a long playlist of Fallout Boy songs. Imagine Dragons is good, too very creative.

  6. Kids got a varied playlist and that's always a good thing.
    Not the socks, though, not the socks!

    1. Well the socks aren't crusty yet, Bob. So I guess that is a good thing.

  7. Love his varied tastes in music--great balance of genres and tunes. Great photo of all of you and the meme about the game show...ouch!

  8. Love the idea of kids listening to everything and everybody. They'll be discerning adults.
    I like that sectional, though. It's cool he's got this 'place/boycave/emporium' thingy. Especially because if gamers are not wearing headphones, the pinging drives me nuts.
    The Summer of 69 is such a cool song...

    XOXO

  9. I think it is great that Kyle has varied taste in music! It will help him to be a well rounded person and able to enjoy many things. I love the memes and the socks, well after raising two boys I understand!

  10. Your playlist is not too different from mine. I was never a fan of Nirvana, I tended toward the other bands of the era like Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam.

    1. I like Chris Cornell but not with Soundgarden, Bathwater. His solo stuff and Audioslave appealed to me way more.

  11. The photo bomb and the memes made me laugh!
    We recently had a pair of our son's underwear in the living room, because Ron took him for a procedure and he ended up with them in a bag. I guess he went home commando? They did get washed and given back to him, but if someone had stopped over and caught sight of the clear bag on the bottom shelf of the end table before it went to the basement... lol!
    It's great to hear Kyle is enjoying music so much!!

    1. LOL about the underwear story, Mary.

  12. I bet Kyle loves his "Boy cave". Most teenage boys in the UK only seem to listen to Grime. It's massive here. Love the photo of you all.

    1. Never heard of Grime, Joey. I will see if Kyle is interested.

  13. I must be doing something wrong. I constantly play a tight playlist of songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's and all I hear my oldest talk about is some group called AJR.

    1. I might have to ask to see your playlist, Ed. We have a lot of similar tastes so I am sure your music choices will be awesome. Never heard of AJR.

  16. The Final Countdown? Bahaha! My husband loves to tell about the time back in the day when he awoke to that song blaring from his clock radio. Scared the hell out of him!

  17. Ugh! I remember the teenage boy sock days of my son! You may have to keep that big garage door open! Your son must be in heaven though, gaming in that room! Love the photo of the dog and kids! Love the memes!

  19. Kyle has great taste in music. I loved it when Faith became old enough where we had the same taste in music. A room to be jealous of!

  20. The "Facts Don't Matter" game show is sadly too close to the present reality. Love the roofing dog! It's great that the kids have such a comfortable area to relax and let loose, and I imagine it makes keeping the "real" living area a bit easier. We have both a living room and a family room, with the living room not often used by the kids when they were growing up, and that was our experience, anyhow. Have a good week, Mr. S and family.

    1. It is definitely a little too close to reality, jenny_o. It is indeed nice that we have our rooms that we can go to that helps us decompress. You have a good week as well.

  21. Teenage boy socks...yikes, can smell them from here. I think it's time he learned how to do his own laundry. Maybe then he wouldn't leave his socks everywhere? Or everytime he starts to throw one, someone could spray him with lysol, lol. Facts Don't Matter, had me nodding my head...sadly so in this crazy world of late. The kids must love having their own space.

  22. Doing laundry is coming his way soon, Sandy.
