I forgot to do an Endorsements post last Friday, so I will endorse two things today.

First, the best wakeup song ever. I use my phone as an alarm clock, as I’m sure lots of people do. And recently I remembered that I don’t have to use one of the stupid ringtones or alarm sounds that came with my phone. I could use music! And as I was scrolling through the songs on my phone, I found the perfect song. It’s really, really perfect.

It starts off really quiet, with just birds chirping. Then, the song quietly starts with a few strums of a guitar and the words,
“It’s six o’clock
the birds are singing.
I’m wide awake
But you’re still fast asleep”

Really, my alarm goes off at 6:09 (hey, every minute counts) but close enough.

By the time the song gets into full swing, about a minute in, you should be good and awake. Though it’s such a good song, it’s very tempting to hit snooze just so you can hear it again in nine minutes.

My second endorsement is for Parks and Recreation. I know, I’ve documented my love for it before. It’s the best show on TV. Why aren’t you watching it yet? Here are a few favorite clips…
