2007 - part 1

So, here's a temporary template of temporariness for the new year of 2007.

I was able to keep all of my archives and information intact, so that should be good news for everyone involved.

2006 was an interesting year. I wrote a book of poetry, designed an entire image for a bar and its new sister bar, dated a few people that had a big effect on me and met some interesting new people that could have an even greater effect on me.

I have no resolutions, as those are useless and typically easy to break from. I just want to write more music and listen to more music. Last year, I found a ton of new bands and really have loved the music that I'm writing. yea.

I was at the gym last night, and I've begun listening to my ipod while I work out - it helps me focus on something else during break periods, and also keeps me from chatting with friends too much.

The first semester at my school, I was in a photography class. During our lab time, someone was playing a CD by The Stills, which was okay but had JUST the right mood for that period of time. Oddly enough, my friend Amanda had given me the CD a month or so earlier, so it was already on my ipod. Anyway, at the same time, I was printing pictures of J - someone I was dating. A few weeks later, we were broken up and I was pretty devastated about it - that album became the anthem for that whole ordeal, and I haven't really been able to listen to it since.

So recently it comes on my new ipod (which I set to shuffle) and I don't pay much mind, but then at the gym, it came on, and everything hit me at once. It didn't make me sad or anything, but it brought me back to the beginning, when I was in the photo lab, and someone just played a random CD that was just laying there, and I was printing photos of J while it was new and exciting.

Music can be a bitch sometimes.

Anywho - this is my first post of 2007 - many more will follow. I hope you all leave more comments this year - that should be your resolution ;-). Bradd, Julie, David - I'm talking to you guys!

xoxo

I enjoy the new layout. Have you abandoned the one-word title rule?

And apparently now you have a shoutbox? I don't know what that is, but I do expect you to use it at all times.

Tau-tau received quite the New Year's gift - she ran into Dwayne Gilmore. Remember that bitch?!?!!! God I hated his ass.

And happy new year to you, love!
