I realized I'm so thankful that people made templates already...otherwise my blog would look just like my never-used myspace: bare and uninspired. Though, that's not far from the case with Myspace. I never caught on. Maybe someday I'll use it, make friends with my favorite musicians...or something. Facebook was always easier since most people at school already used that, but whatever. I'm trapped in the bubble mindset - it's infiltrated my being. At least I'm working on making change within that bubble.
My flight was canceled...furthering my distaste with traveling. Megabus is at least more reliable than that. Now I get to leave at 7 in the morning! I'm looking forward to staying up all night.
I can't even enjoy the night...well, that's figurative. I can't get messed up in any way, I might miss the flight. Why is traveling always such an ordeal?

post numero uno
It's thoroughly nerve-wracking to a)travel, b)choose a blog title/name/url, etc. Everything was taken - by blogs that hadn't been updated for a minimum of three years. So...they seriously archive these forever..?
DC tomorrow.
I need to see this movie - don't forget!
Frog River, it's called. Those tracks...if people appreciated that shit more. It seems to be huge in Japan, and certain small areas around the rest of the world, but I frequently hear reference to deep/acid/soulful house being huge in Japan. Damn. It would be so great to be in a space where a bunch of people were feeling that shit. wow. And to play for people who would...that would also be nuts. I often wonder, what if...?
tracks of the moment include:
(the A side of that second record he plays in that frog river clip).
That's enough for now...there's so many more. This will also be a music journal. I remember moments in my life by the songs I listened to/played.
Kerri Chandler's Atmosphere EP
Johnny Hammond - Fantasy
Loose Joints - All Over My Face (Love Dancing)
Charles Earland - Leaving This Planet (the namesake of the heading)
N.E.R.D - Love Bomb
Incognito's Tales from the Beach album
Unlimited Touch - I Hear Music in the Streets
Kuniyuki Takahashi - All These Things (album)
All These Things (Theo Parrish remix)
Sheila E - Glamorous Life
Jamiroquai - Little L
That's a bit lengthy, but there are some great songs I don't want to forget I have (it happens a lot). Oooo, Hold Tight just gives me chills, in a romantic...nightly, kind of summery-carefree kind of way. Kind of like last summer....
That's a whole other topic though, and I've talked about it far too much to go into it again. Not now.
I do love the WGRC. I went, though, and it was a hot mess. Dirty cups all over, the coffee-maker had a used filter left in it??? It was nice spending time there - it's really calming. I feel good having office hours - even if Becca is the only person to regularly frequent them. Rachel came last week, and Richie, surprisingly, hung out for a while tonight. It is my hope that people use that space more and more as time goes on, and we have a more coherent organization system.
I find that I'm really starting to politicize myself on campus...or at least, own my experience here and work toward the changes I want to see on campus. I'm living that damn Ghandi quote...I mean, it's great. I love it. It's just funny to me. I was all "how do you be the change you want to see in the world?" and now I am...it's just where my life is moving. I am feeling slightly more confident, and like I'm "filling my" shoes more every day. It's kind of good, kind of frightening - but I'm so swept up in it, I couldn't bother to think twice about what I'm doing. I am too intentional about everything, and live out my beliefs, naturally. At least, I feel that way - maybe it's not the case. I haven't figured my life out or anything...just a hypothesis.
btw, I love garlic.
Thanks for a good first post.
