posted on 21.01.10 I promise I’m going to start posting again

I really suck at posting when I’m at school. I’ll get better at this, or at least I’ll try.

Hopefully you’ll be thankful for that

So as many of you may remember from the last time I posted one of these, with each school year and summer, I create what is essentially “soundtrack” for that time.
How these playlists come to be:
I don’t make them all at once. I let them come together over the span of time.
Songs on here are reflective of how I was feeling at a particular time. Some are random songs that came up on shuffle that felt right for the time and the mood I was in. Some were my soundtracks to a long walk. Some were just playing in the background of a really memorable night or experience.
This list IS NOT supposed to flow like a good mixtape or anything, the artists are not supposed to work together, it’s just the songs that made up my semester.
Regardless of all their origins, I can tell you a story behind each and every one of these, the songs that defined my semester. It’s 36 songs, and it’s only half the year.
Enjoy.

Die Laughing was so well done and pulled off phenomenally. The Kevin Bright crew should be proud!
This is the stage, complete with the logo I designed for them in lightbulb form!
Congrats guys!

I was just laying here in my bed, after writing for probably about 9 hours give or take. Being near delirious, I realized that my blurred view of the white lights in the common looks like a field of stars. I told Kate, who was amazed by my discovery and felt overjoyed.
Then I told Kevin, who asked me if I was on acid.
Oh well. I still like this idea.
