I'm not going to get into it but according to this documentary there will be a cataclysmic event (galactic alignment) in 2012 that will end all life as we know it. Although I personally believe that this is bullshit, and that the History channel is a cesspool of conspiracy theories, it was interesting to watch and wonder why we continue to worry about meaningless things if we only have 4 years until we die. Why not just forget responsibility and live each day as if it were our last. Today I almost bought a airplane ticket to Dublin, I don't know why I stopped myself. In the greater scope of things $300 is nothing, and an adventure in Ireland is worth everything.<br />Why do we stop ourselves from following our desires?<br />I'm making a decision to stop controlling myself. Not worth it.<br /><br />Listening to:<br />Au Revoir Simone- The Bird of Music<br />(The lead singer has a lovely voice, and the songs are melodic and soothing)<br /><br />http://www.mediafire.com/?eyxzxiiyhmx<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PCdXZJrqkHerJOGQmjH7xpsiTuQeElci-XQCgOlXH7IIjYgD9xuQHTvDVtDHXK-ktoFgfGcslurBsykbpIDXJ3lnjoBzRt6l29yz8paH5hFbQpOIumGUzDmg8YNBTETC-X4Dwn6tBVex/s1600-h/Georges_de_La_Tour_007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-PCdXZJrqkHerJOGQmjH7xpsiTuQeElci-XQCgOlXH7IIjYgD9xuQHTvDVtDHXK-ktoFgfGcslurBsykbpIDXJ3lnjoBzRt6l29yz8paH5hFbQpOIumGUzDmg8YNBTETC-X4Dwn6tBVex/s320/Georges_de_La_Tour_007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308820202271483122" border="0" /></a>Georges de la Tour- <span style="font-style: italic;">Madonna at the Mirror<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>One of my favorite paintings, I love the placidity of the image.

This blog will pay homage not only to my musical escapades but also my somewhat non- sequitur train of thought. Perhaps when I gain access to a scanner I will be able to post my art on this as well, in theory that would be awesome, although I am not too sure on how avid I will be in my scanner pursuit ...we'll see.<br />In any case, enjoy.<br />On a side note, all the music files that I post are purely for sampling purposes. If you are a decent human being, which I hope that you are, you will actually go out and purchase whatever album you really fall in love with.<br /><br />What I have been listening to today:<br />- Hot Snakes- Automatic Midnight<br />(Some people like coffee in the morning, I prefer Hot Snakes for my bolt of energy)<br /><br />http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2G2YL6YS<br /><br />- Deerhunter- Microcastle<br />(Words cannot explain how happy this album makes me. For those who enjoy Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective, this is a sure fire hit)<br /><br />http://www.mediafire.com/?zcmkyezmmv1<br /><br />- A Certain Ratio- Early CD 1 and 2<br />(think of them as the musical spawn of Joy Division and James Brown)<br /><br />http://www.badongo.com/cfile/12795969<br /><br />- Mansun- Six<br />(really prog-rock and psych influenced, the album was totally underrated when it was first released which is a shame since the tunes and lyrics are eclectic and awesome)<br /><br />http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X8VW75QH<br /><br />And since it was a snow day:<br />Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong<br /><br />mmm... so good with some hot teaWe'll drift through it all, it's the modern agehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10069427295564303891noreply@blogger.com0
