Long Time

Wow. It's been a long time since I've written anything. I'm hoping to change that and start writing more regularly. I suppose it should be a resolution of mine. I guess some updates are in order.

I've been really into mixtapes recently. Well, they're CD's but I prefer the term mixtape because there is something very old-school and organic about it and that's the way i've been doing them. I take a long time picking the songs and choosing the order that they're arranged. I also make CD booklets and covers and color them with crayons. There is something very theraputic about crayons. I highly reccomend everyone use them. I may post the tracklisting of some of them later, I really haven't decided. I wish that I could just post all of the songs but that probably is not very feasible. I had to laugh when my final in Communications was to create a mixtape that represented "who I was on the inside and who I was on the outside" because that's what I do for fun anyways. Yay for ridiculously easy classes!

I also want to learn how to DJ. It's incredibly difficult. I'm not ready to make the financial commitment so I've been working with a demo of some DJing software. I still have no idea what I'm doing. I think I'm gonna need someone to show me the ropes because I am not the kind of person to be able to teach myself this stuff. It should be interesting though, because I really do want it to be something I learn in the next year and a half.

I'm obsessed with a new band at the moment. Tiger Saw. They are a really really great funky, soulful band. They have three songs that I'm completely infatuated with; Distance, Kick and Snare, and The Big Bear Song are all very wonderful. Highly Highly reccomend that everyone checks them out.
