for a re-do on life, yesterday would have been it. Not everything, just the middle and the end. I need to learn how to handle stress better... not let it consume me and morph into this thing that causes panic attacks.

Worse, I don't regret opening up, I regret how I had to open up. Email would have been more effective.

A good start for my baseball team

A good grade in my class.

Signing up without problems tomorrow and having my schedule set up till next Spring.

Saving money.

Finding a roommate.

Regardless, this song's pretty nifty... a little rock diddy about well... i'm sure you've got the theme ( Read more... )

"When the Night Feels my Song" by Bedouin Soundtrack is... well a summer song before the summer has even began. Reggae done by a bunch of dudes from Canada... yet so brilliant. No really! If ya been ignoring these videos, check out at least this one bitches :D

One of the best songs written in modern times... but my choice for the night is not by the song's creators. Rather, it's Ryan Adams haunting, slower version that really gets me jazzed. It's either an ode to a great love . . . or feelings that forever remain unrequainted.
