The new National Geographic series "Hard Time" is quickly becoming one of the highlights of my week. It follows inmates and guards/workers in a Georgia state prison for a year, each episode so far has focused on different inmates and different guards and what got them in prison, their status in the prison, daily lives, struggles, etc. It's a very ( Read more... )

My house is usually united, I live with both my parents and my older sister Diana, for the most part there is harmony but like every other family we sometimes argue and can't stand each other ( Read more... )

I got me some stuff:

I passed school, I thought I was going to fail accounting but I pulled through. my GPA is going to be considerably lower though. I find it hard to take school seriously and it bothers me but I can't quite figure out why. It's hard to explain; I want to do good, but at the same time I don't feel motivated to do most of the work assigned. It's futile ( Read more... )

He took some single portraits too but he hasn't started on those yet. My shot was of me doing a left elbow "hook" (basically throwing a left hook but ( Read more... )

He was very fun to see too, hopping all over the place and the music was a lot more atmospheric and interesting live than it is on the albums and the songs were a lot longer as well ( Read more... )

Enanitos Verdes are playing Irving Plaza on Nov 10th!! This is the first band I ever considered myself a fan of, so many memories. I already pre-ordered a ticket, this for me is huge.
For the first time ever I'm happy I am subscribed to an e-mail newsletter. Amon Amarth plays Oct 20th, I should go to that too.

They really need to tour. I want to see them live pretty badly. They haven't toured in 2 years.

I'm off to work the first football sunday at the bar. Apparently they ran out of wings during Thursday's NFL opening game. If this happens today we'll have a lot of angry customers. See ya.

I got accepted into the school of Business at Montclair. I wasn't sure if my grades were going to be good enough to make it before the fall semester but I barely made it. Now I can try to squeeze into closed classes since I'm given a slight priority over non-business majors. Right now I only have 3 classes I'm registered for since one was recently ( Read more... )

So, make fun of me if you will, but I really like Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" album and I know it's heavily influenced by older groups but I don't know where to look for such stuff. Matt, help me out? Or anybody else... give me artists and if you can, specific albums that defined this style of music. Thanks! Preferably female artists... I'm ( Read more... )
