Akron family is soooo amazing. Their new album is incredible! Tyler downloaded it a few days ago and we listened to it more than a few times on our way to and from Norfolk this weekend. It is so different than this album, not better or worse, just as amazing and in a completely different way. I highly recommend checking it out ( Read more... )

Spring dropped in today, and what a day it was! I need to move somewhere that perpetually has weather such as todays because it makes everything feel absolutely perfect. Clayton came over and woke me up this afternoon and we left around 2 for what became the longest walk of my life. It was incredible. We walked to the Virginia War Memorial on ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm always tired! The Ayruveda identifies this as depletion of rasa and recommends soaking 5 fresh dates in water over night, taking the seeds out in the morning, blending them with a half cup of milk, drinking the shake, and eating nothing for 2 hours afterwards. Hmmm... might be worth a try, though I think some good old fashioned ( Read more... )

I was reading over some old journal entries and realized something wonderful. I don't miss me. I don't miss me! It seems, upon reflecting back to past times, that I have always missed myself, a present version, a past version, I've always had this strange sense that I was slipping away from me. For the first time in my life, I do not miss myself. I ( Read more... )

I know that my last entry was about a song, but this one is really exciting too. Eeeffrz is an endeavor that Tyler, Yusuf, and I took on while Yusuf was still here. It is basically just a product of us getting together and in the words of the late Mr. Leary, turning on, tuning in, and dropping out, so to speak. I think this song is my favorite of ( Read more... )

I'm really excited about the song I just put on myspace. You should check it out. Feedback is more than welcomed. www.myspace.com/thisiskatmorgan

I was just looking through old livejournal entries and couldn't figure out why there weren't any from 2008. Duh! Because I haven't updated since December. This is by far the longest break I have taken from writing in here in the (almost) 6 years I've had it. Such a long time to participate in such a thing. A few days ago I got into a conversation ( Read more... )

Christmas was wonderful. As always my parents went completely overboard and my brother and sister and I loved every single second of it. I've really got to give my mother and father credit. They have ALWAYS, without fail, made Christmas time a truely magical time of year. I hope they know how fortunate I feel for their efforts. I don't know any two ( Read more... )

An hour ago my Pappy asked me if I was still in contact with that one boy who came over last year and played my Dad's banjo along with one of my songs. I didn't remember it, but he told me that I had played a new song and that the boy had never heard it before but played along beautifully and afterwards he and my Pappy got to talking about banjo ( Read more... )

I don't know what it is about this song but I have been entirely obsessed with it recently. I must listen to it at least 5 times everyday. After it ends I have to listen to it again. There is something about the final notes that force me into a state where I can only think about hearing the whole thing again from the beginning. Anyone who has been ( Read more... )
