Same Same - We Know Your Name

Well, school is moving along just fine. At least I think it is. My classes seem to be going better. I'm turning in all my homework on time. I even finished reading an entire book in two days just so I could keep up with my English teacher's lectures about the book. I've been procrastinating more than I should, but I'm still getting everything done. And I've managed to add helping my friends write their papers to my workload.

On an EXCITING note, I E-mailed my favorite writer from Rolling Stone, Vanessa Grigoriadis, and to my surprise, she E-mailed me back! I was so excited. I thought that it would probably take months, if not weeks, for her to get back to me, and she got back to me in 2 and a half hours. That type of shit doesn't happen everyday. So, that will definitely be an email that I will print and save.

Also, I've been listening to the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss CD, Raising Sand, and I think it is advisable that everyone listen to this CD. It's brilliant, authentic, and knows no lies. Buy it, download it (legally or illegally), and feast on brilliance.

Also, I quit my job at the UT Call Center because I got tired of calling mean, rich people and asking them for money. Plus, my boss hated me because I'd call in on an average of once a week, but I couldn't help it if I had other pressing engagements. Besides, it was the biggest joke of a job ever. I think everyone that worked there when I worked there will be gone in about two months anyways. I'm sorry Corporate America, but companies cannot survive unless you're good to your employees. Please, take that into consideration. We are people, not labrats.

Also, another band to check out is The Vox Jaguars. I have to review their cd for KVRX and it's a pretty good EP. I'm curious to see how their first LP is going to pan out. Very exciting...

Well, that's all I got for now. Peace and prosperity!
