Spring is on the Horizon!

I am so excited that Spring Break is finally here. My badass professors declared that school does not need to be attended tomorrow; however, my bullshit math professor is having class on Friday, and since I skipped today, I have to go on Friday. Wah Wah Wah.

Anyways, I am mucho excited that South by Southwest is going to be here next week. Free booze, free shows, and free fun. However, I always reach a dilemma when it comes to the free booze aspect of it because most places that provide free booze only provide beer. Sorry, but not everyone likes beer. I think it tastes like piss and shit with a hint of sunshine to add something special. It's okay, I'll buy a bottle of some obscure liquor that I'll end up sharing with everyone, and end up going broke once again.

Lately I have been listening to Devendra Banhart's Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. My goodness, it is such a good CD. Don't you love it when a singer/songwriter that you have an intellectual crush on keeps getting better and better as they progress with age? Well Mr. Banhart is doing it and doing it well. My favorites are Seahorse, Bad Girl, Saved, Lover, Carmensita, and the sad, but soulful, I Remember. This is a good CD to listen to when you are home alone and need something calming and jamming at the same time to get you through the lonely hours. LOVE IT!

Well, peeps, I am on a high that cannot be brought about with narcotics. I suggest everyone feel the same. Peace and love!

Good News

Wow, it's so strange when you can feel the changes in the air.  Things are moving along so fast, that i don't even have time to stop and see where it's all going.  My friend Sarah just broke the news to me yesterday that she's moving to California to be with her man and start her life.  I'm happy for her, but damn, I'm gonna miss that girl.  

My family is doing excellent and even got my brother to go on a religious retreat with them, which only proves the power of God overrules everything.  

One of my best friends is moving to Egypt in a few months to study abroad. 

I am more than ever determined to go to NYU once I finish school here in Austin.  

ALSO, on an excellent note.  I actually got to do a phone interview with Vanessa Grigoriadis, my favorite writer from Rolling Stone, for a story for my journalism class.  WTF!!!!  She was THE SHIT!  If you don't read Rolling Stone, you should read it just for her features because every story she does, you cannot help but be intrigued.  In the past issue, she did a feature on Taylor Swift.  Personally, I don't like Taylor Swift, but the story was still amazing.  She can do no wrong.  Check her out...NOW.

Lately, I've been listening to The Heartless Bastards cd, Stairs and Elevators.  It's excellent, cool, straight-up rock n' roll.  Love it.  

That's all I got.  Peace.
