I'm about to embark on a most excellent adventure.

I just bought Donald Passman's All You Need To Know About The Music Business. this should be a good... however long it takes me to read this.

p.s.-name that movie.

The Truth.

"You ever notice that the Food Network is far more interesting when you're hungry? When you're full you're like, 'This is stupid.' But when you're hungry the Food Network's like porn. You're like, 'Oh, yeah, whip it up baby. Make it for me.'" -Jim Gaffigan

26 Letters, 12 Notes.

The name of the new Dave Mason record. I was driving with my mom and they played a song off that record and mentioned the name. I don't listen to Dave Mason, but regardless, that's probably the most epic name for an album/band/song/book/anything I've ever heard, and in general, it's a mind blowing concept.

All articles, novels, stories, poems, speeches and lyrics are based off a mere 26 letter alphabet. with the same 26 letters you can portray anything you want. with the same 26 letters you can express extreme happiness, sadness, love, or fear. with the same 26 letters you can become insanely successful or be bound for failure.

The 12 notes concept is a little different to me. I just think it's crazy that every single song ever written, no matter the genre, when it was written, or who wrote it is based off the concept of notes. it's truely what brings all forms of music together.

These two things together are truely something powerful. 38 things that can change the world. how you choose to handle this power, however, is completely up to you. so go write a song. write a book. express your freedom. alter the way people think. change the world. all it takes is 26 letters, 12 notes.

I'm tired of never getting anywhere

Hear that song in your mind,
Play it loud, it's alright
Cause you've got nothing to hide
Yeah it's all in your mind
Lay it out, you've got time
You've got something inside

I'm silly

so I wanted this blog to be more serious, but this is hilarious and I feel the need share it. at least with anyone who actually reads this.

my mom told me today about how the first time she took me to the library I was very fascinated by the fact that they had drinking fountains. I didn't care about the books, just the drinking fountains.

hope I put a smile on your face.

Scared of what the world would hold

tomorrow my family minus my little brother is going down to check out ISU because my sister's probably going there. all I have to say is, when the fuck did we grow up? it feels like last week we were making forts under the coffee table in my family room. it's times like these where I think about the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the quote from that movie "life moves pretty fast. if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." I'm in such a hurry to grow up. I need to embrace my childhood while I still can.

First blog

I decided to make a blogspot, obviously.. uh, I don't really have much to put in here at the moment. I don't have a very exciting life, but I'll write when I'm feeling deep. Peace easy.
