So I found myself reading The Bednar blog the past few days. Remembering the times I used to blog. Since I kinda want to start over this is new and my old one will sit in an a dark internet corner for eternity probably.
On to new things now. New year, new ideas, new opportunities, and other various new things. When I reflect on the past year, I notice a lot of changes to my life, good and bad. Good, loosing my unhealthy relationships. Yeah, loosing is the correct term as they were not voluntary on my part, which is mostly why I am not bitter about it all. It gets to me but I end up being rational about it. I guess my sisters know some about what's best for me (both telling me their feelings last year about my choices in females) With that loss I gained new and good friendships, and a closer tie with the more important aspect in my life, yeah that's right the big GOD. It's been a year of noticing new things about him and even old things renewed.
I have also noticed a strong change in my musical tastes, singer-songwriter types and even dabbling in some bluegrass and folk. While my main genera is still "indie" music, which in turn is too broad to categorize with one word, I've found an appreciation for different generas never before listened to. Things such as trance and even some mainstream radio rock, oh my goodness. Part of this is due to my new roommate who I believe I have been blessed with by Him. Crazy story, if you haven't heard it let me know I'll post later with it. Let me just say that it fell into my lap like usual but this one had more fruit on the tree. The tree/roommate/Jacob was also more mature than my past roommates which is a huge plus. Not only does he help keep the room clean (I'm no longer solo on the cleaning), he listens to great music. While we don't agree on everything (who does) we have strong similarities it good.
Ok, now I have gotten started on music. While I could probably type a 50 page dissertation on music just in the past year, I'm not mostly because it might end up being very prideful and because I'm lazy. At the moment I'm chilling to Daphne Loves Derby album (Good Night Witness Light) which is amazing. I would say singer-songwriter meets indie rock and maybe mix in some "emo". It's poppy but smooth, sappy but mature, sweet but raw. If any of that makes sense.
Well, I'm just going to leave it at one CD for now. I might start letting people who read this know about the music I'm listening to so they can join in the fun, woo.
Big news if you don't know. Friday I'll be on a plane all day (timezone change included) flying from GSP to Newark to Berlin. Yay for Eastern Europe, which I credit for most of last centuries history from Germany (WWI and WWII) to Russian (Cold War and Communism, need I say more) I think the latter has the most repercussions, stretching from South America to South East Asia, and Eastern Europe to Central Asia and even parts of Africa. Basically affecting every continent but Antarctica. While I won't be going to Russia I will be seeing some of the nations behind the Iron Curtain. So here I come Eastern Europe.
Future update, I don't have one right now. That's scary, and hard to swallow. Knowing that I'm not in control helps but I can't get lazy. I'm still wanting to figure out which direction I need/want to go in, school or job. The possibilities are endless and that is what sucks. I guess I would be a good poster child for Erskine, "the possibilities are endless after you graduate" in fact "the possibilities are overwhelming and tough to sort out" well I would leave out the last part but still you get the picture.
Signing off. Hasta La Vista Readers
