Once again, a summer has come and gone and I'm back up to good ol' Murfreesboro. I've missed this place. I really have. I've missed all my friends. I've missed living on my own. It really feels good to be back up here. Getting used to living in an apartment instead of the dorm really isn't that hard, quite easy actually. The funny thing is, that a ton of people who I lived around last year have moved into the same apartment complex as me, so it really doesn't feel too different.
Unfortunately, looking for a job is still incredibly hard/borderline impossible. So far I've had ZERO luck but I'm still optimistic towards finding one. If any of you guys has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know. I'd love some advice.
As good as it feels to be with my friends up here, I still feel kind of torn from all the people back home that I had grown close to this summer but hey, that's just life I guess.
Honestly, I'm ready for classes to start. I've been up here for a week already and have found myself being super bored sometimes. Even though I'm ready for classes at this point, I'm not necessarily ready for the workload to start up again, but I'll just suck it up and do it as always.
I figured I'd just give you guys a little update so I'm trying to keep this post fairly short. I'll end it by telling you guys about a band that I found out about just a few days ago. Warpaint is an all girl, Los Angeles-based band that has pretty much been on repeat since I first heard them. Their music can best be described as ambient, ethereal rock/pop. That's how I hear it at least. I honestly couldn't tell you exactly why I like their music so much, it just gets stuck in my head (in a good way). There are two main singers in Warpaint, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell because they basically sound the same. Their voices never really do anything crazy, yet there's a sort of hypnotic sense to them. Its just cool sounding music to me. Enjoy!

Almost There
Well, that time of year is coming around again. The time when you're preparing to go off to college again. Its a strange time, indeed. Most of your hometown friends are already at college, which makes you look ahead to connecting with your college friends yet again. You look back on what (if anything) you've accomplished this summer and all the old friends you meant to hang out with but never found the time to. Then you feel guilty for not seeing said friends all summer. Finally, you just prepare your mind for getting back into the swing of classes, homework, and job searching (and hopefully finding).
I've already said my goodbyes to many of my close friends and accepted the fact that I probably won't see them until Christmas break. Just like last summer. That said, I am incredibly excited to get back up to MTSU and see all my friends and move into my apartment. Dang, that sounds weird. MY apartment. It makes me feel like an actual adult. Let's face it though, I probably won't actually think of myself as an adult for another few decades. Its a fun thought though.
Its been a good summer though. I had a good job and I worked hard at it. That, probably more than anything else, was what I'm most proud of this summer. Even though there were a lot of people that I had meant to hang out with but never did, I still got to be with my closest friends quite a bit. I wish I had the chance to be with my siblings more though, but I guess that's just what happens when they all live in different states. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait until Thanksgiving break.
Its pretty much a given that everyone knows who John Lennon is (hopefully), but have you ever listened to his son Sean? If not, allow me to remedy that. Sean Lennon has been doing his solo thing for a while, but a few years ago he began a project entitled Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, which conveniently spells out GOASTT. This project is just Sean and Charlotte Kemp Muhl, a model-turned-singer-turned Sean's girlfriend. I first heard them once again on NPR about a year ago and had listened to them on and off since then. Last week though, I finally got some of their music and I really haven't been able to stop listening to it. Their style is like a quirky and cerebral kind of folk. The only way I can think to describe Sean's lyrics are whimsical, scientific, but with some sort of historical significance. They're very strange, to say the least, but a good sort of strange. Sean's voice sounds eerily similar to his father's, which is even weirder because they look almost identical (except Sean has some Asian in him from Yoko). Charlotte's voice is soft and soothing and it meshes incredibly well with Sean's. Enjoy!
