Starting '09 Early


so it's one twenty-six on a tuesday morning. i am typing this as i eat macaroni and cheese given to me by my friend nicole across the hall. i have a final in ten hours. i took an accounting final and an arabic final earlier today that i was, and also twenty-four hours ago, i ordered these shoes. no matter how shitty exams are, i win.  i've not been getting much sleep latey because of staying up cramming or staying up for staying up's sake. I'm about to start taking notes for my itec class, but i'm so dead tired, i'm not sure i can even stay awake. 

i've decided that's it's 2009 for me now because i feel like it, so i'm deleting some older posts, and depending on how it all reads collectively, i might just make this the first entry or something. the first half of my soph yr is over, plus a lot of things are coming to a close or starting new for me, so i'm ff a little.. i didn't write much yet anyway, plus i'd like to refocus the blog.

Nike Blazer Mid SB Elite: Lance Mountain x Craig Stecyk. this is the second Nike SB x Mountain x Stecyk collabo blazer--the first being the orange pair. these are elites though, meaning they're made of premium materials and shit..real leather, not patent, suede, and a red quilt inside. they're really simple, but they look hard.


i know everyone's probably heard at least some of it already, but 808s and Heartbreak is a good album. people avoid it because they hear it's autotune, but it's worth listening to. if you know the concept behind it, it's easier to appreciate. it was based off kanye learning that autotune is a very effective tool for communicating emotion, and kanye combined that with new ideas to make something respectable outside the realm of hip-hop. kanye also said that people knocking ideas suppresses other people's creativity, especially if it's something the other person likes or really wants to do. decide for yourselves whether you like it or not, don't take other people's word for it or judge it because it might not sound like what you're used to.

speaking of music, i've been downloading a lot lately. three 6 mafia, ugk, justice, boys noize, etc...to name a few..i'm really liking the justice album..anyone that likes electronic or just wants to listen to something new should check it out..it's called cross.
