Conclusions of the Week (1/30/10)
Saturday, January 30th, 2010- I so do not want to work in a traditional corporate environment! Right now, it doesn’t matter much because of my age, but in the long run, I am sure I’d be quite miserable. Even better, I think I’d like to work from home-ish, in the sense that I set my own hours or work in a place that is very flexible. Academia, you say? Maybe, but academia has its own set of problems and politics that I’m not sure I want to navigate. Actually, this realization more or less lines right up with what I ultimately want to do with my life and be known for (I won’t say it here just yet, because that goal is years and years off — 10, maybe 15 years in the future).
- If I am going to start writing, I have to do it now! I want to call myself a ‘writer’ so much, not for fame or anything like that, but because if I don’t write, my head is going to explode. I’d make music if I could, or paint, or sculpt, or dance, but those are not my mediums. Words and stories pound against the inside of my skull and they must get out! I’ve mentioned before that there is a block as solid as a brick wall preventing me from writing . . It’s gotten less solid over the past few weeks, but that’s taking too long. I’ve been telling myself that I just don’t know quite enough about the craft, but that’s BS. I can learn the technical stuff as I go along and hone my voice. In fact, that’s how I learn just about everything else, why should this be any different? No more waiting! To that end, tomorrow I am going to write a 1 page work of . . . something. I don’t know what, but it’s going to come out.
- Weigh in: 196.2 Woot!
- I love this song:
Final Day of Music
Saturday, November 14th, 2009Today is the last music day! I’m going to finish up with a song that I adore. It’s Ted by Clark. This song conjures up so many images in my mind; it’s one of those songs that tells a story without words to me. I think it’s way too short. I wish it had say three more minutes. Without further ado, Enjoy!
Music Day 6
Friday, November 13th, 2009Happy Friday! My first week at work has been a blast! I’ll probably put up a post about it tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Today’s video Courtship Dating from Crystal Castles. This song popped up on my Pandora station about a year ago, and every time I heard it, I couldn’t get the beat, and the lyrics out of my head for days, but it wasn’t a bad thing for once. I hope you like it as well. Enjoy!
Singing in the Rain!
Thursday, November 12th, 2009This is a fairly recent discovery of mine. It’s Singing in the Rain from Mint Royale. I love this video, and the song has earned itself active rotation in my iPod. Enjoy!
First of First
Monday, November 9th, 2009Today was my first day at my first post-grad job! A post detailing it will come shortly, but right now I’m more tired than I thought I’d be.
Today’s song is Days Go By from Dirty Vegas. I first heard this song in a commercial long ago, I think it was for some car. I’d hear snippets of it every once in a while, but could never catch the title or artist. I eventually forgot about it, until it plays on one of my Pandora stations. (I looove Pandora!)
Enjoy!
Music Week
Sunday, November 8th, 2009That’s right, this week, I’m going to share some of my favorite music. You may have noticed my featured video to the left, that I change up from time to time. While that may not always be music, I thought I would dedicate one whole week to music here on the old blog.
First up: Rendez-Vu from Basement Jaxx. Most of their music makes me want to get up and dance, this is no exception. Now, this isn’t my favorite song of theirs, but it’s the perfect one to start the week.
Enjoy!
