to date, i have pumped roughly 3,320 gallons of 76 gas. roughly put in 58,240 nonacademic searches into google. so what kind of subconscious ninja would it take to break me away from brand loyalty and habit?

blizzcon transcendentalism

there are few things that are as transcendental as music. everyone can enjoy a good beat. it's a universal language without words, infinitely more popular and understood than esperanto by any measure. it invokes nationalism, sorrow, joy, and when you're in the club, it brings out the moves. there is music that will complement any type of mood. you can listen to erik satie while enjoying a gallery full of degas or bump up some metallica when you hit the dunes on that atv. alternatively, you could be doing absolutely nothing but watching stallone blast the burmese militia away to the first blood theme or watch leo and kate make hanky panky to 'my heart will go on.'

nothing to boost your aromatherapy like some soothing music. nothing to max out your emo like dashboard confessionals. sit for a minute and think of the mood you're in and what you want to listen to. change up your tuneskies and see how your mood changes. put on your favorite songs and think of what memories they bring up.

ready, set,

my goals for this year were discovering and honing my passions and, in spirit of the recession, downsizing - really trimming the fat. i've done a great job of the former, and a half decent job of the latter, but it seems my work load has increased. projects seem to multiply quicker than mrsa on a petri dish so it's high time to implement the brilliant up or out of the cravath system. 6 monthsish per venture to reach the next stage or out. my weakness is persistence, the last man standing. so here's me drawing hampers to throw the towel in.
