And The School Year Begins (Again)

Is it just me, or does time seem to be flying by entirely too quickly? I wish it'd slow down at least just a little bit, I feel like I'm missing way too much around me and I'd rather not forget it all. There's just so many memories I'd like to keep but there's no more room. My mental space is filling up too quickly I think, I should probably just go ahead and stop being so nostalgic and make room for more, but why? I like the ones I have already, why can't I just keep them all? Tough luck I suppose, but enough with the metaphors, we've got bidness to take care of.

 Today marked the first day of the beginning of the school year, and unlike most of the kids my age, I was kind of excited. I laid out my clothes, phoned moms the night before, listened to some hype music... my social life/study habits are about to be on top this year (or at least that's what I keep telling myself). I've only been to two out of my five classes, and everything seems to be okay, but lets not speak too soon, again, it is only day one.

I'm guessing this'd be a good a time as any to humbly apologize for my hiatus, and to offically wave good bye to the summer behind us. It's been real though has it not? Our love affair was wonderful, but school's started baby and Autumn keeps calling my name. Don't worry, I'll be back next year. [End scene]

Now, image dump. And this time: gifs on gifs on gifs.

 
Oh, and peep the first day fit. Say it with me now, 
"swag to the maximum."
Okay, enough's enough. Till next time.

Audible Inventory

Sometimes it seems as if no matter what I'm doing, I always end of finding myself thinking about music. New music, old music, mainstream, completely unheard of...all of it. It's a mystery to me that I'm even able to concentrate on the simplest of task without having the urge to open up a new tab and listen to so and so's unofficial, unreleased greatest hits playlist. Speaking of tabs, I'm pretty sure I have at least 47 open right now, one of them being the almighty, untouchable, unconquerable itunes collection (yes all of that was necessary, and yes you can't compete). 

Second to my education and my unborn child (chill, no one's pregnant) my choice in music and private assembly of entire albums and accompanying artwork, is something that I'm seemingly proud of, regardless of whether everyone else chooses to agree or not. For me, music is one of those things where everyone gets free rain. No one should be able to make you feel bad for listening to this or nodding your head that. You choose what you want to hear, you can't help what you like right? 

In layman's term, I like to diversify and listen to a lot of different stuff, and as you might of guessed, my metaphorical plate is filled to the max with loads of varying metaphorical foods. As of right now there are about a dozen plus albums that I have yet to give a full listen to, so I figured, "hey, sharing is caring, put it on da blog." 
             
SBTRKT - SBBTRKT
Pollyn - This Little Night
Shabazz Palaces - Black Up
Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Breakbot - Happy Rabbit
Theophilus London - Timez Are Weird These Days
Tennis - Cape Dory
Jesse Boykins III - Way Of A Wayfarer
The Samps - Mexican Summer
Lil B - I'm Gay (I'm Happy)
Little Dragon - Ritual Union

Oh, also if you're interested (of course you are) I crafted a quick dubstep mix for a close relative of mine. She asked me to do it ages ago, but the important thing is is that the deed is done, so no fuss. I didn't have the time to do it all special like I do my other mixes, but the music is great so why not cop it anyway.
