Follow away, gang. Follow away. This blog is officially dead.
Throwing out a couch that's been with you through two apartments over the course of nearly half a decade. Except singing "Good" by Better Than Ezra while you do it.
The first song I ever played on college radio was "Sureshot" by Yellowcard. It was September 2002. Right around 1am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. Yup. I had the "cool kid" shift.
I was so nervous as I was introducing the song that the second I shut off the mic, I dashed to the bathroom across the hallway to vomit. But it was totally worth it.
Tonight's Playlist Thus Far...
The Lawrence Arms - Buttsweat & Tears EP The Bouncing Souls - Ghosts on the Boardwalk Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
"Weird Al" Yankovic performing a style parody of Foo Fighters.
And... He fucking nailed it.
Packing up an old apartment that you loved living in feels the way Into It. Over It. sounds.
Duly noted with the follows for the new blog. I'll be following a bunch of people I like anyway who may have missed it. Whatever.
I'll be starting that new one when I'm back from the move.
New beginnings, motherfucker. New beginnings.
People keep asking why I buy albums if I already have them on my iPod. I don’t buy albums to play them, I buy albums to have the physical presence of the album in front of me, it’s an amazing feeling you don’t understand.
excellent
I'm going to abandon this blog. And take a more focused, personal approach. Something focused on growth, memories, music, and comedy. Just for me. Also? I started writing a short story tonight. Between that and a talk with a friend... It's time to re-focus. Let me know if you want my new one.

Walking through my soon-to-be-old neighborhood listening to Less Than Jake. This band sounds like nostalgia as it's happening.
Lana Del Ray is the Kristen Stewart of glam-indie-folk or whatever.
The "Timber" part is phenomenal. Also? Gotye. And Foster the People.
