Pandora

I've been listening to Pandora for most of the day. I have it set up to "Au Revoir Simon" radio. They are one of my favortite groups. Three ladies with Casio's and beautiful songs. I got to see them in the city earlier this year, spectacular. I think the best thing about Pandora is that it play songs you probably are going to love but never heard before. I think listening to a song without know the lyrics or the refrain coming up, whatever, is so much better. It's kind of how life should be, just beautiful suprises. A few of my favorties: Ingrid Michaelson Radio, Bluegrass Radio, Wu-Tang Clan Radio. I've never really been one to learn or study an artist, I like to experience their art without much delving into who these people are. I feel like art is more for us to reflect on ourselves then try to figure out what someone is trying to tell us. The ambiguty of the artists on Pandora is really great for that

Is it Monday yet?

I met this girl at my job last sunday. I was bartending and she was one of the photographers for the wedding. It's weird when you catch someones eye and both of you just sort of think the same thing, and you both know it. Numbers were exchanged and we've got plans to meet up in the city on monday. Im pretty excited about it. So excited in fact that it's hard to do anything (lets say knock out a bunch of blogs). I got cheap tickets to go see avenue q which i hear is pretty awesome, but other than that i think were just going to figure the day out as it goes along. this is my first day off in so long and i just want it to be over

TOOOO CUTE ! Hahaha never know children are listen. But this is my last blog had a good time in this class , I learned a lot and I appreciate it !

9- 5

Well the the heat wave is OVERRRR! thank you the rain started falling yesterday. But any who Yesterday was an interesting day I worked my first 9 to 5 office job. Pretty much I was filing papers , using excel, copying and working on a project for weight lose for patients. FYI I work in a Doctors office. And its cool a nice comfy job , that is relaxed.
But I do not know if a 9- 5 for me , I feel like Im missing excitement! So maybe the office job is not necessary for me but hey I still got 3 more years of this college thing at least for me to decided. Hopefully I will be able to figure out what direction I want to go, and will be able to become an owner of a company in the field I am interested.

On the 7th day

Well it's Friday night ( Sat morning technically) and tommorow is my first day off in a loooong time. I'm going to try to knowck as many of these out as I can. I'm not sure if i"ll make it to 50 but I hope that this is more of a qualatative assignment rather than quantatative. I've tried pretty hard to really write about things that are important to me, but everyone else has as well for the most part. I intend to sleep for as long as my body will allow tongiht, which I'm assuming with be near comatose. I think they said it might rain tommorow which is a shame because I still haven't been to the beach once this year. I lived in the midwest, landlocked, for a couple of years and not being able to see the ocean was always my biggest complaint. I'd better get out there soon!

50th

And this post makes 50. I have to say that this class has been rather interesting and very much unlike other classes I've taken at Stony Brook.

I learned much in the short time we had. I'm going to attempt to keep up with some photoshop work because I think it could be beneficial to me in the future.

Sketch-up and I had some difficulties, and I can't really see myself using it in the future, but I imagine someone benefited from it.

Flash was interesting and I wish I had been able to spend more time on it because we really only got to skim the surface of it and I think there is so much more I could accomplish with it. Maybe I'll end up taking a course on it.

Well I hope everyone enjoys their summer. Mine officially starts now!

Music

Last week, I went to see the James Taylor/Carole King concert. It got me thinking about the state of the recording industry today. Would a woman like Carole King be able to find success today? I'm just not sure. She didn't have a gimmick back in the day. She was a songwriter who tried her best to become a performer also.

If she came out today, I don't think we would have gotten an album like Tapestry. Or we would have, but a hot chick would be singing all of the songs. It's unfortunate, but that appears to be the state that we're in.

This is part of the reason why Lady GaGa is trying to be so outrageous. Without all of her craziness, would people have taken notice of her? If she got rid of all the gimmicks today, she'd be fine and still be successful, but starting out, no one would have ever given her the time of day.
