It’s week ten. I’ve gotten past midterms. The post before this (minus all the ones I slid in to fill up space) is dated March 20th. It’s October 28th. At least I managed to get back to this poor neglected blog before the year went out, right? I’m not going to make excuses; quite frankly school is the most important thing in my life, but this blog has suffered. And don’t get me wrong! I have been listening! I have been keeping my ear to what’s really good out there and I’ve done a little pushing on Twitter/Facebook and whatnot. Anyone who’s hit me up (e-mail wise) has gotten a response from me and a thorough listen. Unfortunately, one thing I couldn’t put out is a thorough review. Outlines in point form only go so far.
Anyways.
What’s good with me now? Well, I can’t help but wake up at 4:59AM every morning (yes, including Saturday and Sunday mornings), just moments before my alarm can go off. I’m sure the ungodly jolt I was getting every bright September morning was the cause of that. I’ve got five more weeks to go, one final, and that’s it until the new year! I can’t wait to sleep in, at least until 7AM. I graduated officially from high school with honours this past Sunday (October 23rd), so I’d like to first and foremost give a huge shoutout to the class of twenty-eleven!
Where’ve I been, besides school? Well…I went from Montréal.
…To London.
…And then ended up in Paris.
…Only to end up about a month later in Brooklyn for Labour Day Weekend with my pops.
So boom. There you have it. That’s what I’ve done these past few months. Worked (read: slaved), travelled, and did the school flow. That’s it. Seriously.
As far as the blog is concerned, I’m very serious about picking it back up (I didn’t pay ten bucks for a domain for nothing, that money could’ve been spent on food!) Direction wise, I know I’m not going to get far just doing music reviews. It’s impossible. Yes, I love music and whatnot, but is that going to hold my interest for too long? No. I’m not going to lie about it, s’what’s real. I’m looking to get out with my camera more, run around and make friends, and get more personal with this. Day by day I’m piecing more and more things together (you’ll always find that pink Moleskine Volant on me now), and as soon as the stress from school dies down, who knows what might happen.
Until then, I’ll see you in five weeks.
