Muse


September is finally here. That means a number of things in my world, new released music artists, House M.D. and school. Although For Emma, Forever Ago and The Script are my two favorite albums of the year, a new batch of music is coming out very soon.

Muse is releasing their new album on The Resistance. After enjoying international success with its watershed album, 2006's Black Holes and Revelations, Muse returned to the studio with exponentially increased expectations. The result is the band's eagerly anticipated new album, The Resistance. I find it strange to think that they could ever change the theme song from Dr.Who as the original is a classic. But, a new age and new times. Please preview this album on iTunes.

Again, I have to stress on how AWESOME The Script is. Their one year debut anniversary is coming up. WAHOOOO.

Unbelievable....

I'm on my way to bed and a friend sent me an email to this link....Danyl Johnson's performance at x-factor. This is unbelievable, a quiet unassuming school teacher turns out to be a complete tiger onstage.

I have goosebumps all over my body. WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!! Simon Cowel actually stood up for a standing ovation.

A Grey Day


Today I woke up, stretched and felt at odds with the world around me. I looked outside and saw a dark dreary grey day. I couldn't help but feel as grey inside as it was outside. Regardless, of how I felt in that instant I knew the day would pick up. I would see a smiling child or a happy couple and be reminded of why I am here on this earth.

I got dressed in my most comfortable jeans (khaki Levi's, they fit just right) and in my favorite cowboy shirt. On the outside i was dressed for success....yet still feeling blue.

Looking good feels good, fake it until you make it right?

I throw a new mix onto my ipod and eclectic mix of Bon Iver's for Emma, forever ago (for the lonely), Eminem relapse (for the angry), and finally some Colby Callait (for the happy).

As i walk my usual walk to get to work I'm reminded of how much it feels like fall time. I get a rush of emotion, the sights and smells reminding me of the impending school year. I'm looking forward to it with timid apprehension. Does that even make sense? Well there you have it....It is early August and fall has arrived.
