Its Been a While

So, I haven't updated in quite a while. I got kinda busy with exams and the end of school and whatnot, and since then I've kinda been relaxing. I've enjoyed spending time with the family, and eating good food. I've seen some old friends, and that's been pretty sweet. Really its just been a nice break from classes.

In other news, I just got back this afternoon from Charleston. Sleep Set (minus Dave) met in Goose Creek for an intense three-day (not weekend) writing/brainstorming session. It was a lot of fun and pretty productive. I have a pretty good feeling about what we're doing as a group. We seem to be making music that we can be proud of and actually enjoy ourselves. Definitely worth the time and energy being put in.

So, that's the break so far. I've still got a week. But right now, I'm going to go enjoy my New's Years Eve. So, here's to a happy and blessed new year to everyone out there. I hope we all make the most of it.

Spilled Milk and Finals


So, for an advertising project, I got to spill a bunch of milk all over my parent's kitchen table and do a photo shoot. I'll be honest, it was pretty fun. I mixed in a bunch of flour to thicken the milk and make it photograph a little better. Hopefully the ads will come out alright. Its part of my final project grade in Ad Principles.

Speaking of finals, this is the week. A week from tomorrow, the semester will be over, and I can't wait. It has been pretty tough at times, but I think I learned a lot, at least about myself. I'm still not where I should be in a lot of ways, but I think I might be on my way.

This Sunday is a show that I've been looking forward to since I found out about it back in like August. Kevin Devine, All Get Out, and....wait for it....Manchester Orchestra. Manchester's show back in May was the best I've ever been to, and the lineup is even better this time around. I am incredibly pumped. Tickets are sold out, but if you're in the Columbia I recommend showing up and hoping for the best. I'll try to put up some pictures.

And I just found out the Chuck and Heroes got preempted in favor of a Panthers game. That is a little disappointing.
