Controlled Chaos

Few days ago, I mentioned I was working on the Romantic Catastrophe/Bellyflop split...well, I decided to scratch the idea. Not really, I kept half of the concept and just sort of expanded on that concept and also decided that the title of the split, together don't sound too good. Individually, the meaning behind the name is interesting to me but together, not sure if it's too good of an idea.

So the split evolved into 'Controlled Chaos"...so here it is:

1. On My Way Back Home by Jim Ward
2. Lived In Bars by Cat Power
3. Goodbye England by Laura Marling
4. La Cienga Just Smiled by Ryan Adams
5. Tacoma by Tim Barry
6. Love Ire and Songs by Frank Turner
7. Man of the Hour by Eddie Vedder
8. A Broken Promise by Sleepercar
9. If U Got Some Magic by Rademacher
10. Apartment Story by the National
11. Forever by the Parson Red Heads
12. Call It Off by Tegan and Sara

Late night thoughts 11/26

For the past few weeks, I've been having a really hard time getting into this whole grad school thing. The studying for GRE exam, working on my CV/resume, trying to figure out where to apply etc...the whole process just doesn't seem as important to me as it should. Back when I was a senior in high school, deep down I knew I wanted to go to college which made the whole process a lot easier.

Part of the reason I having trouble applying to graduate school is that I'm not exactly sure if that's what I want to do. Being a fourth year college senior, I should have things figured out and worked out but the fact that I don't bothers the living day lights out of me. So, maybe grad school is an excuse...a way to buy more time to figure out my plans and delay my entrance into the real world. If in fact it is an excuse, then I need to gather my shit quick and find some motivation to make this excuse come true. 

T-Day 2011

Every once in a while, I am flabbergasted by how genuinely nice some people around me are. Yesterday was one of those days. Maybe there is hope in this world.
