Fashion Nugget

so here i sit on a wednesday night.  after getting out of night class and doing my homework, i begin an extraordinary challenge.  my roommate and i are have a weight loss competition over the next two weeks.  we had weigh-ins tonight and took a couple pictures for the people.  i'm banking on dropping about 15lbs.  i think that shoudn't be too bad and an accomplishment as well.  
i've been trying to find music that is new to me lately.  i haven't found any new bands, but i have found a LOT of bands that i love.  for instance, i've been listening to cake, alphabeat, elbow, and rilo kiley for the most part lately.  i'm not sure anything else could satisfy me now.  i got a good grade on my practical, i couldn't be happier right now.

Portions For Foxes

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, between long drives and long rides I've come to the conclusion that I'm not really sure what I want to do with my life and that doesn't bother me.  I'm living life to the fullest and I have absolutely no complaints.  I go to classes every day to fulfill my education even though I don't really want to be in medicine anymore, but that doesn't bother me.  I enjoy the vast knowledge I get in my classes and that is what helps keep me motivated.  I've thought about switching my major to either music technology or multimedia production.  I'm not really sure which though because I'm very interested in both of the programs.  They both have pro's and con's that wouldn't be too difficult to deal with which make them prime candidates for majors.  
I've been listening to a lot of different music lately.  I've taken a liking to Bring Me The Horizon, Copeland, Lupe, Iron & Wine, MGMT, and the Kanye mixtapes.  I use to be able to listen to popular rap music, but after listening to the quality verses of Lupe Fiasco and Common it is very hard to give the rest any credit.  For those of you who don't know, Lupe Fiasco and Common are leagues ahead of most rappers.  The quality and their rhymes show that they can rap about things other than sex, drugs, and women.  If you want an example, listen to the song "Us Placers" from the Can't Tell Me Nothing mixtape.  Lupe's verse says it all.
