Music Recommendation...

They Might be Giants – The Else

I have know about They Might be Giants for along time now, but I’ve never sat down to listen to them. With my new unlimited access to music provided by the free music download site for college students Ruckus, I’ve been able to check out a lot of new music. I stumbled upon They Might be Giants newest album The Else. I must admit this album is great, the quirky beats and smooth voices of John Linnell and John Flansburgh contribute to an album that is very easy to listen to. This album was actually produced The Dust Brothers the guys who brought us the techno soundtrack for Fight Club the movie. My favorite songs so far is the first on the album, I’m Impressed. If nothing else check out that song and if u like it you’re sure to like the rest of the album.

The Beginning...

This is my first attempt at blogging in awhile so go easy on me, if that is anyone is actually reading this. This last month has been a crazy one; I just started college as a freshman at George Mason University.

College has brought about a lot of changes in my life and it’s all a bit overwhelming at the moment especially only being a month into it all. the weeks leading up to college I was so excited to be leaving home and getting away from Williamsburg and my family. But now thinking about it things here at George mason are not as exciting and fun as a guess I was thinking they would be. I guess I feel kind of lonely being here, I have made a bunch of friends on my floor, they are all really cool guys its just I don't think I have met but one or two people I have made a real connection with like I have with my buddies back home. I am really starting to miss all my friends from back home and there are times that I kind of wish I was back living in Williamsburg, which is not something I would have been caught dead thinking only a couple weeks ago. Complicating the whole issue is that my girlfriend and I broke up just before we both went off to college, which has certainly taken a toll on me.

Other than all the crazy personal stuff going on with me at the moment, college it self isn’t to bad, my classes aren’t to terribly hard. It’s nice to have a classes so spread out. The food is really starting to get boring and I have no idea how I am going to deal with that for another couple months till winter break comes around.

That’s all I got at the moment, I have got a ton of stuff to talk about it but I can’t concentrate long enough to write it all down, the computer games are calling me.
