The synapses that glow are the juices that flow like a streetlamp quivering in the dark suffocated by repetition scorning at the thought of burning out like a firecracker avalanching across the sky bombing the canopy continuing to trail after the burst like a marriage fostering stemming feelings of love at first sight discovering your downs don’t outweigh her ups like a bird piloting...

The clouds’ cigarette smoke Adorning the scenery in a gradient blanket A misty smother hydrating the lungs sinking into the skin A most refreshing wakeup.

Lost Objects
I don’t like misplacing things, especially things I enjoy. I’ve been unable to find my copies of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for months now. I’ve already read them, but for all I know, they could be in Des Moines, IA.

Playlist.
It’s been a predominantly acoustic and folk season around my apartment this week. I attribute it mostly to the new guitar I purchased this month, and the increased attention to detail I’ve been paying to lyrics. Not that I didn’t care about lyrics before: I just generally find myself attempting to understand the heart of one’s words more often.

Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel
This is a book I used to love when I was a kid. Between this and Winnie-the-Pooh, 1930s children’s literature was the staple of my bedtime stories. I recently stumbled across it again, and forgot how much I love the art from that era.

January 12, 2011.
In spite of what happened in Tucson this past weekend:
I’m thankful to live in a place that is not characterized by these type of actions.
I am thankful to live amongst citizens who are affected by the harming of innocent people, and the loss of those senselessly murdered.
I’m thankful to live in a country that still allows words like this to be read on national television:

1 year.
My oh my, how much has changed in 1 year.
This same week last year turned out to be one of the most monumental weeks of my life, with two major events happening. First, I graduated college with a BBA in Accounting. I have very fond memories during my time at UNM. I learned a lot of life experience and met some of the closest friends I’ll ever have. The most accounting I’ve done in the...

Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Auto-Tune
After witnessing the unveiling of Adobe’s CS5 new features, I have to admit that it is pretty incredible what this program will be able to accomplish. Something called Puppet Warp and Content-Aware Fill literally blew my mind. It made me realize that it has similarities with another program: Anatares Auto-Tune.
What Auto-Tune did for the music industry is very similar to what Photoshop is...

Mumford & Sons | Sigh No More
From a musician’s perspective, finding records to connect with is what propels us to create music. From a fan’s perspective, given the endless number of bands out there, connecting with a band is what keeps us listening. There’s no magic formula for discovering where these two paths meet, but both definitely have to be present for a band to be successful. For me, Mumford...

March 13.
Today I woke up like any other day before.
Today I was impressed by the marvel of a stream flowing in the frigid surroundings of a snowy mountain.
Today I was re-acquainted with an old friend: Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream.
Today I found myself inspired by reading excerpts about a grandfather-like figure whose drive and passion permeates every area of his life; he says he gets it from his...
