The Last 3 Weeks







After finishing up Grad. School on July 17, I promptly made my way to Pismo Beach from Redlands, renting a U-Haul, packing up all my belongings and hitting the road. I started unpacking at my parent's house in Pismo Beach, only to leave for Washington two days later. My mom and I drove to Leavenworth, WA to gather some stuff from storage to bring down to the newly acquired house in CA. After spending a week in Leavenworth, we packed up yet another (slightly larger) U-Haul and made our way south. My mom drove the U-Haul to Pismo Beach, and I detoured to Seattle for a week. Following Seattle, I made my way to Portland for 3 days and stayed with some old high school friends and finally made a stop for one night in San Francisco with an old college friend. All in all, it was an exciting trip, and I will be posting more photos soon.

The Mix:



Since I am obsessed with electronic music, I have taken up the wonderful art of DJing,and have been fooling around with a program called Ableton Live for about 8 or 9 months now. It's fun for me to be able to mix tracks I love hearing and have a hobby that is continually changing and is never the same from one mix to the next. Every week I want to include my favorite tracks to mix, so for all you electronic music people out there, check them out. So I finally decided to record and post my own mixes....so no laughing..I'm still a beginner. I decided to kick off my very first mix as a progressive house mix with some fun tracks....I have attached a link to my podcast site, so check it out....hit me with some feedback :)

Welcome! I figure now is a better time than ever to start my own blog that will remain separate from myspace, facebook and the numerous other networking tools that I constantly use in my life. I wanted to create a page that was a compilation of my thoughts on the various journeys I take in my life as well as providing continuous insight into my life. If any of this sounds interesting to you, hang around...check out the blogs as they come and reply to anything you find interesting, cool, terrible, etc. etc. I think it's important to have a place in which I can present myself through pictures, music, and words. Join me as I ramble, rant and rave. Cheers...
