Risky Biz-nass


Love on a Real Train - Tangerine Dream

Dear Facebook PPL,

Do you really exist? The warmness of my 3 yr old Macbook Pro keyboard tells me that you do. But I'm not really sure.

I just saw the Notorious B.I.G. biopic. Really bad acting. Really good music. Really rill.

My period button doesn't work right now. Carly spilled. This means 2 of 2 things. 1)Every time i want to use a [.] i need to press [appl+v]. 2) I can't make a forwards arrow anymore <-----------

É a promessa de vida


Greetings fellow internet users. This post marks the beginning of my second blog, The 215-412 Review.

This numeric (and nearly palindromic) moniker is a reference to respective errrr-ea codes of my two homes: Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Soy de Filadelfia, but I'm a student at the U. of Pittsburgh. There is much to be said about these two urban centers which bookend William Penn's Woods -- both in their own right and in relation to each other -- and it is of significant interest to me to explore this dynamic in the future (amongst myriad other topics).

Presently though, I'm focused on the more idyllic and idealized settings which the glorious arrival of spring gives light to each March in my mind's eye. To celebrate the occasion, I crafted a springtime mix for my girlfriend of a/the year, Carly, which I regard as the best product of my short mixing career. As always, it is quite diverse and hops musical genre's like a young Pedro Cottontail; because good sounds have no bounds.

It's increasingly hard to focus on the good life in today's ADD-riddled, economic-slumping culture, but as modern peoples we know that it's essential that we do. I hope this mix helps bait your inner joy out of hibernation and gets you stompin' to the "deep reveling rhythm" that is life. :)
