New Music!!!

Yea! I got exactly what I wanted for my birthday this year: money. Seriously that is all I asked for. I don't care if it is boring or that I don't get to rip open any bags or boxes. I can do that in six(ish) months. I wanted money so I could go and buy exactly what I wanted: music, in the form of cds. I am so excited because they are supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I got: thenewno2's You Are Here, The Cab's Whisper War, Plain White T's 2005 album (can't remember the name...), and Grizzly Bear's Veckhamist (though I am not sure about the spelling).

Anway I am really excited for them! I also downloaded the Cab's new ep The Lady Luck and Death Cab for Cutie's ep Open Door. I downloaded only those because I figured that they were just eps. See I am trying to break my dependence on downloading, even though I always use iTunes, because it is really awesome to have the cd's plus more money goes to support the band, and they need all that they can get. If I don't really know much about a band or if I only want like one song then yeah I'll still download, otherwise I am doing my best to be patient and order them, or buy them from stores. Plus there is so much more to having the music with the cover and booklet-thing. I mean they put work into all that and the presentation of the album. Also if my iPod dies or is charging or I don't want to take it, I always have my cd's with me in the car. Plus if you ever meet the band they can sign the cds. (VersaEmerge did for me. I actually wouldn't have gotten the cd cuz I already had it downloaded, but it was free with the t-shirt).

Another topic all together: My boss remembered my birthday. It is totally a double edged sword because even though it means that we are doing lunch and I get another cake etc. I feel really bad that they are doing all this for me. I am not that special. But it is an excuse for them to do something fun too. Still I don't like to be the center of attention. I never have, believe me. Oh well nothing I can do. Lunch has been ordered and will be en route soon. Oh well I can't wait for the new music to get here! Eek so excited!

Anyway for the first 3ish days of this year of my life it's been pretty good; lots of b-day wishes, music and happiness. I promised myself that even though even years have not been the best (12 was horrid, 14 I started high school -do I need to elaborate- 16 was pretty much friendless in classes, and 18 was a hard year in college with all my new made friends leaving) I will not let it be that way again. I will take a positive outlook and I will keep Love, Harmony, Peace close to my heart and mind.

So until the next time I get to write:

Love Harmony and Peace to you!
