You may or may not have noticed, but each personal article I post uses a lyric from a song for the title. That song is usually what I’ve been listening to on a loop while writing the article. (You will find the song title and the artist listed in the tags.) Thus, every few months I am going to release a soundtrack and link to past soundtracks as well, in case you’re remotely interested in the aggregate. I don’t know and can’t guarantee that they’ll flow well, but I think it’s interesting none the less. They’re songs that I have identified with enough to inspire a post and that means something, doesn’t it?

It all will fall, fall right into place

Now that I’m not going to Russia, I have a lot to decide and figure out in the next month. Where I’m going to live. Plans and goals for continuing work. Plans for school. And then all the other “little” things I want to figure out — when I can get a dog, for example. But those are obviously lower priority.

It’s about time I write about Sasquatch, eah? Unfortunately I don’t have any exciting pictures. I was hoping to be able to bring in my Canon Digital Rebel XTi, but it’s not allowed because it has an attachable lens, and I wasn’t about to risk getting it confiscated or having to run back to (and actually manage to find) my car to put it away. But, it was still a glorious musical weekend, and here, “ladies!” and “gentlemen!” (Hives reference!) is a list of standout bands (good and bad).

Now don’t worry we’ll all float on

As one of my best friends deals with her relationships with a couple of her exes, I’ve been considering the way I deal with people versus the way that she does quite a bit. She feels compelled to “not give up” on her exes and remain good friends to them, even when one in particular has been a terrible and unreliable friend in return. Add that to the fact that he is not the same person that she was friends with, or even dating, and that he hurt her pretty badly and has failed to prove him trustworthy since their breakup, I am of the opinion that she should lay it all on the table, give him a warning and then cut her losses if he fails to live up.
