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?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately on attitudes and outlooks. It wasn’t all that long ago that I was easily (and correctly) categorized as a bitter cynic, often pessimistic. These days, however, I am keenly optimistic and enthusiastic about the future and my life. And, oddly enough, I think the catalyst for this change was my parents’ decision not to cosign my loans for college.
