Half-Doomed & Semi-Sweet





A look back….

I can remembering blogging last year about this time….

I was hoping for a big year with some big changes. I can’t say it has been as good as I wanted it to be, but it certainly has been an interesting year.

May 2010 and I am officially a college graduate. I recieved my Associate’s Degree with high honors. This is a big deal - I am a first generation college grad.

July 2010 and I take my first ever flight. I know, late in life, but I made it a good one! Fifteen long hours to Hong Kong. Best trip of my life and an experience I will never forget.

November 2010 and my dreams are coming true. I completed, submitted, and subsequently recieved my acceptance letter to my New York University application. This has been in the making since I was a kid. Who would have thought I’d actually make it? Certainly not me.

Now, as I move forward into 2011, I am prepped for big changes. A move to NYC to attend the school of my dreams. My first time away from home, all on my own. I am nervous and excited and an amagalm of other emotions I can’t explain or comprehend.

This year will be even bigger and better than last!

Here’s to 2011!



I must see this movie.

I must see this movie.



So, I’m actually doing it.

I am actually applying to New York University.

Quite frankly, I am utterly terrified of the process and the outcome. I have wanted this for so long and soon it will no longer be a dream. It will either become a reality or a crushed, unfulfilled hope.

To be honest, I don’t think I could bear the latter. But I will never know unless I take the leap.

So, here’s to realizing my dreams and hoping they come true at NYU.

“ I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It’s just that the translations have gone wrong. John Lennon (via hammurabiofthegods)

“

Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you’re not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else.”

-Alex Gaskarth


“ The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.” - Chuck Palahniuk


“ I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now? John Lennon (via fuckyeahthebeatles)

Just one of my many ‘favorite’ Beatles tracks - I can’t choose just one.

Sorry it’s up late. I’m not even a day in and already I’ve broken my own schedule…

Don’t Let Me Down, off a studio acetate.

And everyone says they hated each other by then…

I don’t have any information on this take, other than that it comes to us here courtesy of an acetate record cut in the studio probably on the night of the session so that a Beatle could take it home to listen to the following day. In the days before digital files, this was one of the only ways to get immediate feedback on what you’d recorded.
