graduation

is next week. i’m in an odd middle place because i’m taking two more classes may+june, but i’m completely done with my major, so it’s a very awkward mix of being done and not being done. let’s go time - fly!

personality

I took a personality test at the beginning of the year for my organizational behavior class. It was an IPIP-NEO test, which goes off the big five personality traits, rather than the traditional Myers Briggs system. There is a conversion from the big five to the MBTI ranking system, so we related our scores over to the traditional rating system and I turned out to be an ENTJ. each letter stands for...

activation: music

i’ve been making much more of an effort lately to actively listen to music. i carry my ipod around with me with my calendar and to-do list, so i figured i’d carry my headphones with me too since they take up basically no room, and now i’m actually listening to music again. what a good idea! i’ve been borrowing some records from my neighbor drew and listening to them. ...

what a good day on a lot of accounts. i’ve been so frustrated recently by people that have been every lowering my expectations, but i’ve been having a recent streak of luck with people that has been revitalizing my outlook. tonight kels and i went out to dinner with a big inspiration of ours, sarah rhodes, a photographer, and generally great person, who lives and works in seattle....

Watch

i put on alkaline trio last night while we were doing work and this song came up. i hummed along to it during its duration and kept thinking about how i wanted it to be slower. you know when you hear something, and really want it to sound another way? maybe not, but that’s how this made me feel. so mostly out of frustration, i looked up the basic tabs to get an idea, and then did a few more...

a recap of the last few days

for lack of possibly more interesting things to talk about and a desire to blog more often, i suppose there will be some tedious posts just to keep up what my going-ons in life are. well, i got a job about 3 weeks ago at utrecht. i’ve only worked about 5 days now, just because it’s been finals time, but i’m going to be working mostly full time over the summer. it’s a cool...

history ideas

i’m really enjoying learning about history. i was thinking about this today in history class. i feel like i’m traveling through time on a bunch of different levels. not only do i get to see all the things that were happening, or hear about all the people that are doing them, it’s more the ideas that stem from different schools of thought that really move me along. we started in...

photoshoot_brian sacco

i did this photoshoot with a kid named brian sacco a couple weeks back and just sent him a follow up the other day asking how it went. he sent me back 8 of which most were very serious looking and all really dramatic light like the one above. i’m not really a huge fan of straight forward on black portraits usually, especially if they’re trying to look all deep and such, so I liked...

music+art

i love creating things. art for me i think is just going to be fun and a place to do anything. because art seems to be totally perceptive. it can be an idea, a concept, or just a studio art piece. that’s the beauty of it. i’m still trying to find my definition of art, but i don’t think it’s going to be a very detailed one, just something very general that I can work in any...

frustration

ok, i need to write more about my life. i am pursuing an independent major at northeastern, basically creating my own major by combining two or more not traditionally combined majors in a unique way. for me it is music, business, architecture, design and art. more specifically (departmentally speaking) music business, art+design and architectural history. the title for my major is...

back from vegas

it’s march 5th and we just got back from las vegas for our 21st birthdays with kelsey’s parents and brother (and friend) we have a busy weekend of getting things done, but hopefully we’ll find some fun things to do with it also. only about 1 month of school left! ah! i need to figure out both what i’m doing this summer and what i’m doing with my life. life first.

music? where are you?

i’m so frustrated. i have written about 10 pieces of songs in the last week. i just keep running into the question, ‘what is a song?’. Every chord progression has been used, there’s only so many vocal arrangements that sound particularly good over a song. all a song is is style and production. i can’t just write ‘a song’. it’s really bothering me,...
