Mike Price

One of my good friends at school I guess decided to start rapping. After reading an article on the job outlook for new grads in the Washington Post Business section today I am thinking this is a pretty smart move on his part. Anyways I am giving him a shout out today.

Mike Price & Marsh

 Check out Mike Price on facebook and "like" his page or if you are on twitter you can follow him at @mikepricemusic. He has released his first track which I honestly after listening I was pretty surprised how awesome it was.  I mean I always knew he was musically inclined but wow.  So here is his first track he released "Livin' like a Khaki Boy" Holiday Remix.

  Livin like a Khaki Boy (Wintery Mix) by Mike Price

Warning though it is pretty catchy and has been stuck in my head all week.  If you like it keep checking back he is working on his first EP  "Everyone's Got a Price" which should be out soon.

Hide yo Kids

 I confess, I am slightly obsessed with youTube. Now I hope everyone has seen this video above, with 23 million hits chances are you have  (if not well what are you waiting for I even embedded it for you). The video is simply youtube gold. Anyways now that everybody is familiar with the video I can show you this picture I "stumbleupon" today.  Certainly made my day.

Stumble Upon.

Done!

Finals are over. Done. Adios. Now comes the waiting for professors to post final grades. I don't think there will be any surprises there is just one class I am on the board line for.  So happy to be home though. The drive was pretty miserable 8 and half hours alone through the middle of nowhere will pretty much make anybody crazy. But I made it home alive and that is all that matters. I love coming home for Christmas, the house is decorated and its just beautiful. I think that will be my next post, Christmas decoration.  Now the finals are over and I am home it finally feels like Christmas time.

Prepidemic

Found a new blog that I currently am obsessed with Prepidemic. Started by a couple of students at Princeton it leaves no stone unturned when it comes to men's wear. I don't know what it is but I have a strange fascination with men's wear. I am going to blame it on my first job ever working as a men's sales associate for Ralph Lauren. Anyway ladies though it doesn't really pertain to us you gotta check it out the pictures are awesome.

I am not sure what bought this all on but the other day I picked up my guitar for the first time in ages. I have an acoustic guitar I keep at the end of my bed.  I use to take lessons when I was back in middle school, not a lot of people know that.  I was never really good mostly because I never practiced I was always too busy doing other things. But I remember feeling like I was on cloud nine after I got done with a lesson. Playing for that hour was the most therapeutic, relaxing thing ever. Don't laugh. I am serious.  

Hotty Toddy Sister actually took this picture of me playing a while back

 Anyways this week I changed the rusted strings and started well more like attempting to teach myself some basic chords. Then I discovered lessons on youtube and I have been sucked back in. That feeling came back this week, that relaxing, therapeutic feeling you get when you just ignore the world and all you think about is the next note. All I want to do is master one song, one chords progression and move on to the next one its just been on my mind all this week. My poor roommates probably hate me practicing the same damn thing over and over. I try to play when nobody is home that way I can just flow. I have an electric guitar at home just your basic run of the mill Fender Strat but I am thinking about bringing it back down without the amp that way its quieter than my acoustic. O well back to studying I go. Till next time. O yea anybody know who said that quote that I made my title? Here is a clue,  guitarist for Queen.

Keep Calm and Carry On

It's the week before finals. Crunch time. Just finished up a research paper that is due tomorrow for one of my economics classes. It's strange, in that particular class in order to get an "A" in the class you have to write a paper but you can only write a paper if you have at least a B average on the exams. I think its frustrating if you ask me, even if you have an "A" exam average you still have to write the paper. So what is the incentive to do well on the exams during the year?  Okay getting off topic, anyways, research paper. Done. My first exam is going to be my hardest and might I add it's weighted the most out of all my finals, 40% of my final grade. Gulp.  So needless to say I need some serious study time and just my luck its scheduled for the first exam time.... Monday 8am.  Good news after that its pretty much all downhill from there, just one other final and a presentation.   I am just going to take the advice of our friends across the pond and keep calm and carry on.
