I enjoyed this read, but after reading up on some analysis, it feels too religious driven. Given the ... http://newsc2.com/?p=768 It's... March. Wow. My Daylight Savings post is only like 3 down. Damn you Tony-of-6-months-ago! Here's your fricken hour back. Short and sweet—this blog has apparently turned into a biographical tome, something to jot down a frame of mind. A frame of mind that never really changes... only the circumstances around ... http://newsc2.com/?p=757 1. Lose 15 pounds (I'm in shape now, but I want to slim down/easier to run) 2. Save $5000 3. Continue growing in music: • 1500 hours. (4 hrs. a day/28 hours a week) • By the end of 2010, my music should be very close to release-quality. • Consider doing amateur-professional work (web/TV/radio/game stuff). • ... http://newsc2.com/?p=751 Has it already been a year?

I get an extra hour of sleep!" but in the past decade or so it's morphed into "yay! I get to stay awake an extra hour!" Think I went to bed around 5am (new time) ... http://newsc2.com/?p=744 Been a while since I tried to work out a riddle. I came across this one on a site, which said I would get some, $200 worth of clams if I solved it and sent the answer in, without Googling. Of course there was no e-mail address. Interesting blog, though, ... http://newsc2.com/?p=742 Ugh... head hurts. Spent most of the weekend watching music tutorial videos, reading jazz theory books, getting frustrated at myself, and finally biting the bullet to turn in a Deep House loop that I was marginally pleased with. (I'm taking a Deep House course online) I also spent the weekend doing ... http://newsc2.com/?p=732 Series of photos depicting China.

I have more than 4 blog posts! I'm not apologizing for lack of updates! (at least... not today) Just got home from DC. I'm pooped. Must shower, sleep (hopefully in that order).
