Creeds to Live By

As of late, I’ve been in a someone introspective mood about various facets of my life. Because of that, I’ve been paying closer attention to what people say and do and have been recalling things I was taught as a kid. Here are some creeds that I’ve been living by or have thought about over the past few weeks: Read more…

Blocked Indifference.

04.20.09 brran1 5 comments

I’ve been feeling uninspired as of late when it comes to this blog. I’m almost certain that I could find the time to post something, but when i finally think I have everything sorted out to write a post… everything goes kaput.

Could I be experiencing some type of Writer’s Block; or am I just going through a period of indifference when it comes to writing? I honestly don’t know the answer to that question.

Over the course of the past 12+ months that I’ve had this blog, i’ve used it as my spot to talk about my issues, problems, my views on current events and music, etc. As of late, (outside of the Mental Health Weekend) nothing has been going except the usual, and how many times can one blog about being at work on a weekend when it’s nice outside?

Since the semester is drawing to a close (thank god) I’ll hopefully have more exciting things to write about. But until then.. I don’t know.

25 Albums

My buddy, fellow blogger, and fellow Morganite Organized Noise tagged me for this meme over on FB, but I decided to do it over here.

Think of 25 albums, CDs, LP’S,12 inches etc that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days, weeks, months, years. These are the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, emotions. These are the albums that no matter what they were thought of musically shaped your world. When you finish, tag a few others, including me. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good. Tag, you’re it! {don’t forget to tag me}

Mental Health Weekend: The Recap.

04.08.09 brran1 5 comments

You know what’s funny? Genetics.

Why is it funny you ask?

It’s funny because over this past weekend, I’ve noticed just how similar my younger brother and I are. In fact, it’s almost safe to say that we have the EXACT same personality, except he shows his temper way more than I does. Outside of studying, catching up on sleep and getting beat on Call of Duty 4, I spend most of the weekend picking up on quirks and noticing how similar my younger brother and myself are.

I can barely describe how it felt to NOT have to go to work on a Saturday and Sunday. Maybe the nice weather had something to do with it. Maybe the actual day of the week had something to do with it, but I came home feeling relaxed and just ready to tackle whatever tests I had to tackle during this week.

Hopefully I’ll get an internship (crosses fingers) so i’ll be able to enjoy my summer here in Baltimore (and in Virginia) with the fam on weekends.

Mental Health Weekend.

That’s right. I’m off work this weekend. And contrary to what the homie Bryan Maltier says, I didn’t take off to go work a second job.

I’m heading down to Virginia to chill with my little brother and stepmom for the weekend. I intend on studying, sleeping, reading, cutting grass, meditiating, building an addition onto their house, playing x-box, and just chilling in general.

Sometimes, even ya boy needs a couple of days to get his head back together and just to relax.

This is definitely a much needed mini-vacation.

Have a good weekend everyone!

The Definition.

I was talking to the homie Mikey McFly on Twitter, and we had a pretty solid albeit brief convo about how people are reflections of  and defined by their environments. 

I can think back to several occasions when I’ve shocked people by telling them where I from. I actually had to show my Driver’s License to one person who didn’t believe what I was telling them. Why is it that some people give rough neighborhoods and their inhabitants negative connotations? Read more…
