01.03.11 - I won't lie dear reader(s), sometimes I disappoint myself, and now is the time to admit this. Look, we all set goals we strive to achieve, but we don't always meet them. We aim high, but land low.

I originally started blogging waaaaayyyy back when. I was a somewhat fresh-faced kid, relatively new to NYC. I was bright-eyed and bushy tailed. Now, I'm not saying that I'm an old begruzzled man now, I'm only recently turned a mildy young looking 31, but I can say that looking back (and even just through the annals of this blog), I have grown, and learned. I have felt love and loss. I have become wiser and more cynical. I have enjoyed writing this through the years, and it has provided me with a great cathartic way of expressing my thoughts, sharing new music and writing, which is a bit of a passion of mine.

When I set out to write this revamped blog a little over two years ago, I had hoped to publish these posts on a frequent basis, and sadly, as of late that has not happened. I had a crazy, wild, thrilling, nauseating, deliriously exciting and overall fantastic 2010 (as evidenced by this video), but look, things got in the way. People, jobs, places, you know...things. I barely wrote one post a month in 2010, and I think that that's just not acceptable dear reader(s), Now it's 2011. Twenty f'in eleven! I can't just let this blog fall to the wayside. And now, as part of my New Years Resolution, I once again will strive to make this blog a bigger priority in my life.

But you know, in the meantime, I think that I have found a way to redeem myself. Perhaps a new mixtape to satiate your aural needs? I don't mind if I do! So let's get to it, shall we...New music from Cut Copy, Penguin Prison (creators of one of the BEST songs from last year), Natasha Bedingfield, Eiffel 65 (what? really?), Chromeo, Röyksopp and sooo much more! Highlights include a new ditty by Duffy, a remix of a hot song by Tokyo Police Club, and the song "In Motion" by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from "The Social Network" Soundtrack (which...well, it's awesome, and you should download it now, here)...Mixtape download link is below...enjoy!
