VAY-K

got back today from a four-day cruise to cozumel, mx. i LOVE traveling. i love other cultures and being immersed in them. i'd really like to go down to honduras and do some mission work some summer. anyways, i digress. i had a great time just chilling though. last year when we went on the cruise i was more immersed in the mexican culture. this year i hung out in my stateroom, watched entourage, and slept. man it was nice. missed two days of teaching with it too. now it's spring break. a total of eleven days away from students. hopefully i'll come back refreshed and ready to go! i might post some pictures sometime soon.

a month later

Ok, I haven't posted in a while. Been busy.

I'm leaving soon on a cruise to Cozumel. I love to travel. It's so much fun.

So now for a totally different train of though. I really like finding musicians, movies, etc. that aren't mainstream yet. I really enjoying Hoodie Allen right now. He's a rapper from New York, but I'd use rapper very loosely. Yeah sure he raps, but he infuses lots of samples from the indie-scene. He's got a sweet love affair with January Jones and has an entire chorus of one song about her. On another he samples from Death Cab for Cutie.

Iration is another up and coming band. They've got a pretty sweet sound. A mix of reggae and rock, all of the members hail from Hawaii and you can hear it in their music.

Johnny Stimson is the last up and comer I've got for the day. He's an acoustic rock guy from Highland Park, Texas, went to A&M, and now lives in New York/Dallas. He sounds a lot like Gavin Degraw and Bob Morris from the Hush Sound. Happy in B-flat is a great little tune. Go look him up!

Ok, now for some funny.
