i was born to be a drummer

just found this. all smiles on my first drum kit. i still believe being the drummer is by far the most enjoyable role one can play in a band. you get to hit things really hard and you're pretty much solely responsible for making people move and groove. please note the boombox in foreground blasting 'what's the story'.

toasts to france

this song was written years ago while i was still studying. i decided to write a fun tune half in english and half in my very limited french. i call it frenglish. i was listening to a lot of coralie clement at the time.

eat your heart out bon iver

all things go. all things go.

planning stages. first 3 weeks figured out. starting to pack up my american life. starting to prepare my mind and body for a change of pace. brushing up on my swedish phrases. thinking about where i might be for christmas. wondering what type of shoes will be reliable, comfortable, stylish as i walk venice. maybe leather boots. gathering resources and making connections. making a list of things to do before i leave philadelphia. considering my budget. making sure i have enough left to get to africa by late spring. all things go. all things go.
