Neverending Cycle of Money Problems
- Have a decent amount of money (very student living, but I mean, a handful of digits) because you’re a reasonable adult human with two part time jobs and a lot of student loans that equal refunds, not payments, since you’re still in school.
Make a budget!Kind of make some guidelines about what you should spend on what.Stick to that budget!Mostly stick to it. Maybe you even have a little to put in your emergency fund.Continue to have money! Get to add to your savings accounts!Get really stressed because school sucks.- Financial success!Spend money on things you genuinely need (new sunglasses since you’re blind and can’t drive without a.) prescription lenses and b.) sunglasses). Realize you don’t have money anymore.
- Get stressed about money.
- Spend money on more things (that you probably don’t need, by this point in the process).
- Pay rent out of your emergency funds, depleting it more than ever before.
- Repeat.
I don’t think this song necessarily has to mean sad things, although that is certainly there. I’ve had a lovely, quiet, solitary weekend and am certainly not sad, but this song is still just getting at something somewhere in my head or gut or whatever that I didn’t even know was there. Also it is beautiful.

Nashville did so right by me
but the atmosphere at Vandy didn’t jive so I said no to their offer and now I want to cry. Oops. :(

Basically this is just an mp3 blog where you can’t download and where I don’t post according to what music is new, just whatever I’m jamming to at a given moment. So much for like, writing and pictures and things like that.
Obama And ISP’s To Launch Largest Digital Spying Scheme In History (Must Read)
If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music, your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and they’re coming for you.
Specifically, they’re coming for you on Thursday, July 12.
That’s the date when the nation’s largest ISPs will all voluntarily implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users’ bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they will not download copyrighted materials.
Word of the start date has been largely kept secret since ISPs announced their plans last June. The deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and coordinated by the Obama Administration. The same groups have weighed in heavily on controversial Internet policies around the world, with similar facilitation by the Obama’s Administration’s State Department.
The July 12 date was revealed by the RIAA’s CEO and top lobbyist, Cary Sherman, during a publishers’ conference on Wednesday in New York, according to technology publication CNet.
The content industries calls this scheme a “graduated response” plan, which will see
-Time Warner Cable
-Cablevision
-Comcast
-Verizon
-AT&T
and others spying on users’ Internet activities and watching for potential copyright infringement. Users who are “caught” infringing on a creator’s protected work can then be interrupted with a notice that piracy is forbidden by law and carries penalties of up to $150,000 per infringement, requiring the user to click through saying they understand the consequences before bandwidth is restored, and they could still be subject to copyright infringement lawsuits.
Response: This is much worse than SOPA/PIPA and ACTA. It doesn’t necessarily censor the internet but it spys on everything you do. Your ENTIRE web history will be watched and recorded and might even assist the government. This was coordinated by Obama and his administration with the help of the MPAA and RIAA.
What is so dangerous about this is that this is not a law it is a policy adopted by several companies. That means this will not be debated in Congress and you will agree to be spied on by signing a contract with the company.
Internet censorship is becoming a reality and now the corporate elite will legally be able to spy on you. If we spread this and cause an uproar like what we did with SOPA, maybe they will back down. Either way people NEED to know about this.

Now, just do me a favor and take a time-out to listen to this. Just vibe for a minute with Patsy and then go about your business. You’ll be glad.
