Like a Stone

So the year is going well here in VT. My classes are good and I'm doing dandy. My grades are awesome so far, I just need to keep it up. I'm learning Japanese which is pretty friggen sweet. And I'm playing so much more guitar than I did in the summer.
Lately I have been listening to Audioslave which is what I am talking about today. Like a stone, one of my favorite songs. The thing about Audioslave is I like every song they have ever come out with which - it is very hard to find a band in which you love every song they have. The only other two bands that have ever done that for me have been Led Zeppelin and Dave Matthews.

Road Trip in a Burning Room

So tomorrow after classes I'm jumping in my car and traveling to Babson, about 4 hours away to see my girlfriend. Long trip but obviously well worth it. Luckily I got my itrip in time so I can listen to some music on the way, in the middle of NH, where all I can hear is white noise or country (sorry country fans- no hard feelings I hope).

John Mayer - a fantastic entertainer and musician. The song I want to recognize is also a song I am re-learning which is Slow Dancing in a Burning Room. Listen to it! It's got great lyrics but an even better beat.

Company is blooming, Yes!

So I'm pretty excited because I'm still becoming sponsored by more and more companies. I received in the mail today five awesome canteens from Klean Kanteen. Check em out, awesome water bottle company. It's important to buy waterbottles that are BPA free for environmental reasons as well as health safety reasons.

GSI Outdoors, awesome company that makes outdoor camping products. They have a lot of kitchenware for camping and hiking.


ULU boots sent me some really nice women's boots. Retailed at $150. Sweet!

So completely unrelated, I would like to direct this one-sided converstation to music, the purpose of this blog. One song that I really was drawn to which is pretty rad, I saw it in concert and I learned it on guitar also is the song Yes by Coldplay. It's a very good song, I really only love the beginning and not the second part of the song after like 4 minutes is over. But it's great. Coldplay is a great band. Check it out!

Malaysian Prison

So things are going pretty well here in Burlington VT. It's a happening place. My tuning company is going pretty well, i'm still receiving products from sponsors and stuff i'm going to raffle off which is pretty awesome. I have roughly a little under $2000 in merchandise that i'm going to simply just give away at the end of the semester. I'm super excited. Hopefully it will be a good business learning experience. Not to mention that I'm going to be getting a supreme co-op with this company called Olukai. Awesome company, not only for the reason that they are working with me but because their product and mission kicks ass. It reminds me of Jack Johnson, mainly because it is based out of hawaii and it's a high quality sandal company. Very surf-like. I like that.

Well today in the mail I recieved "Stack Footy" the progressive snowboarding DVD from Think Thank productions. stolked about that. I also received a nice sweatshirt from Crankbrothers, a cycling company. They produce road bike parts and accessories which is also very cool because i'm big into biking.

So that leads me into something completely non-related. Malaysian prisons. Now I saw this for the first time last night and it might be one of the funniest things I have ever seen. A coreographed dance, thriller, by Michael Jackson, in a prison. Not only that- I believe that they hold the largest coreographed dance session world record. Now despite what you may think, this is not a gag or gimmick, this is totally legitimate...
