Atmosphere

This weekend I got the opportunity to go see the Minneapolis group called Atmosphere. It was a concert at Concordia college where my girlfriend Emily goes. She got us the tickets. I didn't know what to think right away because I'd only ever really listened to one of their songs, and I do not listen to rap as often as I used. I went in with mixed expectations, and left blown away. They were awesome! What made it even cooler was the fact that they are from Minnesota and proud of it. It was definitely the best part of the weekend.

We were almost in the front row!

This was one of my favorites that they did live, even though I have no idea what the message of it is yet. 

This song is probably their most popular and was the one I had heard before going into the concert. Everyone went crazy when they started it. I didn't think it was possible for rap to be better live but these guys proved me wrong. Now I can't wait to go see The Black Keys this May!

Some new things in my life: apartment, couch, pinterest, instagram, google chrome, friends, music, books, and movies.

I'm moving into an apartment next year with two of my friends from the dorm. It's pretty exciting. Expanding on that, today we went and bought a couch for the living room. Very nice, very expensive. Probably wasn't the best financial decision... It will be nice to get out of the dorms next year (huge understatement) and have a place to ourselves. Everyone needs to have the experience of living in a college dorm. I had that experience and am ready for a new one now.

Some new things I am trying in terms of technology. I'm using the web browser "google chrome" now because, well, I don't why. I was having trouble with firefox and was sick of the boring themes of explorer. Most of my friends use chrome so I thought I would just join the party. I like it so far. I also now have instagram and pinterest. I got instagram because my mom was talking about how much she loves it and because it just came out for android. I think it has potential to be really cool! I'm also now on pinterest. One of my roommates, Mitch, is addicted, and he basically made me get it. I'm looking forward to using it as a way to get cool apartment ideas.

I got the Steve Jobs biography for my birthday and I just recently started reading it. I love it! It always leaves me feeling inspired after reading. One of my favorite lines is when he is talking about how he,"started to realize that an intuitive understanding and consciousness was more significant than abstract thinking and intellectual logical analysis".

I also got the movie "Moneyball". One of my new favorites! It is an awesome movie that isn't just for baseball fans. I've also been hooked on the band "Two Door Cinema Club" thanks to my mom again. I had to buy their whole CD.

....It's hard to believe almost one whole year of college has gone by. Time to buckle down and get through this last month of school work while still enjoying these last days of freshman year.
