Discovery

Good evening Notes, let me just start by telling you how tired I am right now. Yeah, it was a hard weekend for me and I’m quite glad it’s over. As you are probably aware of, last week was Reading Week, so tomorrow I technically start the second half of the semester.

I cannot say that I managed to get a lot done last week, but one thing in particular I did was getting a rather large amount of CD’s onto my computer, something I’ve been meaning to get done ever since I switched to lossless a year ago. I also did some organization of the records, and organized them into three groups:

  1. Greatest hits – as the title suggests, these include any compilation of an artist or artists. I’ve been very clear that these sets have no place on my incredibly organized iTunes library.
  2. Bad albums – why on Earth would I want to listen to the CD’s that I hated ever again. And I must admit, there was more than I expected. Although over the years my tastes in music has gradually changed, usually I don’t ever despise albums as I do with these. Some notable examples are Kanye West, Three 6 Mafia, Van Halen and Disturbed.
  3. The goodies – this a by far the largest group and the amount of money I’ve obviously invested into this collection scares me. In this category, I created two subgroups: CD’s that I must rip immediately (within the last year to last Friday) and the records that I will eventually get too.

This took a long time (well worth it), but I really should have been doing some, well, reading. Regardless, its done and now I can sleep at night knowing I have to most organized collection both digitally and physically of anyone that I know, not that a well labeled iTunes collection is ever going to create any lasting happiness or comfort for me.

I’ve been working on typing correctly, this my first ever blog post doing so, and its going quite well thus far. I actually realized a few weeks ago that I primarily typed with my index fingers, and for the depressingly large amount of time I’m attached to a keyboard (I’m going to change this I swear it), I was quite surprised to learn this about myself.

Last night during the party at my brothers house, a few of us ate some mushrooms, the first time since my fathers death that I ate any. I don’t enjoy mushrooms like most people, certainly not like anyone at the party. I don’t think it is necessarily a bad thing, it just is a very good idea for me to do a party, where I’m expected to socialize and have fun. I really couldn’t spit out more than two or three words without feeling exhausted, even though my mind was thinking a hundred miles a hour. Now, I won’t say this was a bad trip, it was quite revealing and  to that end, disappointing.

I won’t divulge too much more of the evening right now Notes, certainly not in a public post, but I have my own reasons for that. But on that note Notes, I want to give you a nickname, Notes just isn’t in your best interest. I’ll do some brainstorming and I’ll get back to you on that front.

Goodnight.

We’re Waiting

by Michael Raiwet on January 31, 2010

Well good evening http://raiwet.org/notes, I didn’t see you there. I remember back in November, when I brought you to life, I had so many dreams for you. I had visions of you being a blog with thousands of posts and archives that went on for years upon years upon years. With hundreds of unique viewers month after month, people from all aspects of life would wander onto this wonderful little address and check on me and see how I was creating a better world. Each post would be cluttered with comments in which my readership would argue, debate and discuss my thoughts; each of them with a slightly different interpretation of how I see the world.

I came here today to check on how you were doing and low behold, you hadn’t changed at all. You looked so lonely and sad with your “Hello world!” post, that I decided I had to write something. You know what, you’re taller than I remembered.

In case your wondering notes, I quit that job I had. I am going to university now and actually I quite like it. I tend to go home on the weekends, I’m not sure if I’m homesick or actually have a reason to go… probably just homesick. I haven’t been eating properly notes, and I’m afraid if I don’t get my act together soon, I will be in need of a gym. I try to be the best person I can be but sometimes it’s really hard, there isn’t always a right answer because sometimes when you correct one problem you create another. But I digress, its good to see you and I am really hoping that we start working together more often.
