All of this blank, inviting space. I don’t even know if anyone will really READ this, but I’m procrastinating on a paper, at any rate.

It’s at this point in the semester where you just wish to stop time for a few weeks, so that you can complete all of your projects at a leisurely pace, instead of rushing to finish them, tripping over your shoelaces in the process.

The paper I’m supposed to be writing is for my Human Behavior class; it’s not due for another week, but the book I’m using is due for return on Saturday and I’ve already maxed out my renewals. The book in question is Beyond Freedom and Dignity, by B.F. Skinner. It’s extremely dry and rather boring. Interesting coming from me, a former psychology major!

So, I’m avoiding writing 2000 words on cultural design and social contingencies by uploading this post and making a new mix CD.

Currently playing: The Buggles “The Plastic Age”

It’s really sad that the media only seized on “Video Killed the Radio Star,” as, in my opinion, the rest of this album really DEFINES the 80s sound. You can hear certain elements in groups that would come later.

Then again, I’m a sucker for 80s music. Most do not understand this love I have for the cheesy rock ballads and hair metal. I will defend my love for Bon Jovi to the ends of the earth. Then again, growing up in New Jersey, I think that’s kind of bred into you.

The state of music in Florida depresses me. There don’t seem to be any good radio stations here. Even though K-Rock in New York was getting rather commercial and shitty, it was still ten times better than the stations here. I’ll occasionally listen to the Point (the 80s station), which has such great potential, but it sounds like the same fifty songs over and over!

There are so many directions one can go with a station that purports to play late 70s, all 80s, and early 90s.

How about some punk?
New Wave?
Beuller?
