SAM/DAN!

Hess here.

Ah Eggs, you speak my language. I hear you on that whole first paragraph, start to finish. I am most definitely NOT on the path I want to be on; actually, I am on the exact path that I absolutely do not want to be on. What's more, if I continue on in this way, I will end up one of those massive people who never leaves her house and smells unusual and is always bitching at everyone and needs to move layers of fat in order to zip up her jeans. These are things I would like to avoid if at all possible, but right now, I am on the fast track to Fatville and this train ain't stoppin'. I make light of it, but it really is a serious situation. I don't want to be unhealthy and unhappy with how I look. I don't want to feel icky all the time. This needs to change.

I am currently writing my paper while getting excited about the second half of your post! I can't believe there are less than two weeks until Sam/Dan. I feel like most Canadians know of both these acts, but mostly just in name, particularly the ever-underrated Dan Mangan. Whoever doesn't really know these artists' music is really missing out on some amazing stuff. Dan Mangan's song "Rows of Houses" is on repeat on my iPod right now, and everyone in the world should listen to "Basket" at some point. And as for Sam Roberts, there is nothing like "Words and Fire" to make you think and feel at the same time. AMAZING. Must-listen list 101.

Anyways, my paper is abysmal so far. The research is done, for the most part, but I still have to write most of it and organize the crap that I do have. Ugh. Life just needs to stop for one full year and let me catch up.

Hope your week is good.
