Music Roundup


So I’m sitting my car today and my cell phone goes off. I reach to my pocket, but wait! My phone isn’t ringing. Then why am I hearing my ringtone? It was the radio. The worst radio station in all of Utah was actually playing a good song. Not just a good song, one of my favorite songs, one that is my ringtone.

It was a song by Kate Nash, one of my favorite singers. The song played was called “Foundations”. Apparently she’s growing in popularity and I didn’t even realize it!
On that note, I thought I’d provide a few links to some of my favorite artists. Who knows, these artists might even grow in popularity like Kate Nash.

Hit the link for the list

An Eye Opening Experience In The Form Of A Car Accident

It's always surprising and quite the eye opener when something seriously bad happens around you. Take this car accident to the left for example.*This picture was taken 1 minute after the accident.*

I was on my way home from campus. It was like any other day after a looooong day of class, I just wanted to be home, bad! So you start to be annoyed by each and every light you stop at and even the people crossing the street. "Can't you go any faster? I want to turn left already!" I think to myself. Then as you pull up to the stop light, that you ALWAYS stop at, you hear the most unnerving screech from the tires of a car; witnessing what happened in this picture not too many feet in front of me.

It really brings me back to earth and it's a good reminder that bad things can happen so unexpectedly. Nobody was hurt in this accident thankfully, but it would certainly be bad news for anyone if your only means of transportation just got devoured.

This is the first accident I've ever witnessed as it was happening and also the first time I've given an eye witness report. The cop asked me what I saw, what I heard, where I was at etc.

I suppose the point of this post is that, its surprising when bad things such as this happen, but it's important to realize that they can happen. So be a little more grateful (and careful) that it did not happen to you.
