So, I’ve made establishing my sense of self my main goal for 2012. This is really an umbrella of sorts - I want to read more, have more intelligent discussion, stand up for what I believe in, become more independent, yadda yadda. I feel like I have it in me to make big strides. A big thing I want to do is become more financially responsible. I’ve ridden my parents’ coattails for...

New Year's Eve
If there’s one thing I will always do, it’s romanticize New Year’s Eve. I always look forward to a New Year, and I enjoy the possibility of new beginnings. This past year, 2011, has blown by. It has without a doubt been one of the most eventful years of my life. My band put out a record and went on our first tour, and I think we have a lot to look forward to in 2012. Coming back...

A Matter of Faith
So, I’m an atheist. Throughout the course of my life, I’ve gone through phases of feeling religious, and feeling a connection to some sort of higher power, but it’s never something that stuck. I could go into my rationale for feeling this way. I could talk about the reading I’ve done and the things I’ve seen in my life to make me feel this way. But that isn’t...

coreydiscovery: I know to a lot of people, if a label show’s interest in their music… they wet themselves. I wish I still had that reaction. Through working with labels and what not, I just generally have the feeling that “I know what you’re doing, and I’m pretty confident that I’m just as capable… if not more…

I just got done having a really great chat with my friend and roommate Chris about different paths in life. We were talking about the city we live in, Ypsilanti. Chris is in his fourth year at Eastern Michigan, and I’m a college dropout. Chris is looking at graduating next year and then going on to a graduate program, and I’ve been in and out of schools for the past four years...

A Frustrated Liberal
2008 was the first presidential election I could vote in. I’ve had an interest in politics long before this, however. I started researching who I would vote for in 2007. I was immediately drawn to Barack Obama, a progressive candidate who seemed, to me, to have a lot of the answers to America’s problems. I proudly cast my vote for him in November 2008, and was nearly brought to tears...

I feel like I have life-block lately. I think it started with getting writer’s block, and then just carried over to my entire life. As silly as that sounds. I feel different. I can’t exactly place how or why, but I feel different. I don’t know why I can’t place it. I’ve always been pretty self-aware, but this time I’m stumped. I feel like life is just droning...

We made a new Tumblr site, so if you were already following that one, you should now follow this one. I mean, if you want. And if you weren’t, well, now is a great time to start!
