Clearly I've been on a Deadmau5 kick since I went to see him for my birthday. The first time I found Arguru on YouTube, I knew Christian had put it on one of his sets. Well, I found out this week that it's on TWO of his sets; "Deliver Me" and "Global" (which also has You Never Said). I'm really into Deadmau5's sound right now and have been leaning towards a little harder trance tracks.

Some of my favorite lyrics I have ever heard come from You Never Said. "I'm right back where I started out, not a lot to show just memories." That's how I have felt for the last couple of years. I don't really have anything to show for what I've been doing with my life, but I would not trade the people I've met, and the experiences I've had for anything in the world. Not even my medical degree (beside the point that I don't actually have it yet).

The Chris Lake track is on Skip's Picks Vol. 2 and is my ABSOLUTE favorite on that disc. It is nice and dirty and has awesome piano and gets me groovin every time I hear it!

Deliver Me is the last track on Christian's "Deliver Me" set. When I looked it up on YouTube, the Hush remix was just the first one that came up and it happened to be the right mix. I listened to the original, but it wasn't the one that I knew from Christian's set. This one, again, is a bit harder but I'm really into it. I could listen to this one over and over.

The Massive Attack cover is by an artist that a girl at work pointed me towards. I can't remember the song she sent me to, but I saw that he had a cover of Teardrop, so I listened and ended up really liking it. When I have some more time, I think I'll check out more of Newton Faulkner's stuff. He could be worth finding out about.

Finally, The Script. BreakEven is a song that N___ gave me saying that she couldn't stop listening to it over and over and over and over. I listened, and liked the lyrics a lot. Then the tune got me. I'm with her 100% on BreakEven; I LOVE IT! Well worth listening to, at least a couple of times.

Update #3

A lot has happened in the last few months so I thought I would do another "Update" post.

I am still living with G___ and her two girls.

I have an AMAZING job with the Utah State Bar that I love and has incredible benefits (which are worth at least as much as my salary).

I'm back on my insulin pump. My A1C in January was 8.1% and I go again next week (April 1st) and am incredibly anxious to see how I've been doing.

I have a boy in Kansas and things are good. Even though I'm not entirely sure our "status" I feel like things are progressing. He is good for me and I love him.

I just recently figured out what to do with my life. And that entails finishing my Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and then going to medical school. K___ (in Kansas) is someone that has been inspirational in recognizing his dreams and then taking the necessary steps to actualize them. Since making this decision, I have reapplied (and been reaccepted) to the U and am SO excited to finally get my life started...hopefully by the time I'm 35 :)

I turned 25 on March 15th and had the best birthday ever! We partied at S___'s house and I wore my party dress and saw Deadmau5 and had breakfast at Porcupine and hit a bucket of balls and had Sunday Funday and kicked off summer, according to Sh___. It was wicked fun!!

Just like the last "Update," I have never been as happy as I am now. It just keeps getting better!

Quarter Century Mark

Whew, I made it! I will be 25 on Sunday and I am so excited for my birthday. We are going to see Deadmau5 (yay!) on Friday out at Saltair (boo) to start the celebration. G___ did such a good job planning my party last year that she said she would take care of everything and I should just sit back and relax. Which I fully intend on doing. I will post an update of the weekend's debauchery, I mean...festivities sometime next week.

I love my birthday. Even if there isn't a whole lot going on on Sunday (my actual birthday) I still just love it!

Every year I give a birthday present to myself, and this year it is a plane ticket to Kansas. I was talking to K___ on Monday about it and decided that it would be the best birthday present ever. The flight I'll be on lands in KC at 10:45pm on the 19th so when we were texting on Monday, I asked if he was okay picking me up that late and his response was:

Yes, any time is fine with me if it's you.

My heart melted a litle bit more for him when I got that one. I'm going to have a hard time waiting several more months after this trip before seeing him again.
