     It's been a while since I've posted on WeAreIU and some things felt unfinished so I thought I'd post just one more for the Summer.  Things with Tree Machine have slowed down for now and I've been spending most of my time with summer school and work at Opey Taylor's.  I had a chance to go to...

At the end of this dead week, I feel "dead" tired from all of the papers and projects I have had to complete. I  know it's my fault for procrastinating on assignments I've known about for months, but what college kid doesn't do that? However, there is one thing that has gotten me through this week:...

Hello again, everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted; some things happened in my life that caused me to be EXTREMELY busy.  In fact, that's exactly what this post is about.

But let me tell you, it will NEVER be forgotten.  I expected Lil5 to be a week of madness and arrests and tickets and having my car towed. And, thankfully, it was NONE of those things. Well, maybe some madness! It...

Each fall and spring semester at IU, there is this week before all semester exams are given that is most affectionately known as "Dead Week."  The name "Dead Week" sort of speaks for itself.  Students have gone through more than four months of academic trials and tribulations to reach this part of...

This is kind of a long post, but it holds a lot of value so if you read it at all, read it to the end… As usual here are a couple tracks for your thoughts.  One day I’ll learn to produce great tracks like this, but for now just enjoy a few of my many influences. ....take your pick.... Tree Music:...

I have two weeks and two days left of my sophomore year. It's crazy, and it also seems like a very short time to fit in everything I need to do.  I just registered for next semester, and it looks like my schedule is exactly the way I wanted it. Yes! But how do I survive two 8-12 page research paper,...
