(What, were you expecting a decent simile?) Therefore I have turned my love for music into a hobby of creating mixes. Mixes are a great way to shape a certain mood through someone else's art.

These resolutions range from the clichéd "loose weight", "get a job", or "get out of debt"; to the more exotic ones like "learn to ride a motorcycle", "sleep ten hours a night", or even "get laid more often". While I could greatly benefit from all of these, I never pick them.

I still work at "el Home Depo", no longer as a lot tech but as a regular sales associate in Building Materials. I still hate it. I now understand why none of the other associates enjoy helping people. People expect you to serve them from start to finish --please them to the fullest.

Just when I was getting used to being happy I got a job. I work for the number two retailer in the United States of America: Home Depot. Since apparently "free-lance programming" isn't a real job the only position they could offer me was "Lot Tech", a position that truly sounds nicer on paper.

Don't get me wrong, it's not hard, it's just very tedious. I am very close to changing my major, I know I won't be able to stand four years of math. If I do change my major I have pinned down three options:
Political Science
Business Administration, emphasis on Computer Information Systems
Journalism

Why? The answer is simple: I enjoy
music. Music is my antidrug™. I don't follow trends. I like what I like
because it appeases my ears. I'm not a scenester nor a world-music snob
(Ironic... keep reading). I hate trends, but I'm not anti-conformist. For
