There are many times where I debate whether I should take the mature route or the childish-but-really-fun route.
So far, I’ve always taken the mature route, but sometimes I wonder.

I just met Madeline Follin from Cults.
Oh my god oh my god oh my GOD
First of all, Cults was amazing in concert. Seriously, if they’re coming to your town, go see them.
Second… Madeline Follin is ridiculously attractive.

I'm in Mexico.
Mexico is an interesting place. I know I don’t want to make sweeping statements about an entire country, but for what I can take from it, Mexico is, was, and (for the most part) always has been lovely.
The temperature is perfect right now. I can walk the beach in a t-shirt and shorts without feeling to hot or too cold. There are so many birds, so many different species of animals that...

An open letter to typefaces.
Dear typefaces,
I love you. This isn’t even like a “I love you like I love the beach” love; this is a hardcore “I want to take you home and do terrible, wonderful things to you” love. Okay, maybe not that far. Nonetheless, it is a love.
I can’t explain explain why I love you, typefaces. I can’t explain why when I look at a banner or sign or advertisement...

So I mention this in today’s PDS (not posted yet), but my dad recently visited me for a week because he is about to go into dialysis and will have a hard time traveling after that has begun. If you don’t know, my father and I have PKD (Polycystic Kindey Disease). Its this congenital disease…

Screw that. Not going to prom. Probably going to watch movies and chill out with friends instead.

themountainsofmourne-deactivate asked: Oh my GOD brad it doesn't matter if the shit about Richard Hayne is not "new news", it's still news and people deserve to know about it. Also, I'd like you to show me the last time you Googled a company before going to shop at their store. That's irrational and extremely irregular for, I don't know, everyone. The method to the madness is just to spread the word;...

I'm growing out my facial hair for the whole month...
a) it looks disgusting.
b) I’m thinking when the month is over, I’m going to shave it down to a really distracting, tasteless mustache, just for the hell of it.

but tonight was a pretty damn good night. Watched “The Room” with the Z Movie Society and then hung out with a group of great people and played “Cards Against Humanity”. It was just a pretty swell night.

So I tried an experiment today involving English...
Before I start, let me just say that I love my school’s English department. I love the teachers, the classrooms, and the curriculum for the most part is enticing and wonderful and makes me love coming to my English classes everyday.
However, all is not well in paradise. See, I tried an experiment in my English department about the subjectivity of literature. This experiment was simple:...

So I'm single now.
Breaking up is weird. Breaking up is like having someone kick the social ladder out from under you, and although you usually land on your feet, your ankles are sore for weeks. Because we’re both still in high school, our lives are so naturally intertwined that almost everything we do involves interaction with each other. I didn’t like that originally, but I really don’t like it...

So I just interviewed the frontman for the band...
and oh my god is he nice. Seriously, if you haven’t checked out Absolutely yet, WHY THE HECK NOT? It’s some of the best 90’s era post-hardcore type stuff I’ve heard in a long time, and best of all, you can pay whatever you want for their album. Get the album here (it’s great) and I’ll probably post a link to the interview sometime soon. If you want to hear a...

alluneedislol asked: Hey! Read your Explorers 6 review - really enjoyed it. I thought your description was very interesting and mainly spot-on. My opinion differs slightly from yours, so I'll likely reblog with some thoughts added, but I wanted to thank you for posting it and I hope you continue to review albums in the future :)

A note on people who do good for the wrong reasons
So every year the school that I go to allows students to decide on a charity that the school will sponsor for the year. A “sponsorship” from our school means that whenever we hold an event for charity (which is often), all of the proceeds go towards the student-chosen charity. Previous sponsorships include Invisible Children and H2O for Life. This year, the charity that was decided...
