about me
This will be a spot where I will share the experiences that make up my life.
Some things that may show up here are movies that I watch, that I feel a need to share. Music that I stumble upon throughout the day that must be discovered by your listening ears. Conversations I over hear and ideas I have. Articles and works of Art, although not my own, that I feel are moving or worth the glance.
So I hope all you tumblrs enjoy.

That Kind Of Woman: The People You Will Fall In Love With In Your 20s
By Ryan O’Connell
You will fall in love with someone who annoys you, whose orgasm face looks and feels pathetic. Despite all of this, there’s something keeping you drawn to them, something that makes you want to protect them from the harsh world. What you fail to realize, however, is that you are…
Hang drum instrumental.
The Hang - The Musical Flying Saucer
Created in 2000, the Hang (pronounced “hung”) is one of the younger musical instruments. It comes from Bern, Switzerland, and was created by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer OF THE PANArt Company. It was the result of many years of research on the steel pan and many other resonating percussion instruments from around the world: Gong, Gamelan, Ghatam, drums, cowbells, MUSICAL Saw…
There are many Hang models with various MODES proposed by PANArt. However, since each Hang is tuned individually, you are encouraged - if so inspired - to design your own “tone circle”. Thus you participate in the creation of an instrument that best meets your own creative needs. The PANArt firm through its various regional representatives can help you in this project.In the Bernese language, Hang refers to the human hand, as in “hand-drum.” This percussion instrument is comprised of two metal hemispheres bonded together: the DING side and the GU side.
The DING side CONTAINS 8 tone fields which together form the “tone circle” (scale or mode). This circle surrounds a central dome, called the DING (which sounds like a Gong).
On the GU side, there is a hand size hole (called the GU) for sound resonance. The GU can be played like an udu, or used to modulate the sound of the DING.There are many ways to invite the Hang to sound: with fingertips, thumbs, and the heel of the palm - and a mix of all three. Most of the time, the Hang sits on the player’s knees, but you also could play it on a drum stand. Players can let their hands and their feelings discover how to play. Indeed, there are no rules for playing except one: the joy of music!
The Hang makes friends quickly. In my experience, people remember it as a fantastic instrument with a fabulous tone from the first time they encounter it, and musicians are intrigued by it as soon as they touch it. The Hang is on its way to centre stage.

What’s so good?ByAnu Rana| December 6th, 2012
It’s been awhile since “Bad Girls” and even longer see the Vicki Leekx Mixtape, so some impatient Twitter fans decided to get what they wanted. After lovingly harassing M.I.A via social media, she relented and sent one of them “aTENtion.”
It’s a militant take on M.I.A’s characteristic bangin’ tribal beats. It’s satiating enough for today, but we’ll see if it holds fans over until upcoming Mathangi, slated for release some time in 2013.
Reflections of People I’ve Known from Places I’ve Been
I am sitting on the 3rd floor, writing and reflecting on my feelings that were brought up from my last counseling lab, so many feelings. As I took a break I looked into the glass window to see a reflection that resembled a person I knew in my past. I shook my head, not turning around to look to validate my suspicions. I didn’t turn around because there is no way. Then I began to think about how when I walk around I see faces similar to the ones I’ve seen back in North Carolina. Mere reflections of people I’ve seen, Ghosts. That is what our interactions become. The interactions and moments in time are stored in our mind as memories, only to project as images we apply to strangers. Strangers who become ghosts that we don’t speak to or are moved to interact because we know these are mere projections.
I CAN SAY THAT YOU LOOK PRETTY, YOU TURN MY LEGS INTO SPAGHETTI, YOU SET MY HEART ON FIRE
Influential grazes soused my everything and I am left to consolidate my abstractions as I abstain from proceeding with intentional and consensual handling.
