Vous remercier Glen Pour Rappeler de M'Etre Reconnaissant

Today was one of those days where all the pieces come together to make something cooler than you first imagined. I submitted my RA application today,which I thought was going to kill me due to my procrastination. But, He is gracious enough to cut me some slack, even when I don't deserve it.

I am oh so very pleasantly surprised and happy about where I am right now. If the weather was warmer, I would sit under a tree, complete with that old checkboard cloth, Paper Towns by John Green, my iPod, and some homemade iced tea. As for me, right now, I choose to write my blog with wet socks, Earl Grey, some homework calling my name, and a board game waiting for my piece.

Oh! One last thing, before I offer up an incredible song. On February 10th, I am going to see Brett Dennen at the World Cafe Live in Philly with my Papa!! Also, if there are any Ben Kweller fans out there who read this blog (doubt it), if you pre-order his new album, you get a free autographed poster. Awesome, right?

I chose this song for two reasons. One-I love Glen Phillips (former lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket). I think he's a genious and a wise man. He's the one to go to for beautiful, sheer honesty in music. Thank you, Chico, for introducing me to this ringmaster of acoustic brilliance. Two-The song's called "I Don't Need Anything (That I Don't Already Have)". I need to listen to this song more often because it takes the sleep out of my eye in order to accurately see how blessed I am.

P.S. I ususally fast from music on Thursdays. I didn't listen to any though today. =) Can't say the same for last week.

P.P.S. Correction: Fleet Foxes' entire album needs to be on my snow playlist. Amazing snow soundtrack that I highly recommend. More on that later.

Title: "Thank You Glen For Reminding Me To Be Thankful" in French
In My Head: The awesomeness of the song "A Joyful Noise" by the same oh so magnificant G. Phil.
