"I will paint you in silver. I will wrap you in cold..."

Two things today.

1st, I complain about Winter and cold and snow and ice, etc. I don't really care for it. I prefer warm weather. Mostly due to driving. Winter tried to kill me. You'd hate it too. With that said; however, the snow is truly beautiful. Especially in a quiet little mountain town like Boone. True beauty; something this world is lacking.

2nd, two albums for you to go check out if you haven't already. 1) the obvious: Fall Out Boy's "Folie a deux." 2) the not-so obvious: Kanye West's "808s and Heartbreak." It's no secret I've been a huge supporter of Fall Out Boy for their entire exsistence as a band. Their newest release fits nicely into their body of work and touches on some topics they have yet to attack. Now, I've never liked Kanye West and have never made any buts about it. "Stronger," the highly popular single from his last release, "Graduation" caught my attention, but I gave all the credit to Daft Punk, who he sampled heavily on the track. I'm sorry Kanye. "808s..." is an incredible pop disc in an era when said incredible pop discs are a rarity. So check both those out and have a wonderful day! Oh, and if anyone is listening to anything that they would like to share with me, please do so!

Thanks for reading.
