Graduation!




Finally, after 5 years of college I am officially a graduate. Its a pretty awesome thing to be able to say, but just means new responsibilities and student loans. As a whole graduation was quite the experience. Everyone woke up to what they expected to be a huge rain storm and found an amazing day outside; but I think we all knew it was too good to be true. About half way through the UNBELIEVABLY BORING commencement speech the dark clouds started rolling in. Instead of stopping the speech when he first noticed the clouds, the speaker decided to wait until it was almost pouring to say "I think I have talked too long." Yeah, I think thats a little obvious.

After an hour long relocation, the speaker was announced again. He made a nice little joke about not re-starting the original speech and just cutting it all short. Everyone cheered loudly, and then found themselves very disappointed 30 minutes later when we were still listening to the awful speech again. After that was finally finished graduation went by quickly and I was finally a graduate. Overall it was a pretty nice experience to be there with friends and family, even if it means that I will never have another day of bliss in undergraduate education.

In addition, it was brought to my attention there is a pretty sweet up and coming band called Foster the People. I think its a matter of months before these guys are going to get pretty big. They have a really nice sound, that will be enjoyed by fans of Passion Pit or MGMT. Check out this video Houdini...Oh yeah check out the dude in the audience 8 seconds in, That is the kind of mustache that I hope to have in the near future
