2015: The Year of Full Album Listens

This year I have made it a goal to listen to more albums in their entirety. In doing so I decided to keep track of everything I listen to. So far it's been an amazing experience. 

I am trying to listen to all sorts of stuff. Old favorites, new styles and artists, and almost anything interesting that gets released. 

I break it down by month to make it more digestible. 

Albums that have repeat listens within the month are accompanied by the number of times I listened through that month. This resets each new month. 

* denotes that I listened to that album on vinyl. 

Hopefully this encourages you to listen all the way through an amazing record. Here's to music being the greatest thing in the world. 

Social Media Replacement

Feeling some blog posts today. Need the computer, I'll check in later. To discuss: Rhinehaus, Deeper Roots Coffee, Money, girlfriend, family. Maybe other things. Probably other things. Not having my Copeland pre order even though release date was 2 weeks ago. Late night burrito causing gas. Maybe a bathroom review. Who knows. 

Bathroom A Tavola

Hands down my favorite bathroom I frequent. A Tavola Madeira. Come visit. 

Barista Game

6:10 am the alarm goes off. The last thing I want to do is get out of bed and go to work. It's cold outside. My car is cold. I'm the only person at the shop. Setting up the pop up shop is a pain in the ass. The bartender didn't close properly the night before. First customer comes in and it's bleh. Second customer and it's better. By three and four I'm doing great. Toss a cup of coffee in the mix and I am in the greatest mood. Conversations start flowing. Connections are happening. Ideas are coming. 

This progression is vicious and addicting. It's why I think I will always have a hand in the barista game, however small it may be. Even down the road as I look to start my own shop I hope that I always find a way to pull some opening shifts. 

Adopt-a-cat

For the second time in my life, I am living with a cat that is not actually mine. 
My current roommate is named Edgar and he is the cutest bastard that walks on four legs. He is starting to come around to the place and me. I take a lot of pictures so I will post them here. 

He thinks he is human.

The eyes are how he gets away with everything and everything.

Yes, he is that big. 

This happens all the time. 

Weirdo.

Mondays New Fresh Look

Last week I started working at the roastery (hereby refereed to as "the farm") for Deeper Roots on Mondays. I refer to myself as Courtney's bitch, as I am there to make her life easier and to bag a whole lot of coffee. If you order coffee from us for Mondays roast it most likely was bagged by me! I love the break from customers while still being immersed in the world of coffee. 

Pictures!

My new view every Monday.

Trying It Out

In an attempt to separate from social media I will turn to my blog as an outlet for my online life. It's almost impossible to not have a presence on the internet in some way these days however these networks are becoming more and more toxic and over saturated. On here I can post my thoughts, links, pictures etc and you can view them if you so desire. I encourage you to do the same (I think). Well, I'm almost done on the toilet. This has been a great success I feel. I'll leave you with a picture of my girlfriends cat Edgar. We are roommates and he is starting to like me. The pink object is an earplug. He enjoys playing with them and this one got stuck to his claw.
