“quit your job, buy a ticket, get a tan, fall in love, never return”

7 Jan

Easing myself back into blogging. My brain temporarily shut itself off over Christmas and am finding it hard to turn it back on.

I ignored all forms of news sources for about a week – Obama could have landed on the moon and I would have been none the wiser!

*Gah*

I am now on the iPhone/iPad bandwagon – I can’t understand how I survived without any of these magical gadgets for so long.

Tunein Radio is one of my fave apps as a radio addict! You can listen to stations throughout the country/world on your iPhone – yes it seems everyone has been aware of this for years, shame on me! Besides the usual suspects: Spin 103.8, Today FM and all the BBC stations my fave discovery is Hot 97 – a Hip Hop station in New York!

I am so Gangstaaaa! Which is actually the name of one of my playlists.

Speaking of Hip Hop I downloaded I Am T-Pain – an app that uses autotuner on your voice as you belt a some choons. I’m on my way to starting my professional Hip-Hop/Rap career. Pre-order my single here.

Quite liking 2011 so far I must say. Starting piano lessons again next Thursday (played for years before college) – decided instead off attempting to give something up as a new year’s resolution I would take something up instead. Decided taking up smoking might not be the best idea… lung cancer and all that jazz, plus smelly hair. Although Mad Men makes me want to be a chain smoker.

Think I’ll make a 2011 vision board for my room (have yet to decorate properly!) plus I love cutting pictures out of magazines and sticking glitter ad stringy items all over the place… but until then I’ll use this post as a vision board of sorts!

    Good idea about taking something up instead, I find that always works better than denying yourself things! Take up the gym, or give up chocolate… I’d rather go to the gym!

      Yeah definitely – always more positive taking things up!

    love those photos! I love your NYR and I also love the mood board idea, I kinda have one which is by my dresser (the side of my wardrobe). I need to add more to it, though – it’s looking a bit bare…! xx

      Yeah I must def put one up in my room! I have yet to decorate properly! Disaster!

    Tell me please, who is the author of “quit your job, buy a ticket, get a tan, fall in love, never return”? I’ve seen it on Island Company Shirts but I don’t think it originated there. Can you help me, please?
