This is Nick Waterhouse. Have a listen :) He combines the easy listening/jazz horns of the 60’s with blues style guitar playing. I prefer the guitar sound over the horns, but it does make for a nice combo for a “new” sound.

I miss having free time. I mean, I have some free time, but only because I force it in with procrastination. But my mind is always elsewhere; always on things I still need to do and get done. My mind is never free, and I think that is the main reason I have lost the creative spark I once had. I don’t allow my mind to wander anymore. I need to let go of my obligations and just be. For a little while, anyway.

Human Societies Starting to Resemble Ant Colonies
The similarities offer a look at just how ever-growing human societies could collapse.

The human population is growing at such a staggering rate that we are organizing ourselves more like ant supercolonies, with new research finding that we have more in common now with some ants than we do with our closest living animal kingdom relatives.The new study, published in the journal Behavioral Ecology, points out that both humans and ants (termites, too) live in societies that may consist of up to a million plus members.

I experienced an invasion of my mind by a transcendentally rational mind, as if I had been insane all my life and suddenly I had become sane.”

This is my eleven-year-old sister’s speech for school on a topic that she feels very, very strongly about. She chose gay rights and I’m so, so proud of her. My parents have raised us to be accepting of all people, and obviously they’re doing a great job. This is a perfect example that even the younger generation is full of compassion and open minds for those who are shunned/looked down on because of their sexuality.
When my mom posted this to Facebook, she tagged Lady Gaga in it. Lady Gaga is Leehem’s idol, and despite all of the popularity her speech is getting from people all around the world, she keeps asking,
“Did Lady Gaga like it yet?”
I think Leehem just wants her to know that she believes just as strongly as she does that baby, we were born this way.
