still trying to get where i'm going

"But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.
That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures define you – you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time...
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new."

even worse than i thought

Turns out it is a mix of a mix. I guess the singing version is a little better.

another rip off

I heard this on the radio this morning and couldn't believe it. Are there any rappers/mixers out there who every now and then can write their own melodies/music to sample? I can appreciate the creativity of pieces that are mixed well and written well but that isn't the case in this situation. The thing that bothers me the most is all of the people out there that are fed music on top 40 stations and think that all of these pop artists/rappers are totally original and write the entirety of the song including the pieces that they sample. Most people won't know that a great song from Imogen Heap was ruined.
