Bollocks...

well, today is a sort of sad day for me. yesterday i got the official letter from OSU saying that they didn't want me for their graduate school program in creative writing. this is the second school to deny me and even though there are many out there who have applied way more than me, this still stings. i really wanted to go there. for one, it's only about an hour and a half away plus it's in my home state. also, it seemed that the program was going to meet all my needs. the things i wanted to do in a graduate study program. the letter said i didn't showcase enough, "readiness" in my portfolio. i guess that's a nice way of saying, "you're not good enough." ugh, i don't know if that's the case, but i can't help but feel really disappointed with myself... i have no clue as to what to do with now. the only thing that comes to mind as an option is joining the armed services. they would want me right???

ugh, since i'm bummed right now, i guess i want some bummer music. or better yet, some post-punk styled music from, The National.



this band comes from, ohio and new york, and have been making their own style of music since 1999. first starting out with a sort of americanna style with influence from Bruce Springsteen, they self released a self titled album and got some attention from the indie labels. after another full length album, the band began to garner much critical acclaim and with that was also the sort of change into the nu-wave/post-punk revival in the early 2000's. they are often compared to classic acts like, Joy Division, The Chamelions, and Echo & the Bunnymen, but for today's current scene, they are lumped in with bands like, Interpol, The Editors, Bloc Party, The Killers and Franz Ferdinand.

today i have two albums from the national. these are the one's which made them big in the underground, and helped the band travel and play many more shows all across the world. first is the album titled, Alligator. after that we come to the high praised and most popular album by the band called, The Boxer. this is a truly awesome album and one not to miss if you are into this sort of thing. also below you will find the art for their newest album titled, High Violet. i don't have the link for this one, so it's up to you to search for it when it drops sometime in may. now get out of here and have a better day than me...
