Brandon, Who Lives At Home

Writing while listening to music, the new Bon Iver album. While watching one of my favorite YouTubers Dustin Kloeppel's  latest video he was inspired to write while listening to the lasted Bon Iver album 22, A Million . He got the idea from a tweet from another one of my favorite YouTubers Wylie Phenix .  It inspired me to give it a try given how much I've been connecting with music lately I thought this was a great idea.  Dustins video There are 10 songs, I wrote what came to mind per song. 22 (OVER S∞∞N) When I was young and in middle school, it was such a strange time for me. I was a whirlwind of happiness and sadness. I still had my first dog who would soon run away and never be seen again, it was a devastating time, but I had a group of friends I spent a lot of time with playing super smash brothers on the N64. It's interesting how time seemed infinite back then, this was both good and bad. The very next school year in 8th grade things would radical...

Saturday I learned that my checking account was in overdraft by 85 dollars! It seems Planet Fitness already took out its once yearly equipment fee of 40 -50$ which I didn't think would be until sometime next year and would be with some kind of notice, nope.
