Im moving out to Portland tomorrow. But for now I am in Detroit with my Grandparents.
Last night I stayed up watching the Food Network and they have a show on there that is something like "The Ultimate Cupcake Challenge" or something cheesy like that. Its a show where they pick four bakers known for their sweet treats and put them up against each other by giving them challenges and who does the worst gets voted out. There are three challenges: A secret ingredient challenge where the judges give them a selection of ingredients and they have to use at least two of them. Then there is a Taste/Presentation challenge where the cupcake not only excites the tongue but also the eyes! The last Challenge is a 1000 cupcake display that is pretty similar to the second round but just on a larger scale. The episode I saw there was a vegan baker on it. It was unbelievable how much criticism she received and she actually won. In your face!

Should We Stop, No.
Im in a very weird stage of my life right now.
Im almost 24 years old and i consider myself lucky that death hasn't hit close to home yet. But today I experienced the closest, someone who I barely knew, didnt plan on getting to know, and had very very little respect for; virtually, none. But their death was close enough to knock me back for a bit. Close enough for me to dedicate almost my entire day to thinking about his death and how it has affected everyone that knew him, especially his family, and i cant even imagine what they are going through and it hurts just to think about it. To have to see a mother and a father raise and bury their child is, without a doubt in my mind, the worst thing that could ever happen. I dont know what to say, other than, life moves on. No matter what, life continues. Death is a heavy heavy thing, something that no one should accept, but we must not forget that Life is just as heavy, and with the death of one, no matter how close it is, we must understand that we still have our own life. And to become even more grateful for what life we do have. Just stay positive, inspired, strong, and you cant let death keep you from taking another step, if anything, make that step even stronger then the one before. For that is life, Moving forward and growing. Without Life there is no Death, and without Death there is no Life.
I dont know what else to say.
How about what am I getting myself into?
College, graduate school, new places, new people, new things.

Long time, No see.
Ever get an album that almost forces you to keep listening to it? You try to listen to something else but you just end up wanting to go back to that one album...
Well, i just got The Tallest Man On Earth: Shallow Grave, and I can not stop listening to it.
Alot of stuff has been happening, but being busy is no excuse.
Im break dancing, house dancing, performing, speaking French, doing math, bowling, watching movies, cooking, making coffee for other people, playing games, and counting my change.
Im going to get out of this city, sooner than later.

Top what ev's of the past decade...
so the year 2009 is almost done, that means the year 2010 is about to start. And what does the number 10 represent when speaking in the matter of years? The end of a decade and begining of a new decade...or something. Well this one is pretty significant cause its the end of the first decade of the 2000's, the 21st century. So what comes with the end of a decade? Lists...lots of lists. Top 10, top 20, top this, top that, blah blah blah. A whole bunch of lists.
For me, this list making was started when my good friend Arron asked me to do a top 10 albums of 2009 or top 10 albums of the past decade, cause she owns the best record shop in Traverse City, Mi. that i frequently visit. And she wanted to put my lists up on their websit...awesome................
So, now i will begin to create lists:
My first one will be the lists i submitted to Arron:
top 10 of 2009:
Speech Debelle - Speech Therapy
Nosaj Thing - Drift
Converge - Axe To Fall
Trapped Under Ice - Secret Of the World
Benoit - Demo '09
Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
Finale - A Pipe Dream And A Promise
Hudson Mohawk - Polyfolk Dance EP
Soul Control - Cycles
Set Your Goals - This Will Be the Death Of Us
If you were to ask me, the year 2009 was a pretty weak year for music, in an indefinate limbo between all the different formats and media acceptance of music. Some of the best independent artist being signed to huge major labels, some of the best independent labels trying to act like they are a major label, major label artists dropping back to independent labels. Downloading, Itunes, Digital Radio, Podcasts, Videos, blah blah blah....but with all the crap and mediocre music being released it just made the good releases EVEN BETTER! So when you listened to it, within the first song you were like "Wow, this is so much better then everything else right now, already!"
Top 10 of the Decade
2000 up to 2004
Q and Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep (2000)
North Of America - Brothers and Sisters (2003)
7 Angels 7 Plagues - Jahzmynes Lullaby (2001)
the Locust - Plague Soundscapes (2003)
Planes Mistaken For Stars - Up in Them Guts (2004)
Sigur Ros - ( ) (2002)
Dilute - Grape Blueprints Pour Spinach Olive Grape (2002)
Converge - Jane Doe (2001)
Tortoise - Its All Around You (2004)
Wolf Eyes - Burned Mind (2004)
2005 up to 2010
Flying Lotus - Los Angelas (2008)
Modern Life Is War - Witness (2005)
Converge - No Heroes (2006)
Battles - Mirrored (2007)
Daft Punk - Human After All (2005)
Animal Collective - Feels (2005)
Burial - Untrue (2007)
the Cool Kids - Bake Sale EP (2008)
Ceremony - Still Nothing Moves You (2008)
Radiohead - In Rainbows (2007)
So, i started making a top 10 list of the decade, i had it all ready and good...and then i started thinking about the FULL 10 years. I mean, i went through almost all of junior high and all of high school through the first part of this past decade and those are filled with huge musical expiriances, loads of discovery and finding new music and everything. I worked in a record store for almost 4 years for pete' sake! I discovered so much new music that i am in fact, STILL laughing about it. So i had to split it up, early half of decade and late half of decade. And still then, they are all personal preferances. Now if you were to ask me about the more political side of these lists and have me make a lists of music that i feel benefited and expanded the entire music culture, bands and albums who pushed boundries, created new levels, and who really taught the listeners the TRUE meaning of music, then i can do that too. But what you see up there, are simply the albums that i feel benefited me. When i think back on a special time of my life, what was i listening to most? Or how can i leave an album out of the "Top whatever" lists that i listened to every single day for two years straight? You might not have listened to that album as much as me, you might not even like it, but for me...Its in my top 10 lists...But even then, if i were to sit here and make a lists of groups and bands who pushed boundries its still personal preferance, its still my opinion, your opinion probably differs from mine.
So thats the first of the music top 10 lists. Oh, and i guess i will tell you now that they are not in any particular order, there is no #1 or anything.

Rousseau and the Meaning of Life.
So, this morning on my walk to class i thought of something really interesting and i was like "Hey, that would be cool to type about in my BLOG!" but of coarse, the time is now here and i have forgotten it...
So, lets try back track and start and the potential roots of what may have birthed the idea i had this morning. It had something to do with finding the meaning of life...
"Wow, Lance, what a way to start your day!"
I know i know...its just a random reoccurring thought i get every once in a while...no big deal....
But it may begin with what i was talking about in my last post: Iv been getting into alot of philosophy and currently I am reading Jean-Jacques Rousseau: The Social Contract and the First and Second Discourses. One idea of his i have attached to most is his idea that WE the people are enslaved by ourselves. How are we enslaved? Well basically how we have built our society and how much we depend on other people. Just think of ONE thing that we can do without having to depend on someone else....
I'll give you a couple of seconds to think about this.....
Nothing....We depend on someone to something for us always....to fulfill simple or natural needs like going to the bathroom. Yeah, we are in TOTAL control of our own baldder...sometimes, but where are you going to go? Someone needs to do the plumbing and set up a toilet for us right? Or perhaps be a spotter while you pee behind a parked car...
Even eating, we have people make our food for us and go grocery shopping for us, and how do we do this? Cars, roads, utensils, everything made by another person who is depending on that job that you depend on him/her for so that they can put food on their table...
Do you see where i am going? Now im not singling myself out either, saying i dont depend on anyone, i mean, iv lived on my own since i was 19 or something and i still have my mom do my laundry, so there!
Very seldom are we able to complete a task without someone else hands helping us.
But, within this I have focused a lot of attention on questioning MATERIALISM. Buying things we don't need strictly to boost our appearance to others. Why do we need leather car seats when fabric does just as good? Why do we need these expensive blue jeans when all pairs of blue jeans look pretty much exactly the same? Now i dont know where im getting with all this, but its certainly something to think about, how pretty much our own worst enemy is ourselves and there is really nothing to do about it...
And that's where it all begins, the meaning of life. I dont know the meaning of life, but I'm pretty sure its probably something really close to exactly what you (WE) are doing with our own lives right now. But how, amongst all this enslavement and dependence on other people and materialism, do we get our own meanings in our own INDEPENDENT lives? I feel this is why I have chosen to be vegan or why i have chosen to be straight edge. To keep me grounded in my own life on my own world. Not as a campaign against the meat industry or anything, but its something i can hold onto, stronger then any pair of jeans i have bought or larger then any house you can buy. Its who I am. Break dancing, or any form of dancing is an expression stronger then any expression you will find printed on a t-shirt. I believe these are what give us meaning, our personal endeavors, not our personal property or belongings. And it's just too bad that there are actually people out there who are so caught up in how they appear to others that they forget the more organic importance of individualism and of life and they focus more on how they want their hair to look like.
And thats that...i guess. Take it how you want, if you take it all...
How about some more basic stuff...
Breakdancing is doing real well, we are performing at a real big halloween party at the Terminal. Its probably going to be the biggest party on hallween night, so thats good. Oh and who will we be performing with? Lyric Born...i know, no big deal really...
This performance is definatly way better then the last one too. I think i have learned more about breakdancing while practicing and running this routine than at the actual classes that Im taking. While doing this performance i have also gotten into a couple more styles of dancing, one is popping and locking, kind of like moving like a robot and stuff. The other is House dancing, i have been taking House classes for a couple months now but its becoming more of an interest now.
Just check out some of this house dancing...one of the best videos of house dancing on the net!
And then this is an awesome video of some old school kids doing some popping and locking
Alright, well, im going to end this now.
I was listening to the new Tiesto while typing some of this and I usually dont like Tiesto or techno really...but his new album is pretty cool, has a bunch of guest appearances, one of which is by Jonsi of Sigur Ros. Awesome.
Other listens have been:
Rise and Fall
Nosaj Thing
Bibio
Pivot
Flying Lotus...Ha, i just keep listing him, cause he is that good, i do always listen to him...
