my brother is 6

sometimes it's sad to realize how fast they grow.

it's sad to know that they're getting older and older and that they're not babies anymore.

i'll miss that.

i'm grateful for having brothers and sisters that love me,

the alarm clock trick

there's something i've been doing that gives me a lot of pleasure. you should try it.

i wake up at 6:54 am on school days. on the weekends i use to sleep until later, so what i do is set the alarm even on the weekends, so i wake up at 6:54 am, i look at the clock and i can say : 'f*** you. today i wont wake up at the hours you want'.

i lay in the bed again and i fall asleep, very satisfied.

try it. it'll taste good. you'll feel mighty and powerful :) .

good night,

Bon Iver - 'For Emma, Forever Ago'

Lately I've been listening to indie music, and I guarantee you that this is one of the best indie folk artists that you can find - Bon Iver.

In 2008 they released their debut album called 'For Emma, Forever Ago'. It received some full mark reviews (5/5) from magazines like MOJO and Uncut.

It was also considered as one of the best albums of 2008, and some magazines went farthest and said it was one of the best albums of the decade.

Well, i think I've already given you enough reasons to take a look at this cd if you like indie stuff.

Enjoy.
