This is Sean McConnell.

I love him.

Why, you ask?

Because his songs tell beautiful stories. Because his voice is unmatched by anyone I’ve ever seen perform live. Because he tells the truth in his music. And because his songs are great musically, as far as melodies, chord progressions, and head bobbing goes.

He’s one of those singers that makes you want to yell out “you BETTA sing!” or “Mmm!” after every other line.

He can quiet a bar venue with just his voice and an acoustic guitar. But don’t get him wrong, he definitely pumps out some “lyric-based roots rock,” as he calls it.

Please go visit his myspace at http://www.myspace.com/seanmcconnell and buy his latest EP, The Walkaround EP.

He’s working on another album right now which I am super excited about because he will finally record the song I filmed on Wednesday night, which you (hopefully) watched above, among other songs we’ve been waiting for recordings of. :)

So, tomorrow is my LAST First-Day-Of-School ever.

Here are three things I'd rather do than go to school tomorrow:

1. Clean out my closet.
2. Spend 1 hour with Spencer Pratt. (okay, maybe 20 minutes.)
3. Go back to high school anatomy where things like this happened:




Oh, high school...

There are few things that make my mouth happier than s'mores.

Because my lovely parents got me a firepit for Christmas I was able to test it out tonight with a few friends, and it was so fun. It will be more fun once it's like...y'know...40 degrees instead of 19...but what are you gonna do when the weather forgets we live in Tennessee and flurries for a day & a half?

We also tested out The Game of Things. We found out that some of us are a little racist, and most of us were inappropriate, but it was fun.

note: the object of the game is to write outrageous things while deceiving others so they are unaware of which response was actually yours. so the racism was not genuine. just to set the record straight, here. can't have any rumors floating around in cyberspace...

I also learned that a tree that grows baby T-Rexes would be more frightening in real life than it sounds.

Being back in Nashville is nice. Not quite ready to start classes on Wednesday...blah. That means I have to get kicked to the curb in about 5 months, and I am not okay with that.

I mean, really, I don't want to stay in school any longer, but I don't want to get a job either. Can't I just sleep through the next couple years and then pick up where I left off?

This post is just a stream of consciousness, which is totally not in keeping with my "Three Things" trend...Sorry. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow and will be more interesting.

EDIT: It is currently 13 degrees with a wind chill (aka "feels like") of THREE DEGREES. really??
