one day i broke up with my girlfriend. three days later, we were back into it (snafu). this is the mix i made for her, trying to explain why i am the way i am, and why i do the things i do. i concede it's not technically a good mixtape...repeat artists, clumpiness, and so on. but as a part of the collective, i think it's only right that i put my real life mixes out there. stay tuned for a blisteringly cold iceheap of a mixtape, though. for serial.
