That's the 'What the Heck Did I Just Listen To?' Mix.
I left out one song on purpose. Read the description on track five for an explanation. Damn the man.
This mix was so much harder than I expected. That stupid Doggy Style track and my high school track kept me busy forever! And it's probably submitted to late to rank well! Curses...
Alas. I hope someone can find some enjoyment from my eclectic tastes and opinionated descriptions.

This mix was made with one thing in mind: the song had to relate to shirts. The style, quality, flow, or relevance of the song has not been taken into account in anyway.
Corey...Eric...I want MTC shirts.
*Okay, so I just made the mix and nullified the above statement. After I started I realized two things: (1) The title of the song might matter, and using titles I can work with makes the mix better, and (2) there are actually some pretty sweet artists (I screened some of the unknown artists) who have written songs about shirts.
The mix may not flow well, and it may be random, but I think that its display of commitment to a cause, inventiveness, and the amount of work it took to find all the songs and then add all of the tracks, and most of the artists and albums, makes this mix deserve a few points...

So, that stands for "The Def Jeff and Open Mic Mike (and Occasionally Overly Caucasian) Cruisin' at Three in the Mornin' Mix"
Basically, one summer my friend and I were always out until four or five in the morning driving around, taking pictures and climbing things, so we needed a good mix of songs we liked to listen to. It's basically a little sarcastic-ironic-bitter-fun-weird...oh yeah, and there are several songs about our female situation at the time.

The Badge of Mystery
My dad has orchards out here. After college I moved back for a job in Hood River, and within a few months had a house of my own in town. I have a different job but still work in Hood River. Everything about living here is pretty ideal, except for the smoky bars and tepid social environment. But yes, from my understanding, fairly comparable to KFalls.

Ha, if you look carefully, it says The Dalles. Which, while not THAT much better, I'm particular to distinguish. It's all about the Columbia River Gorge, man. But I've been here on my own for almost 3 years now. :)

Mixtape Potpourri II: Third Place
that's exactly what you should do. you'll have the time of your life. takes a bit of money tho if you want to do it properly.
if you want my advice...take a credit card and max the bitch out. who cares how much debt you come back with? if you're only going to do one trip you better make it worth while.

Nah i travelled for ages after i finished highschool. I lived in Switzerland for a year, came back for a year and worked to save money so i could go back, and then i travelled around Europe for 3 and a half months. I've done my fair share of travelling.
I decided when i got back that i should probably do something productive and maybe go to uni like everyone else. now i'm just counting down the years til i can travel again.
and what do you think god will have in mind for you?

Yeah that's not 100% accurate. I live an hour out of Sydney.
It takes about 2 hours to get to the beach. I might do it if i were a real beach person but i have an irrational fear of sharks and i don't go in the ocean.
I did actually go in once when i was on holidays last week though. But that was only because i was with 6 people i trusted and helicopters were patrolling the area

they made a statue of the kissing couple a while back and on the news they followed up the story behind it.
they talked to the nurse but nobody knows who the sailor is.
i love the old lady in the background

The Yay! Badge VIII
Fibonacci was a mathmatician. The Fibonacci sequence is a particularly interesting sequence derived from a simple formula. Starting with a list of 1, 1, the next number can be generated by adding the previous two together.
ie: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,etc
It's a big thing in computer science. Kind of an inside joke for big CS / math nerds.
