Hey guys, it’s time for this week’s Deja Vuesday!!
Just like last week’s Deja Vuesday, I thought that I’d make this one double-sized too.
Let’s start off with a post I did three years ago when I was on Christmas Break from UU:
What a MindRide…
…Yo it be the Andy-San here at home again.
It seems that I’m updating more than I thought I would be. Anyway, I just got done watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and I gotta say it’s quite the mindride. I still have to see the movies though.
Lately, I’ve been watching several anime series like Sora no Otoshimono (aka the flying panties anime) and Ichigo Mashimaro. They’re pretty good, but I’m still holding out for the next big series.
Now that I’m done watching Eva for the time being, I can focus on completing the DoD project. I’m not sure if I should record it at E’s or here on Jon’s computer.
Ahh, the DoD project! It was a good idea, but I was so unskilled on guitar at that time, not to mention trying to schedule recording during Christmastime, that it didn’t happen. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll enter. One day…
For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, DoD stands for Dwelling of Duels and it’s a monthly contest where you submit a cover of a video game song.
I’ve also made it my goal to lose weight as soon as I come back to UU. I’ll walk, eat right, and do what it takes to get down to my goal of 170 lbs (I’m at 220 lbs).
Well I’m off for a walk. Laterz!

I’ve been working out for the past week to lose some weight (at least 2 inches from my waist). I’m doing this so that I can get into the Navy Reserve. I’ll cover why I decided to join in an upcoming vlog as there’s too much to discuss in this post.
Okay then, let’s go over a post I wrote one year ago when I was discussing what music I listen to when I write:
Who Do You Listen To When You Blog?
Currently Listening To:
Al Di Meola – Elegant Gypsy Suite
03 – Mediterranean Sundance
Music is an important, although overlooked, aspect of writing.
When I wrote back in college, I listened to a lot of heavy metal. I noticed that my overall tone was of anger and immediacy. Of course other circumstances contributed to my tone (financial problems, depression, etc.), but music certainly had a helping hand.
Nowadays when I write, I usually listen to guys like Al Di Meola and Owl City. They’re super-mellow and allow me to think clearly when I write.
What do you guys listen to while you’re writing? Do you have any music on or do you think that silence is golden? Do you prefer ambient background noise to music? I’d like to hear what you have to say in the comments below!!

Not much has changed since I wrote this as I still listen to mellow music when I write. In fact, I’m listening to Owl City right now as I’m writing this!
Don’t get me wrong, I sometimes listen to heavier and faster music when I write; but for the most part, I stick with Owl City and Al Di Meola.
Well, this has been a fun romp through some of my back catalog, but I’m going out to eat so I’ll see you guys later!

P.S: Sorry this post came out later than normal, but I had some stuff to take care of this afternoon. It’s been hard trying to keep to my posting schedule with my stepdad coming home at unpredictable times.
