While listening to some iTunes on my lappy, I came to a realization that my 60gb+ of various genres became dull and standard. yeah, there are the favorites which I normally just put in my playlist according to my likings. Tupac and Messy Marv rounds out my gangsta rap music, Coldplay and U2 soothes my jams, and if I really wanna rock, theres always Michael Jackson. Yes, MJ.
But it was difficult trying to find a new tone which would fit my lax attitude. I tried digging around myspace for some new bands, but no avail. Then I discovered something that was in front of me all this time, but I hadn't looked into. iTunes carries live radio streams via the net. So I dug, and found some realllllyyy awesome music.
I am a big fan of electronic music; PVD, Tiesto, Donald Glaude and all. But this time I distinctively sought to find a new tone within the electronica genre, and this time, I found it. It is call SomaFM. They got a website, www.somafm.com and is located in the hometown of San Francisco.
SomaFM has multiple channels of different styles. I recommend you guys check it out, my favorites are "Secret Agent" and "Groove Salad." Each with their distinct flavor.
if you love the downtempo, chill out beats but still jam-able, check out the Groove Salad. But if your into literally "Mission Impossible" like beats with the trumpets and up-swing attitude, then Secret Agent is your friend.
Check it Out!

Late late posting
I apologize to all three readers of my blog, I hate wasting your time checking this page for updates. But life has been ridiculously crazy and my laziness does not help.
As school is my priority, I shall give a brief update on my classes.
1. PPA 670 is killin me. The ultimate project is always hounding me.
2. PPA 515 is great, Jeff is the most awesome teacher that ive had.
3. PPA 517 is alright, the HW assisgnments and project are annoying.
4. PPA 577 is cool but the Project is also hounding me.
overall, the plethora of HW assignments and incoming projects/presentations
is taking its toll on me. hopefully ill put these classes out with an A.
Summer is comming up, I dont know if I want to work or just goto school...

A new love...
I have a confession. I recently have fallen in love again, with the new person on the block. I didn't want to but, man was she asking me to give her a try. I mean, no one has even tried to top what she has, and she consistently dangles the goodies from afar, seducing me further as time goes on. I had to wait for the perfect opportunity, and when it did, I approached. after our first experience, I came to a sprung conclusion that it is better than anything else I've had in my life.
So who is this mystery new person on the block? actually it is the new airline that I recently flew, Virgin America (VA). Yes I said it, I have fallen in love with this airline. It is in my opinion, the best and innovative airline out there to this date.
What makes VA such a great airline is through the overall refinement of the flying experience. VA effortlessly combines new technology to comfort the ever changing needs of constant fliers. I could easily link readers to the VA website for the complete list of perks VA offers, but that wouldn't justify it. A personal statement would be better.
Lets begin with the disco ball...yeah, the walkway before entering the plane has a damn disco ball hanging. What airline would want a disco ball on the ramp? VA does, and its a statement showing their the new party crew to hang out with. To accompany the disco ball, one step in I was engulfed with the "mood lighting" and subtle electronic beats flowing in the air. Boy was I ready to party!
Once situated in my seat, I didn't have to introduce myself to the screen in front of me. The red screen beckoned me to explore, and so I did. After a few quick taps, ESPN was feeding me GIANTS highlights (they lost =/ btw). A few more taps, I was listening to Jazz on their streaming radio stations. More cool points goes to the multi use controller. The front side is your standard controller to flip channels and radio stations, on the other side its your QWERTY keyboard to chat. yeah thats right, instant message a passenger on the plane. Spitting game on a airplane has gone 2.0, and it is far easier than ever before...
Cool Points for the average person:
1. Easy to use interface touch screen TV with Satellite.
2. Streaming music of all genres (e.g. Chinese/Japanese/Korean pop, Salsa)
3. Videogames! blasting mofos on oldschool DOOM is great
4. Outlet plugs - they got power and USB outlets
The best part about VA, flying as low as 40 bucks from LAX to SFO! I couldn't believe it, high perks at a low cost? My new airline. VA has set the flying standard REALLY high. I just cannot imagine what other companies are doing right now to retain its existing fan base. They better come up with something quick. My suggestion: Open bar for a set fee, health conscious food and hot flight attendants (no more old cougars!).
I might have left out some stuff, but future experiences will bring more to light. This mini review is long overdue, but I highly recommend VA to anyone who has not yet tried them out.
