Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I’ve proooobably never been this excited for a two day period in my entire life.
Let me begin with Beyonce (who I’m seeing TWICE this summer, praise Beysus), Nine Inch Nails (legacy act, feeling it), PHOENIX! (missed those Frenchies on their last tour), Empire of the Sun (Aussie-electro, yes please).
Then there’s my rappers: 2 Chainz (my idol), Kendrick (making the festival circuit, worth every penny), Schoolboy Q, Macklemore (playing my Spring Concert this Thursday!), and A$AP Rocky (idol #2).
R&B represents with Emeli Sande (a goddess among singers, the Adele of the R&B world, perfect in every way), Miguel (don’t even get me started, I stan so hard), and Solange (not just Bey’s sister, folks).
Finally, FINALLY, Calvin Harris. Calvin Harris is a god who walks among men, flicks his wand at a song and makes it impossible to forget and impossible not to dance to at every party, ever. I have never been so excited to see someone turn knobs and flip switches in my entire life. This will be a crowning moment in my life.
WHY CAN’T IT BE AUGUST 31 ALREADY?

You’re not trying to be perfect / nobody’s perfect / but you are / to me
My friends are the reason that this has been the best summer of my life. I owe you everything, guys.
Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are.
John Green (via saddest-summer)
Sad, but very, very true.
Before Thursday…
I was working out just to get in shape.
Now? After Thursday?
I’m training.
LCD Soundsystem Doc to Hit Theaters for One Night Only
I got my first article published byBillboard Magazinethis afternoon.
I’m not even going to get mad anymore; I’m just going to expect the lowest from the people I thought the highest of.
