Fudge! Fudge! Fudge! Music Saved Me (Non-Gaming Related)
As stated in the title, this is a non-gaming related post, so I don’t know if anyone is going to be interested, but oh well, I’ll give it a shot.
This week has been awful for me. Here are some of the things that have gone wrong: I failed my French midterm, my adviser was a bitch to me, the weather is horrible here in New York, I’ve been sick for the past two weeks, and I’m broke. Today wasn’t any different. I had to go to the registrar office only to be told some disappointing news, not only that, but my metro card ran out. I’m so confused about everything – what am I going to do with my life, how the hell am I going to make a living. Anyway, I decided to skip my lecture class today and go home.
As I was making my way down the subway, I realized I left my iPod home. Music is the only thing that can calm me down, and I left my comfort device at home, darn the luck! Anyway, as I was walking towards the middle of the platform I heard a Violin being played. I saw a blonde hair women and a dark hair man playing the guitar. I stood there listing to them for a good ten minutes before I whipped my camera out.
Like I said, this day, or should I say semester, has been horrible; filled with disappointments, but the moment I saw these performers I forgot about my problems and calmed down. I’m still worried about everything, but I have a bit more of an optimistic outlook on it. I’ve decided to share these performers with Dtoid, but I don’t know if you guys are interested in anything non-gaming related, so let me know in the comments, or I’ll wait to see if this is a failtoid in the recaps.

I started a blog at this very site to let some of my feelings out. In some way Destructoid was therapy for me. I write about everything from my mother, past relationships, financial situations, friends, hipsters, school, etc. This is done not for sympathy, but as a way to expresses myself. My financial situation is a mess and I have no idea how I’m going to make a living, but writing and reading some of the response from great users have bought a wealth of positiveness to my life; It really doesn’t have to be anything big, but a simple comment of appreciation is enough to fill my heart with joy. It’s strange writing this, but joining this community has been the best thing I've ever done, well, second best thing; getting laid is pretty cool. What I’m trying to say here is thank you. Thank you for this awesome community. Thank you for reading. Thank you for commenting. Thank you for being awesome.
A big thanks goes to falsenipple for the header!
