Classical Music to Match Your Mood -- Repost off Tumbler

I’ve seen a lot of curious people wanting to dive into classical music but don’t know where to start, so I have written out a list of pieces to listen to depending on mood. I’ve only put out a few, but please add more if you want to. hope this helps y’all out. :)
stereotypical delightful classical music:
if you need to chill:
if you need to sleep:
if you need to wake up:
if you are feeling very proud:
if you feel really excited:
if you are angry and you want to take a baseball bat and start hitting a bush:
if you want to cry for a really long time:
if you want to feel like you’re on an adventure:
if you want chills:
if you want to study:
if you really want to dance:
if you want to start bouncing in your chair:
if you’re about to pass out and you need energy:
if you want to hear suspense within music:
if you want a jazzy/classical feel:
if you want to feel emotional with no explanation:
if you want to sit back and have a nice cup of tea:
pieces that don’t really have a valid explanation:
pieces that just sound really cool:
if you feel like listening to concertos all day (I do not recommend doing that):
and if you really just hate classical music in general:
a lot of these pieces apply in multiple categories, but I sorted them by which I think they match the most. have fun exploring classical music!
also, thank you to viola-ology and iwillsavemyworld for adding on! if you would like to add on your own suggestions, please reblog and add on or message me so I can give you credit for the suggestion!

A real "dom" or a real man?

Not sure what I think of this particular style of dating, but these dom's really know their shit.  Just some golden natural training about dating and attraction on these blogs.

Capitalism and Socialism Go Hand in Hand

It's wrong to be against or for either one.

I've long looked at capitalism as not a political stance, but a pure characteristic of nature -- people will always trade.

And for some reason, I didn't see Socialism the same way.  It is a pure characteristic of nature -- people will always look out for eachother.

If you aren't selfish enough to take care of yourself, you won't be fit to care well for others.  Happiness leads to selflessness.

If you aren't selfless enough to take care of others, you won't be taken care of.  Selflessness leads to happiness.

These go together.

Drive profit.  Make a good deal.  Make people pay you well and they will value their money well spent and they will see that their investment goes to good use.

At the same time, don't let the profiteers destroy the planet.  Don't stand for a con.  Watch out for people and people will watch out for you.

They go hand in hand.

The confusion is where they conflict.  There's issues in the grey zone where lines need to be drawn and decisions made.  But it should never be one over the other.  A win win solution is always going to be the best one in the long term.

It's time to stop casting a blankets over this issue.  Let the bias go.  Explore each issue, be indifferent, and lay back until you understand the whole issue and all the sides.

Droppin' G's

I feel like I need to post a quick description how awesome things are right now in case I ever need to look back on these times.

My Wells totals for June and July thus far are:

Income $13,398.88
Expenses $9,765.22
Current Cash $11,999.82

Those expenses are pretty high.  Actually, they're WAY TOO HIGH.  I am blowing waay too much money droppin' G's...

Father's Day: We're taking you to the highest end resort in town.  1 night, a few bars, dinner, and brunch... even after help from Mom... over a G.

Steven's Wedding: flight + an extra 200 to extend it, staying an extra day for an extra 200, excursion wedding gift of 200... ended up around 2 G's.

Bryan wants me coming to Chicago for Riot fest.  Fine, I'll do it.  Dropped another G.

All those expenses are in the reports for only the LAST 6 WEEKS.

And yet, my bank account has still grown over 5 G's to become 5 figures again.  And I have documents in on over 15 G's in more deals expected to book in the next 6 weeks.

Just gotta stop droppin' those G's... it's time for ROARS to begin its return.  That's where the G's need to go.

Utah's Brian Head vs. California's resorts

http://www.edcutah.org/ut-ca_comparisons.php

http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/561-S-Vasels-Rd_Brian-Head_UT_84719_M27368-28473?row=60

Why bring it up?

Brian Head resort was purchased just 1 year ago and the new owner has already invested heavily into increasing the value (new high speed quad lift and night-skiing lighting), and the resort just had one of it's busiest seaons on record.

Fully booked Cedar Brooks and The Grand Lodge indicates that there is a significant demand for rentals during the ski season.

Year round resort & best ski resort local to southern Utah, Northern AZ, and Las Vegas.

Talking with several owners, they appear happy and say things are going well, value seems to be on the rise.

Healthy economy indicates more traffic and demand.

Ski Trip -- President's Day Weekend

Alright potential skier and snowboarder homies.  It’s midwinter madness time.

What: ’15 Ski Trip

Where: Near Salt Lake City, Utah!  You vote:
Brighton – best prices around $75 a ticket and 5’ snow. 66 runs on 1,750 vertical ft.
Snowbird – most runs and vertical terrain given the 5’ depth of snow.  89 runs on 3,240 vertical ft.
Park City – this is where they train for the Olympics.   Only 4’ snow, but 114 runs on 3,100 vertical ft.
They’re all close.  Maybe 1 per day?

When: 2/14 – 2/16 (President’s Day weekend… paid holiday at LEAF.)

Price:
Lift tickets about $200 (2 days), $300 if you want to ski on President’s Day as well.
Gas – only asking for $50 round trip, but it is optional (I’m going up either way, so I will pay for gas 100% if money is tight for you… because I’d rather have you there.)
Room – Lance apparently has friends up there, so possibly FREE here.  If not, probably going to be $100 per head.
Total: $300 – 400 (before food & alcohol)

Deets:
Friday we head up after lunch.  Drive is going to be around 10 hours including about 3 stops.
Check in Friday night.
Saturday and Sunday – hit the slopes.
Monday – optional hit the slopes some more before driving home.

Salespitch:
So were talking about world class resorts, some of the absolute best, most powdery snow in the world (and it’ll be snowing a fresh layer for us this week at all 3 resorts), on top of a 5’ base, and just about everything is open.

Even if you’re not a big skier, these are world class views up in the world famous Rockies… so it’s great place to bring your girl or friends and hang out.  There are few places better in the world to kick back and have a few.

Since So. Cal is having it’s 4th year in a row of terrible snow, this may be your only chance this season to get some real snow!


Anyone you want to invite is invited… please RSVP by Thursday if possible… better to reserve rooms a week in advance if we need to do that.
