The one month countdown + 'The Last Winter' playlist 2012

What does your travel wardrobe say about you?

I think mine says, "I party."

I want to say thank you to all the people who've welcomed me in their towns, bought me a drink, and showed me a good time.  Someday I'll really be able to thank them by doing the exact same thing for them. 

30 days from now, I wake up after not sleeping in anxiety and anticipation, fear and at long last relief.
A whole slew of preparation, and sacrifice is traded for another slew of action and introductions.
In one day I will have traded one language for another, the life I've known for the life I've chosen abroad.  In one month I am moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina

The worst thing about living in a place that doesn't reach above freezing, is that it really limits your "naked time" due to climate, and your nipples are a constant reminder of how uncomfortably cold this world can get.  But that's it, really

Disclaimer: Please don't just screen through this list of songs and dismiss them.  I realize you're probably a music snob, just like me, but seriously, take a minute out of your really fucking important day to listen to complex, lasting, satisfying music.  I would prefer to give you the hard copy of this, so that you wont do the latter and dismiss my playlist without taking a drive to it, or lighting some candles to quiet your mind for two minutes, but in today's world it's somewhat impossible.  I hope you read, I hope you write, I hope you listen up.  It's good for your bones and soul.  That being said, I give you "The Last Winter" Playlist 2012.
