Events on October 11th- Gloria Pulley

(Sooooo fun event that happened on October 11th, 2015, I ran a half marathon, and I’m tired so I apologize if this blog post is kinda eh because I am very out of it.)
#throwbacksunday to September 26th, 2006 to an event with little historical importance in the grand scheme of things.  On this day, the band Mutemath released their first album, Mutemath (I know what a creative name for an album).  Is this event a pivotal point in the nation’s history? The world’s history?  Nope.
But this event is not entirely one to be ignored, at least for me anyway.  Being one of those people that don’t particularly enjoy silence, music helps me.  While having some previous knowledge of them, winter of freshman year I decided to sit down and listen to all the Mutemath albums until I knew them backwards and forwards.  This one happened to be my favorite of their three albums. Maybe it was the soothing drone of instrumentals, or the flawless transitions, or the lyrics that seemed to speak to me.  Whatever it was, it was perfect. 

This is my go to album when I’m running and need inspiration from “Typical” or some hardcore motivation from “Break the Same.” “Chaos” when the world seems to be piling it on.  “You are Mine” when I’m lying in bed and need something to lull me to sleep.  At the end of it all, I can just “Reset,”  with a feeling of empowerment, tranquility, or reassurance in something so familiar that it could be a best friend.
