We have to let go of the mentality that we can get better in huge chunks. When we think like that we often end up frustrating ourselves because we attempt to cram everything into one shot. Although it can be frustrating trying to improve in little chunks the results will show over time.

Now that my daily commute is a bit longer (ranging from 35min. - 1hr), I think of very random things. This video is the result of a random idea I had when this song (Jamiroquai’s Dynamite) came on, so I started recording random video on my drive home.

I know we’re hot off the heals of a Chill Mode Mix already, but I feel this needs to be posted. I’ve listened to it a bunch over the past few days, and no longer want to keep it to…
