update 23/2/2012: best moment of my life :D
breaking instagram virginity with this amazing revision shot (Taken with instagram)

Randomly had several conversations with various people over this past week at school about various deep profound topics such as the future, life, death (oh god this already sounds so depressing), but two conversations today, one with C and then one with W, really struck me. Time’s gone so quickly these past 6 years, but when we look back do we really feel that we have achieved the best we could? In 10-20-30 years time, we should hope that we are at least satisfied with our lives, but how close to reality will that actually be? Personally I find the concept of ‘fate’/’providence’/’destiny’ hard to get to grips with; I want to be in charge of my own future and I just don’t like the idea that it’s not completely in my hands.
In the end we just decided that when we’re on our deathbeds we want to look back on our lives and be happy with what we’ve achieved. I suppose it was the fact that we’ll soon be ending a routine we’ve been used to for so long that was finally dawning on us.
(sorry about another random emotional post haha)

I was thinking today how I’m so used to seeing the same faces pretty much every single day, for the past 6 and a half years. It’s going to be incredibly weird not having this anymore next year, or ever really.
As much as I cannot wait to leave, I really will miss quite a few people. Guess it’s finally dawning on me that I’m so close to finishing.
major love for john mayer at the moment.
major love for acoustic music in general.
Well, that’s a wrap on release week promotion for Born and Raised. It’s so phenomenally weird to wake up this morning at home and not in the back of a bus somewhere. On the bright side, releasing this album and getting back in touch with my fans has been something I’ve been waiting to experience for a long time now. I’m finally at a place in my life where I can truly appreciate the kindness and support, and you have shown me lots of it. Thank you for that.
As I understand it, the album is set to enter the charts at number one, which is just incredible on all your parts because there has been very little I’ve been able to do to promote it. In a world of schemes and strategies when it comes to selling something, you guys just bought music you trusted you’d like. You picked it up in the same way I made it… from the heart, no trickery. That is so cool and rare and all the marketeers in the world together can’t manufacture that. I am very grateful to you.
The making of this record was purposely undocumented, but there are a few iPhone videos and some photos to share. I figure I’ll do that here, and more often than I usually have in the past. Even if this album slides off the charts in a month, it doesn’t make it any less special to me, and we should all be digging this music together, like we would have (and will again) on stage.
Stay tuned…
with thanks and love
John
He truly is amazing.

Totally man-crushing on John Mayer. I want his voice and his guitar skills.
Really need to see him live.
