Joshua Jacobs has two passions: music and helping others. His love of music started back in elementary school when he started playing trumpet. It didn’t take long for Josh to purchase a Walkman and listen to his two favorite artists, The Killers and Fat Boy Slim, on repeat for hours on end. Still, Josh wasn’t what you would call a true music ‘enthusiast’ until the year 2008, when he attended Monster Massive in Los Angeles, and had his mind completely blown by the EDM scene. The rest, as they say, is history. Ever since, Josh has immersed himself in the musical world. Now an avid music blogger and attendee to every major music show he can afford to see, Josh hopes to spread his love of music and his voice to the rest of the world.

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” -Albert Einstein Curiosity may have killed the cat, but the cat has 9 lives.

The Four Referability Habits

Note: I want to apologize for my tardiness with this post (which is ironic, since the topic is referability).

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” -Albert Einstein Repressed. If you’ve ever been called it, you know it means sheltered.

Quote of the Week: 9/12/11

“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “ […]Read Post ›
