It took sooooo long to finally get my package. Turns out, my profile had my old address on there and I didn't update it before my gifter looked at it. Which, by the way, means they were quite on the ball because the update was made not too long after the matches were sent out.

So my sender did a little vetting and saw that I'm in search of some Marvel bobble-heads. Specifically Marvel bobble-heads, at that. I've recently started collecting them and setting them up around my desk at work. At first they were for decoration, but then one day I realized that I play with them more than I thought and started "blogging" their day-to-day on Instagram. Needless to say, I was geeked to add Nick Fury to my Office-Escape Squad (...I'm still working on the title).

But then....There was something else in the package! I've been wanting a hardcopy of The Roots' "Things Fall Apart" album and never got around to actually getting one and have been settling for the mp3's. This is one of my favorite albums ever and definitely in my Top 5. I can't describe the feeling this album gives me. The first time I heard it was during a very transitional time in my life. I was a freshman in high school and started coming into my own as far as musical tastes were concerned, specifically Conscious Hip-Hop and New-Soul. This album was/is my mental go-to. When I need to feel centered and need to reeeallly get a nostalgic taste of that burning "naive" inner-fire that we take for granted over time, I go to this album. It rejuvenates me...and I'm rambling...

Thank you, my gifter! I hope your Arbitrary Day was fruitful, and may your upvotes be plenty!!
