As I sit here writing this, I realize that it has been about 3 years since my last post. What started out as a way to share my thoughts on music because a chore. Really? As much as I love music, this became a chore. It wasn't a chore, I got lazy. I'm going to try to post more often because sometimes in the busyness of life we need something to talk about that isn't well, the busyness of life. Music is cathartic for me. Some people find their imagination tested and expanded by reading a book, others watching a movie but for me, it has always been music.
So, I am going to endeavor to write more and slack less. You can read my blog or not, your call. I'm going to update it for my sanity not yours. In fact, my sanity may reduce yours! You may read something and it drives you crazy. Well, sorry. Well, no I'm not. Write your own blog and express yourself. I'll try to not be mean spirited but I'll admit that some bands and artists bring the worst out in me (insert Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj here) and pop culture "stars" like anyone named Kardashian or Hilton.
So stay tuned for more frequent updates. I promise you will be either informed, annoyed, enlightened, cheered up or saddened. I may touch on an emotion or I may touch on a nerve. I hope that you enjoy some of what I write.
I like to leave people with a playlist at the end of a post so take a listen to these songs. No particular tie into this post other than it is what I am listening to as I write this.
