Let's see where this goes...

This is pretty much my first effort in this arena, and lately that constant voice in my head has been a little louder than I usual. See I have this constant voice in my head.

Not like a schizophrenic sort of voice, I mean, I don't have conversations with it, basically it's giving a narrative, or a drive, it's a motivator. It demands creativity, helps me figure things out, and even plays music for me. Most people would call it a conscience, but mine is more like a story teller. So I figured I would try and write it down and it might just get a little bit of whatever it is thats going to satisfy it's demand.

First off, I am not a writer. And for me to claim to be would not only be an insult to you and me, but anyone who has ever aspired to do so. And my grammar and punctuation aren't all that hot either so don't bother pointing that out.

This blog will be pretty much be covering three topics. The only three things I've ever claimed to have any expertise in or at least talk about without me feeling like I'm bullshitting you or myself;

1) Music - Music is single handedly the main focus of 99% of my brains activity at any given time. I Play music, I follow music, I record music, I watch musicians play their music, I work with music, I listen to music, and I cherish music. Any memories of people, places, and periods of my life have a soundtrack etched into them. From rants about how much I hate radio, to collecting records (which I'm kind of a junkie for), to the bands I now, or have ever played in. I spent  a lot of years playing in bands, the most popular of which was the Quincy Punx. So far anyway.

2) Being a drunk/loser/asshole - Not as pleasant as the first, but I've spent the better part of my life ("better" meaning "larger") perfecting failure. Which should make you all feel a little bit better about yourselves after reading.
And that kind of merges into..

3) Stories about my life. You know, in case I forget.
Really, why do i think you care? Well I don't. But I've had some really good shit happen to me, bad too. I'll cover both sides AND I'll even call myself out on my own shit just to be honest and fair to anyone who spends any time reading this. -M
