On with the show!

I'm taking a new approach to this blog and seeing where it takes me. Previously, I've mostly written essays and the like about topics you probably don't give a shit about.

No more of that.

For this next series of posts, I'm just going to muse about my day and what I'm thinking about. I will also strive to deliver more visuals with my writing. What good are words without descriptions?

In a semester or two, I want to be able to reflect on my growth as a human being. I can't really think of a better way to do so, since I pretty much only express myself through music and writing.

So, on with the show. Today isn't over yet, so I feel like writing about yesterday.

Yesterday was a pretty big test of character for me personally. No one wants to read about my shitty sob story, so I'll spare you the details.

I was proud of the way I handled myself. No ridiculous, overly emotional bullshit that jeopardizes my ability to think rationally. Sure, it still felt shitty, but whatever. Fuck it. On with the show.

Man, I really like that saying. Thanks, TLA. I have no idea where I would be without Brendan and Chris's lyrics. What stories they tell. Such raw, unpolished stories that can move you to tears.

So anyways, just because I handled myself like a real adult doesn't mean it still didn't suck. But here's where I set myself apart from who I used to be.

I took that negative energy and I wrote a sick riff with it at practice. Damn, it was so cool seeing it come together. Do you know what feels like? To create?

It's the best feeling ever.
