I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while. Yet, i've been plagued by a few questions.
First, what's the point? I have enough to worry about as it is, and I don't need one more thing to keep track of.
Second, there are plenty of blogs on the internet about people just like me. How will one more blog about a struggling musician in New York City be different? Will I merely add to the rapidly expanding chaos of worthless information in the great landfill in the sky, or will I come up with something profound and meaningful to share with the world?
Lastly, i've always viewed the internet, blogs, gratuitous sharing of information, etc., with a certain air of skepticism; at a distinguished 24, I skipped the information age entirely and started from a perspective more in line with that of my grandparents.
I would imagine this blog as whittling onto a tree, my tree, in a dark, cold, endless gray forest. The dawn of this blog is a personal challenge to organize my thoughts, of which there are many, on many subjects, and to exit my comfort zone a bit. Who knows who i'll meet, who will listen, and what this will all turn into.

So, why have I started a blog, then?
I'm still not entirely sure. Deep down I think that my opinions and thoughts are valid and interesting (like everyone else on the internet), and I have a latent desire to be a critic (like every other musician). Once I reserved this URL, there was something satisfying knowing that I have a little corner of the internet all my own.

And without a sound, a little tree grows in the woods....
