Bring On the New Year

Well, here it is. My first blog entry of 2008 and probably the only entry of 2008. These internet things are wonderful wastes of time, but can keep me occupied from the stressful activities of day to day life. Welcome, friend!

I suppose the purpose of this blogspot is to keep my friends and family updated with all the crazy shananagans that I find myself in. Mostly, it will probably be about my music adventures as I attempt to actually finish school, play gigs, and travel as much as humanly possible, making some duckets in between. I find that in this industry, one meets a multitude of interesting people which would make interesting stories to tell here.

Also...

Once I figure out how to use a digital camera and dispose of my disposable ones, I will put up some pictures to make things easier and more entertaining for you, dear reader. So, here we are in '08 and, after a difficult end to 2007, I am looking forward to new opportunities and making every interaction a meaningful one, whether it be in cyberspace or in...whatever the opposite of cyberspace is, meatspace.

I still don't own an ipod. Anyone have an old one they can give me?

Cheers everyone!
