Introduction

So here I am, writing my first entry on my very own blog. It feels a little weird, having this website full of my thoughts written by me that can be read by anybody, anywhere. I'm not starting this so other people can read it. Rather, I'm doing it for myself. I have a lot of opinions on things, but never feel I should express them for fear of my views being challenged by another. Hopefully, this blog will be my opportunity to overcome that fear.


Even as I'm writing this, I feel somewhat stupid for starting a blog. I mean, what are you really supposed to write in these things? I guess I could start off with a topic I never grow tired of: music. Music has been my passion since before I can remember. I enjoy listening and observing other musicians, and occasionally performing myself. I'm not sure what it is about music that interests me so much, but I know it's not something I would be able to live without. And how simple is music, really? It could be just one voice; completely a capella. Or it could be a choir and full orchestra combined. What is it about music that brings out the emotion in people? Quite often I find myself listening an instrumental piece and wanting to cry, for the pure beauty of sound that is being created. If I could but bask in the glory of music for hours upon end, I don't think I would ever tire of it. I'm sure I'm not the only one in the world who sees music like I do, but I haven't come across very many. It saddens me to think that other people don't hear music like I do, that they just go through life not even knowing what they're missing.


I'll continue this later, when I am much more awake and ready to explain myself more clearly.
Hope you enjoyed my nonsense, if you were bored enough to read this.
