though i write them by the light of day, please read them by the light of the moon
I have been struggling with this "blogging" concept for a long time. I have always been one to write down everything and make lists in an effort to structure my wants, likes and dislikes, and to-do items, but the idea of sharing that with anyone seemed far too vain. What I've learned as my "readership" has moved beyond my few staple music blogs is that I find solace in a lot of other people's thoughts and opinions. I am comforted when I see someone who shares my thoughts, feelings, or ideas.
I am not sure if my words will resonate with anyone, and even if they do, perhaps writing and reading blogs are both egotistical acts - i want to know that other people are like me and I want other people to see how they are like me. Regardless, I am going to try.
We'll see if this venture moves beyond a few posts, but my three favorite music blogs -- I guess i'm floating, fuel/friends, and everybody cares everybody understands -- have made a big difference in this decision, and in turn, a lot of what I write will center around music. For the time being, this is not a traditional music blog, I will not be offering mp3s for download, but I definitely will be posting songs, links to other blogs, concert videos, and album reviews. Amongst this music, I hope to share a profound thought or two, some mood-lifting videos, quotes, and some film review.
Hope someone sees this and starts reading. I'll love you for it .
