well i’m already frustrated by the lack of themes on wordpress.com, but the rest of the features more than make up for it. i’ve thought about setting one of these for a long time but what good is a blog with no content? what’s that expression: “write what you know”? well, i don’t know anything (let’s get that out of the way) but maybe i can write about what i like, what inspires me, what depresses me, and what annoys the tar out of me.
i’ve been in love with music for as long as i can remember. and like any long term relationship you have peaks and valleys–periods of intense growth and discovery and times of just same-old-same-old. i think i’ve been in a peak lately and these tend to come around every couple of years or so (we’re still talking about music here…). the last few months i just want to listen, think and talk about music. i’ve been trying to decompose what i’m hearing and figure out what it is that i like. kind of silly? maybe, but you see i’m also a musician so i figure that’s part of the job description.
photography is another interest of mine. there’s so much technique and math involved in the creation of something so beautiful and organic. these digital cameras are the best thing since sliced bread, but the photo management afterwards keeps me up at night. not that i like most of what i shoot. for me there’s still sometimes this gap between ability and vision and it’s hard not to be deterred (watch this video by Ira Glass to see what i mean… he’s so right on the money).
so let’s see where this goes… i’ve got some ideas for content, it’s just a matter of execution…
