the blog is back. I was talking with a friend a bit ago about things to do through my unemployed era and they suggested journaling. it’s always been something I felt like I could do, and I’ve tried to do this many times in the past. I always end up dropping it before the month is even out in favor of some other creative facet. this time, I think things are different, I want to do this more than just creatively. I want to use this blog for everything: general musings, musical endeavors, recapping important live moments, vanity posting, etc. having it on my own website vs. tumblr or medium is also kind of important; I have so many different social media accounts at this point, for myself and for the band. this place is for me and is about me. no other influences, nothing else is attached to it. you, the reader (if not me revisiting my own words), are here because you’re interested in what I’m saying, not strictly because you tag searched or were algorithmically pushed here. I miss single serving websites sometimes. places you visit for a daily update for a time but not a doomscroll. I want this to be that, but in my own way, in my own context. I wanted to say, “I hope I’ll be able to keep this going for a month this time” but I don’t want to act less than certain anymore. see you when I see you.
