So, I've been on this site for just about 7 years now (on and off) and I've never written any blog entries. I figure it's about time I take a few minutes to do so. I don't know I anyone is actually gonna read it, I don't know if anyone cares enough to, but I might as well, if for no better reason than simply lack of better things to do.
Well, maybe I do have better things to do, I am at work, but it's slow and I don't particularly like my job, but then again, who does? It's just a means to an end. I work a shitty job, because its what I can get in this job market with my skills, or lack there of, and at the end of the day it keeps a room over my head, keeps me fed, and gives just that little bit extra to do or acquire things to make me "happy" or "content."
I'm simple though, I don't desire lavish things, certain things would nice, but are unnecissary. I just want to be able to keep playing music, and keep going to shows. Music truly drives me each and everyday. I'm constantly thinking about what I want to do next musically, looking for new inspiration. That's always the ends I'm looking to meet. And if spending 8+ hours a day at a shitty job where I'm under paid and under appreciated is the means to that end, then that's what I'll do. I'll find comfort and solace on the walk/bus ride with my head phones in, listening the anthems that spur me on day to day.
I hope and strive to one day find a job, or dare I hope for a career, that I will enjoy and that will be a better means to the same ends. Or maybe even the means and end being one in the same? Even if only for a short while...
This is my life:
~pardon any spelling errors or poor grammar, I try to be thorough and well 'spoken' but I typed this on my phone, so there may have been a bit I missed/over looked

I love the pics of you doing your music! I think we all do what we have to do, especially when it comes to creating and being driven to do something creative.
