So it begins...

Cliché number one, the title. Cliché number two, what I'm about to write next.

If you've ever read a blog you know what people write as their first post.

It's either some kind of a vague: "Hi, here I am, Blogger is cool, I hope I'll be writing loads of stuff here" or "test" or... people telling how they haven't been able to keep a diary in the past but now want to start again.

And that's exactly how I'm going to start.

So, I've never kept a diary. Sure, I tried a few times in my childhood but didn't see the point in it eventually. A few years ago I managed to keep a Livejournal, it was like most Livejournals: angsty wailing. But unlike many it was entertaining and I liked writing it, and it was scary to notice how easily I could come up with stuff for it. True, back then I had no life - no, I can't betray my geek buddies and say something like that. I just had no real-life friends and I was going through a major upheaval in my life anyway, living on my own, that is.

But I thought it' be fun to chronicle the events of my life, but perhaps not everything, perhaps just some... interesting things.

Last night I had the urge to become a musician. Again. I've been studying technology for the past three years but it hasn't been very motivating and I've been taking piano lessons on the side as well. I just feel like I want to try to get into a conservatory, if I don't get there, too bad (I'll probably just try again) and if I do, good for me. Because I feel like I will waste my life if I can't, at least on some extent, focus at least somewhat seriously on music.

So this blog will be for myself, as a reference, to help me think about music and where I want to go with it (or to put it romantically, where I want music to take me!), and perhaps occasionally post some sound/video samples for the sake of posterity and later evaluation.

For you, the reader, I hope the experience will be interesting as well. Comments are enabled!
