New Year, New Blog, New Ideas

That's right folks, Welcome to 2011! Big things happening this year.

First off, Its a new year so people are making all kinds of resolutions. Chances are, about 82% of those resolutions will be forgotten or left behind come mid February. Big surprise. What you can look forward to is a massive influx of random people you've never seen before at the Gym for the next few weeks. The good news? You won't have to worry about getting to know any of them until February 1st because by then, you'll know who's really sticking around.

Also, Right before the holiday break, I was invited to join a DJ crew (Exciting) and now I will be posting on their blog. Don't worry, I'll still be posting here, more of the free form fun I always do, but this new site will have a few of the other guys posting on it as well, so it gives a little bit of diversity to the mix. Check it out here at www.radioscreams.com

Also, I'm back to school, working on my MBA. I know, I'm insane. Full time job, this blog, the new blog, DJing, this DJ crew, my MBA, and trying to have a social life (have I mentioned that I gave up coffee for the new year?(See you in February)). I know that eventually something will have to give, and you know what? It's ok with me. Life is all about experences, and without trying new things from time to time, everything gets stale and your brain turns to mush and then zombies will start ruling the world....

Ok, so maybe not that much, but you get the picture. Life is about learning and growing as a person, so try something new this year. Hell, try a hundred new things this year! Who knows, you might actually find something you like

Music Is Life, Pt. 1

Music. We hear it everywhere we go. Sometimes we like it, and sometimes we don't, but the undeniable fact is that it's everywhere.

Everywhere.

To some, it's a drug of choice. New music, new sounds, new beats, classics that haven't been heard before or haven't been heard in a long time. Each one creates it's own high to the listener.

Music is one of those things that defines the human experience. We use it for everything. We use it to motivate ourselves. We use it to help lift us up when we are down. We use it to express ourselves when words just aren't enough. It's hard to think of life without music.

Not everyone will like the same kind of music either, and that's what makes it great. I looked at my music library this week, almost 19,000 songs! But the crazy part isn't that if i pushed play at the first song, I wouldn't hear the same track for almost 2 months, it's that I want more.

If you enjoy music, you know it's addictive. You hear a song, and you might not like the rest of the album, but then you might like it and go out and buy all the other records by the same group or artist. I know I've done it, and maybe it's just me.

All I really know is that when either I find new music or someone points out some new stuff to me, there's no greater feeling than just chillin' out and just listening to the music, alone or with friends. Doesn't Matter. In the end, it's all about the music.

Time to fly. More to come on this later...
