Blogging (pt.1)

OK so, it's been a while since the last post. I know, I know, I need to put more up more often. Well, I'm here to tell you today that that is soon going to happen. I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past few weeks, and over this past weekend it started to hit me: I have no 'Effin' clue what I'm doing! So I got down to it, and I've started thinking about ways to overhaul the WGL blog. I know, there isn't much here, but I've been browsing the web (like everyone else) and been thinking about other blogs and content that I'm interested in and maybe you are too? So I've thought about this: Why not ask you guys and girls? So here it is: What do you guys like to look at on the net? I'm open to all ideas because I want you to be able to connect to the site and see information on what you want to see! Idea's I've had so far:

Music - New Tracks/artists/bands/etc., Played out tracks, up and coming artists/tracks

Media - TV, Video Games, Websites, News, Gossip, Sports

Social - Who's out and about? Who's rocking the latest gear and what is it? What are you getting into? What's your favorite spot (Bar, Club, Gym, Park, Building, Coffee Shop)?

I'm a Pittsburgh guy through and through, so I'm sure that the beginnings of these sections/ideas will revolve around the city, but truth be told, this Blog was created with the intent to expand my horizons as well as provide entertainment for you all. Now I know the chances that someone outside of Pittsburgh is reading this, but if you are, First let me say Thank You, and second, Let your voice be heard!!!

Let me know what you guys think!!!!

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...

In the Beginning..

Well, Here it is. My Blog. Dear God, what am I thinking? Wait, that's most likely, what you're thinking. Or maybe you're thinking, 'Who Is this guy?' How Rude of me...Pause. rewind. Go.

My name is Mike Ley (yes, it's pronounced like the potato chips and no, it's not fake). I am a DJ/college grad working in the real world. I live a double life, but not like secret agent double life ( that would be friggin' Bad Ass tho). I work a 9-5 like most (and I use this term as lightly as possible) "adults", all week long doing computery stuff, go out with friends and other DJ's during the week, and on the weekends, I DJ at a club in Pittsburgh, and party with my buds.

So why did I start this Blog? Great question. Still working on the answer. No, seriously, I started this blog because I have some out there ideas and some wild times in Pittsburgh, and other places I travel to for fun and for work.

Oh yeah, there will be big posts on those travels, that I can assure you.

What do I want to get out of this? Nothing, except for getting my thoughts out there and making some new connections (and maybe a little self promotion from time to time). I'm looking forward to responses, ideas, commentary, and shared experiences. Let's just call this whole thing one massive "social experiment within the human experience."

Get it? Got it? Good. Now, I have one last question...

Wanna get Leyed?
