Goodbye

Three years ago to the day I started this blog after finishing my freshman year of high school. Yesterday I graduated, and will be travelling across the country to attend college in the Fall. It goes without being said, but I have changed drastically both as a musician and a person since I created this blog. While travelling down the archives of this blog is a trip of nostalgia for me, it’s also a tad embarrassing to see how the trivial problems of my high school personal life bled into a lot of the posts. There’s a lot of great commentary on music contained within some of the posts, but as a whole it’s time for me to move on from this blog.

Music is just as important to me today as it was when I started blogging, if not more so. Whether it be jamming for hours on end with my friends, traveling the country to catch as many Phish shows as possible, listening to as much newly released black metal as I can, or writing and recording original compositions, music is the glue that holds together my existence. I hope that in the 267 blog posts I have posted I have managed to convey this passion and share my joy for the musical arts with others.

I’m eagerly looking forward to the rest of the summer, as I plan road trips with friends, travel to music festivals, and spend as much time as possible with the people who have made the last four years of my life as amazing as they were. However it will also be a bit of a lull for me musically, since any musical project I started now would be forced to end before leaving for college, therefore making the whole process futile. However, once I have relocated to Portland, Oregon I plan to make musical connections as quickly as possible and hopefully start some new projects. When this happens I plan to start a new blog that will document the next step of my life.

I would sincerely like to thank anyone that has ever visited this blog. Seeing as how I originally created this merely as an outlet for myself, the fact that it has reached just shy of 19,000 hits is almost unbelievable to me. Just as I’m closing a chapter of my life, I am now closing the blog that was intertwined with it.

So goodbye…for now!
