"You're a historian. Tell me if there are any bath-tubs in history. I think they've been frightfully neglected. "

"[Writing songs] is no different than explaining to somebody what you dreamed last night: No one ever gives you crap for what you dreamed last night. "I was laying in my bed, and all of a sudden a stallion jumped on my bed and the next thing I know I was in Mars but it looked like my kitchen" . . . That's kind of what I do with my songs, write them in a dream-like manner. It's up to people to swallow it however they want. "

The First

Well this is exciting,
I've decided to blog
For various reasons unknown to me, but i feel it is important to tell about myself.
My name is Doug and I'm from Massachusetts
Anything else is just too much in my opinion
My life and passion is music everything about it just sets me on fire. Multiple burns and outrageous medical bills I know, but it is what it is.
I feel like doing this everyday (or close to that) should help me reach my goal.
I want to work in the music business.
It is only a recent dream but a dream it is.
Any type of business would work, but i just think me writing down my thoughts about not only this, but life, should set my mind in the right direction.
I want to also hear people opinion, who knows maybe even attract some fans.
I hear that people actually make money on these blog things, I'm not looking for that. I'm just a normal person trying to make something extraordinary in my life I guess.
So for those of you that read, keep reading.

At this point, I've had 15 years of experience (I'm 17) of living. I've dealt with music for about half of that living portion. From what i have heard, it gets better, worse, better, and then worse once again. In the life however you should find a love. Love is complex, as is music. However, Music is just so much more than love. It has depth, sound, words, meaning. Love is just love, maybe passion or lust if you're into that. This frustration inside me isn't stemming from love or music though. I know that was a bit of a side track but you have to deal with my scattered mindset if your reading this. There is a frustration of fakeness. If that's a word, then I'm happy. However, I myself am fake. I've hid stuff from family and friends to maintain my normality and if i feel as if i should say anything about it most likely it will be here. I'm not making this a post secret, but if it comes out it comes out. Frustration towards my self can only be solved by finding it through music, love, or writing. Philosophy?

This is post one, and I'm normal. none more none less.
