State of the Blog Address

When I started this blog, I really didn't know how to start it. For a while, I didn't even have a title. Subject matter spewed all over the place, from favorite TV shows of mine to music that I love to traveling to sports. At that point, it didn't matter what I wrote about as long as I wrote what was true to me.

Then things got a little wild with my favorite hockey team and I jumped on that wagon. It lasted for a while. Actually, it will last forever, but seasons like this past one made the fandom and writing rather difficult. So that explains why the writing came to a halt there. Or does it?

Either way, it's amazing that people still somehow find this blog even though it's been a stagnant place for months now. It seems like there was a period of time when I couldn't tell if anyone was reading anything, but I'd receive the occasional comment. When the writing stopped a few months ago, the comments and emails were building, but about something I wrote well before I started writing about hockey (which was the main focus of this blog).

The post in question was about a friend of mine, musician A.A. Bondy. He's a brilliant guy who has this great album that was re-released just today and he just made an appearance on the Conan O'Brien show in support of it.

It's just weird how things like this work out, know you? The past few months for me have been a whirlwind of adventure, fun, and loving life. In February, I got married and last month we went on our honeymoon to Hawaii. I've been to a few hockey games and been to a few shows. As a matter of fact, a band that I've really appreciated over the past months is a band you'll hear a lot more about, and they're called Today the Moon, Tomorrow the Sun. But there's time to talk about them in the future.

Basically, to whoever has stumbled across this blog, thanks for reading. I'm not planning on stopping, that's for sure. I'm thankful for the kind words, really. Let's see where else this thing can go.
