2023

 Same thing, new location


I have been been an aspiring writer and critic since 2011 when I had the opportunity to take both a creative writing class and a music history class in high school. Since then I have been continuing the aspiration in hope that one day someone will actually give a shit about what I have to say. Like I said, continuing. 

In 2020 I took to Facebook to get suggestions on which albums I should listen to and review, and to my surprise, I received several suggests and semi-positive feedback about what I was saying. Unsurprisingly I also was unfriends almost instantly by several people who's suggests didn't live up to par with my opinions and tastes in music. It's not my fault they listen to bad music. 

2021 brought more of the same, except I turned to making my own decisions on what to listen to and review and I seemed to lose less "friends" over this. I think my reviews became rather intimidating to read, as I would often leave little to the imagination and lay it all out. The attention span of the everyday Facebook scroller is very short, so if you can't read more than a paragraph without your brain swelling, you wouldn't be interested in my reviews.

2022 started to make me less interested in social media, because mid-terms would soon be upon us and the world is doing nothing to get it's shit back together. If you think of one wrong idea and someone gets wind that you disagree with them, you're fucking dead to them. Not that you should give a shit, but at the same time I was actually losing friends due to our differences in religious and political points of views, let alone the type of music they listen to.  That being said, I left Facebook for good and have no plans on returning. 

Now that we are in December of 2022, the Spotify Wrapped is out and the people that patiently awaited my judgement (makes me feel better if they did) are sorely disappointed because I am not on the platform to berate them. I also slowed down on my writing, which honestly sucks and I think that it has impacted me to an extent. I never thought that anyone was really reading the things I wrote, but the act of doing it is a very nice release, filled with improper grammar and punctuation, but still very calming. So this is why I have created this blog, sharing a similar name with my TikTok and Youtube, where I d basically the same thing as before. Listen, write and review music.    

If you are someone who has found this somehow without me sending you the link, thanks for stopping in and reading some stuff. I am excited for 2023 and my return to the keyboard and I hope that maybe one day I will get a little recognition out of it. That's all writers really want, to share their thoughts and have someone care.
