Writing blog!

I've created a new blog, see, and I want you to read it. In fact, I want you to follow it. So don't try to be cool. Just do it.

It's a place for all of my writing, and that's about it.

I always copy Micah's ideas.

What more can be said?

All Good Things Must Go Up In Flames

The title of this post was going to be the title of a different post, but I never finished it. Right now, I'm thinking that it might be a great title for a thrash metal song. You know, just maybe.

In the last month or so, I have come up with over a dozen different ideas for things I wanted to post about. For some reason, though, this month I could not write a thing. I don't know why. I guess I was just too busy, and when I had time to do it I was busy thinking about other things and never had enough time to really get going.

Now I have a little bit of free time, but I'm just going to write about my life, since all of the complicated blog posts take too much time and effort. At least this post will be posted.

I have had a very musical week. Two of the bands that I'm in have shows coming up and we're rehearsing a lot. One of the bands has a show this Saturday, and the other has one in August. Also, the latest play I'm in is going into tech week, and we still have a lot of songs to run. Oh yes, and my friend Joe Harris and I are working on a musical again! Collaboration for the win!

I'm currently very excited that we finally picked a name for our band (the one that has a show in August). You would think that finding a name would be the least of our worries, but I was kind of bummed that it looked like we would be announced as "The Joseph Lamy Band," which just doesn't have the same ring as "The David Crowder Band" or "The David Matthews Band." I mean, you've got the short vowel repetition, but there's just no name recognition. No offense, Joe.

We're called heretoday, and yes, the "t" is supposed to be a cross. Just wait 'till you see the t-shirts. I'm quite happy with it, because it's short, easy to remember, sound kind of cool, and has spiritual meaning. And, on what I suppose is a more important note, we had a great rehearsal and our songs are sounding great. Finally I feel good about playing them. I still have one harmony that needs practice, but we're practicing again tomorrow night so I should be able to get it. Besides, we have at least three more after that before the show. Fun stuff.

In addition to blogging, I've started work on a novel again. Hooray! I finally found a copy of my book about a homeless college graduate on one of my dad's hard drives. After this post is complete I'll be back to work on that. It's amazing how many edits are required after growing just a year older. I embarrass myself sometimes... but perhaps after some more editing I will post an excerpt or two on here. I don't know, maybe somebody will be interested. We shall see.

And all that pop.

Perspective Post

Hi Everyone,

Jake said on his blog that I had agreed to write a post on perspective from my point of view. I am finally going to make good on that, but the first of three posts on perspective is so annoyingly heady that it really makes more sense to put it on my other blog, "Assuming I Exist." So if you head over to that blog, you can read it, and maybe at some point you can read the children's story I mention in the post. Maybe.

I'm working on a very long and difficult-to-word post.

Hence, nothing new right now. My apologies.
