August and Everything After
Well, welcome to my site! This isn't the first site I done and although it isn't much to look it, is just something I want to do. I'm not going to sweat blood for a personal site. Here I'll mostly write about what's on my mind, lacking a better forum I wish to partake in. This is my li'l soapbox :). I'll rant, bitch moan and ponder here; I might add glorious insights, astounding revelations or even an expression of my utter boredom. I'll place it here. Stay and look around or catch a bus home. I'd offer you a cup of Joe, but I don't keep that stuff around...
So, the site's name comes from the Counting Crow's first album, August and Everything After. I always liked that title: a [new] beginning and a continuance. When this is all over (whatever it might be), there'll always be new inspiration, new ideas, places and people. I like the Crow's music, but don't get me started why. Have a listen to it and decide whether you like it or not. Like much in the media, I find what I want to say, to express already "published". Now I can do one of two things: add my own feeble attempts at expression to the mix or expose other's to the things I like. At this stage in my life, I'll take what's behind door number two. Sure, I like to create, observe, articulate, express, contribute and change, but I've have slowed down over the past couple of years. Writer's block or Desert Life. My story.
Anyway, I'm here. That has to count for something. I'll try to add my own spices to the media mix. My magic has worked in the past, but has also singed me. For everything there is a 50/50 chance of happening, regardless of statistical odds: either it does or it doesn't... It much easier to express yourself to strangers. That's why art is in galleries, books get published and people act before an audience. That's why we put stuff on the web (we'll, partly).
Here's to the night: a glass of red wine and a nice song on the stereo.
"The songs are all about me; or at least how I feel about things ... it's ten years about how I feel about things (I left some of the nasty things out)." - Adam Duritz (lead singer of the Counting Crows)
