Blog.

So I have a blog.

Why do I have a blog? That part's a little bit more complex. See, life has been different since I've been on my own with a good job and a place to live. At first it was incredibly exciting to set my own schedule and play by my rules.

Work!

Relax!

Sleep!

It was exciting because even though it was the same stuff that I've been doing every day for the last few years, it was in a new surrounding. Slowly, the activities became far more familiar and far less lustrous.

Work!

Relax...!

Sleep?

That's when I realized that relaxation wasn't really all that relaxing anymore. Sure, it's nice to deflate after work, but the activities I'd come up with weren't all that stimulating:

Television's not so bad...

Video Games... yeah...

Movies! Wait, that's the same as television.

The variation in my life turned out to be whether or not there was a controller in my hand as I sat in front of the TV. It got boring - see, my movies don't play on the ceiling, that's exasperation in that picture there. I don't mean to imply that I felt lonely or anything, it's just that a new place meant new people and I hadn't gotten to know everyone all that well. It was more that everything had become monotonous. Routine. Hence the title of the blog.

Anyway, when relaxation turned out to be non-relaxing, I knew that I was doing something wrong. I read, but really that's more sitting. I write music, but my profession is also music. I require creativity that's as far away from my job as possible.

So I have a blog.

What will go here? I have no idea. I'm not always the best at making plans. I'm also notoriously bad at updating blogs. I know this is true because I've started no fewer than eight blogs, and every time I decide - nay, I vow - that I'll be accountable and update regularly. This works until a few weeks go by. It's sort of a viscous blog cycle.

So hopefully this will be different. I don't expect anyone will read this beyond some friends, but I'm not doing it for people to see it. I'm doing it for me. Hopefully it'll be a little witty to make the read worthwhile should someone else stumble upon it.
