Special post - Reminiscing

This is a special post, intersecting the scheduled weekly post.

A few years ago, Phillip Bentle and I would frequently go to Zach Magon's house and fool around on the guitar. I couldn't honestly call it jamming, because nothing ever got done. We'd sit around for an hour or two, try to pick out songs, and give each other a hard time (especially Phil). If I had known how much I would miss that crazy, chaotic mess that we called music, I'd have done it every day.

So this goes out to Zach and Phillip, my brothers from other mothers. I'd give anything to go back to those days. Man Scouts forever!

And now some lyrics from Time:
"Tired of lying in the sunshine,
Staying home to watch the rain.
But you are young, and life is long,
And there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you,
No one told you where to run.
You've missed the starting gun."

First post!

Hello world! I'll be posting here weekly, probably on Saturdays or Sundays. I'll leave some brief details of the days that made up the week--hopefully at least some of it will be interesting! What you should expect mostly are stories involving lots of sarcasm. And, I mean, lots of sarcasm.

Also, Pink Floyd is my favorite band.. so I think I'll leave a quote from a different song at the end of each post. Yeah, that sounds nice. Oh, and a YouTube link to the song, in case you're curious.

See you in a few days!

And now, here are some lyrics from Fat Old Sun:
"When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,
Summer evening birds are calling.
Children's laughter in my ears,
The last sunlight disappears."
