Welcome!

I figured my first post should tell a little bit about myself. Not the typical dribble about what I do, and where I live, and so forth and so forth.

Perhaps, something a little more in-depth?

Being an aspiring writer, I have a tendency to delve deep within myself, and 99% of the time the things I find are not pretty. They are ugly and dark. The realism, most times, too hard to bear.

Music is a large part of my life. Often times enough, not only the music, but the lyrics as well, penetrate the deepest of regions that I, myself, couldn’t go. It’s beautiful. It’s beautiful what music can provoke, and pull to the surface.

So many times on MTTM, I’ll probably mention a few lyrics here and there that grappled with my heart and/or mind that particular day.

I’ll try my hardest to write daily, but I doubt it’ll happen. Perhaps, weekly instead. I’m in the middle of writing for a grant, so time is of the essence, but I’ll do my best.

The last thing I’ll mention is that I absolutely reak havoc in regards to grammar.  I can’t emphasize that enough.  I’ve learned to live it… so will you.

(Thank God for editors.  Such a dirty work they have.  I admire them… truly.)
