Because I was told to do this...

So I have never had a "blog" before. I actually despise the word, not because of what they are but for some random reason I just hate the word BLOG. Much like my hate for the word exfoliate. It's just one of those things I suppose, and I'm telling you right now, I tend to wander in my stories but don't worry, it will all come together.....usually. 

So, moving on...as I was talking to a wonderful friend, Mr. Brad Reynolds, we were discussing blogs and how they should have a purpose or some sort of meaning behind them. I told him that I couldn't think of anything I would want to write about and that is why I didn't have a blog. Well I made up my own reason now. The title of this entry is "because I was told to do this" which doesn't really sound like much of a purpose, but I will explain. I was told to start a blog by Brad's wife, who just happens to be my longtime best buddie Ashley. I told her the same story about how I wouldn't know what to write about, and I agree with Brad, it should have purpose. Now for anybody who knows me, music is my life. I love it, I play it, I breathe it. The words I write and sing about come from the usual life experience...happy love songs about a girl, and then the lovely break up songs that follow. But rather than write about the same crap that is heard every day, I enjoy writing something real. I get so much inspiration from my friends and what they have to say; do they even know this?? Inspiration comes from everywhere, a picture, a song, a movie, a book, a person...whatever...but I figure, maybe I have some things to say that could inspire. I can't imagine what, but I would like to think my words aren't totally useless. So there is my purpose...writing in hopes that I can inspire. First post is written and done.
