A New Way to See the World…

Hello fellow music lovers,

Previously, I have given you words and phrases to describe some of the best kept secrets in the alternative rock medium.

No more.

I’m gonna make it even better.

From now on, my posts won’t just be humdrum or innocent little mock-ups of what music does to our eardrums. That’s boring.

I’ve decided that I’m going to:

1) Write even more enthralling details behind why alternative artists splay my soul to pieces

2) Adjunctly, I will also relate the music I find to movies I feel go along with them (and vice versa), and YOU can comment, add on to the list of songs that go with the movie scene/trailer, down in the comments below.

3) Then, I will produce my own piece of artwork from listening to the music, and put it alongside the music, the movie scene.

4)  This just might as well be a whatever-I-want website, where I can blend everything I can’t blend in reality. Ya dig? Poetry, art, music, film. Let it engulf me here.

Why do I do all of this? Are my creative genes more pertinent than normal? No. I just feel, at this part in my life, I’m not sure of what I’m capable of. It’s not that sad; I’m learning, and you can love the process or you can hate it. This is me loving it. Through my ups and downs, my triumphs and trials, I hope to always be able to express myself. Someway, somehow. Even if I’m not saying anything it all (that’s what American sign language is for! haha – love that language).

I also do this because people deserve to get all the inspiration they can get. There’s Pinterest, and then there’s me and my baby website.

Don’t give up on your dreams people. Nothing is ever temporary. And remember….”The magic never has to stop” (Disney World commerical reference). After this post, our powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.

Adiós mis amigos,
