Have you ever noticed how there is a musical quality to every noise? The steady thump of windshield wipers, the soft whisper of rain as it falls and the sad mournful sound of the wind are just a few that come to mind.
To me it's a reminder that no matter how isolated or alone we might feel we are all a part of the same song. We are out of harmony and clash some times. But when we play together we resonate. We sing together and it's a beautiful thing.

The Importance of Being Penis
Who would have thought that spam could be good comedy material? I got one tonight that I'm still laughing about.
Our pills will increase the size of your penis and cure importance too.
Yeah cause everyone needs to be cured of importance.

Looking Back
This whole blogging thing has me thinking of a thousand and one different things that I'd like to write about. I'm thinking I'll just take it one at a time though.
High school has been on my mind a lot today. I graduated way back in 19 mumble-mumble. Long enough ago that I can look back at that time without feeling all of the teen-age anguish that went with it.
Remember the "in crowd" in school? You know the ones who drove the cool cars, had just the right style of clothes and always knew what or who was the latest in cool. The ones that you hated but secretly wanted to be just like. Yeah, them. That wasn't me.
I was the band geek. For some reason the in crowd couldn't see the uber coolness that was and is the clarinet. Imagine that! Not content with just being the band geek I was also the drama nerd. Yeah not the cool performer type. That wasn't me. I was the clipboard carrying stage manager.
It hurt being the odd ball back then but it's served me well in life. There's a lot to be said for not being afraid to be who you are. Going against the crowd is a character building experience.

First Step
I've spent a long time reading other blogs and thinking "I could do that." But somehow the time never felt right before. It's been on my mind a lot lately so I finally worked up the courage to take the plunge.
Music plays a huge part in my life. I started playing the clarinet in grade school and continued into high school playing in the honors orchestra. Along the way I added in the piano and guitar but the clarinet has always been my first love.
In the last few years I've had to deal with deep depression. Along the way I stopped playing and became a virtual recluse. I went out as little as possible and along the way I lost interest in everything that had mattered so much to me. The clarinet and guitar were packed away and I spent my time watching tv and surfing the internet.
Life is slowly improving and I've begun playing again. It feels right. Like a huge part of me that was missing is back again. I'm not ready to go out and play in public anytime soon but one of these days it will happen.
