Here we go, I guess

Hey guys, 

I am new to this whole thing. Most of my "musings," if you want to call them that, came in the form of Facebook notes. However, I found that it got to be a little messy that way. These "musings" of mine don't necessarily have a point all the time- I like to post what I'm thinking at the time. Right now, I am relaxing, listening to R.E.M. (and yes, I am devastated that they disbanded). Their last studio album, "Collapse Into Now," is quaintly appropriate, considering that it brought them full circle as a band, figuratively speaking. Of course, nothing can beat their big four: Murmur, Document, Green, and Automatic for the People.

Looking back on it, being a child of the 1990s and early 2000s had its advantages. Back when old school Nickelodeon was awesome, with shows such as Pete and Pete, All That, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and many others. Can you believe it's been almost fifteen years since The Backstreet Boys, Britney, Christina, and N*Sync were just starting out? Where has the time gone? We had our fads- Pokemon, Power Rangers, Tamagotchi, Beanie Babies. You name it, we had it. We even had a yo-yo fad at my school for almost an entire semester. (I for one, though, never bought into it. I was always a rebel like that. At least when it came to yo-yos.)

Currently single, and really hoping to have that change soon. I think I am a nice and likeable man, albeit a little quirky, but who isn't? If only I could have more self-confidence. 

Anyway, I won't go all Holden Caulfield on you (at least not yet). As "Blue," the final song from the final album of my favorite band comes on, I look back on things past and think. Sometimes I cried, sometimes I laughed, sometimes I was scared. But it was a beautiful welcome to humanity. And my introduction has just begun. And, just like the song, the refrain of life begins anew each day. So, let's just enjoy it.
