august 19th

So I've never written a blog before but I'm always up to try something new. I guess I'll just start this off with talking about me, let the reader learn something. In the words of the band Ruiner "I'm just a hardcore kid from a shitty town no different than any of you." granted you might not be a hardcore kid, might live in a great town, or both. Regardless of what music you like or where you live it's just a poetic way of saying I'm nothing special.
I never went to college, I didn't try in high school, I didn't come from money, I've gotten to this point in my life because of my own choices and hard work.
I'm 21, my passion is in different types of film making, photography and music. All of those things have brought me either jobs i love or the chance to travel with bands. Before I turned 19 I had already met CEO's of companies, gone on business trips and travel around with a few of my friends bands. Needless to say I am happy with my life.
This blog has no point, it will probably mostly be just random reviews about albums and movies or just random stories from hanging out with my freinds.
So to start off that trend and habit I want to send you off with this recomendation; Jonny Craig - A Dream is a Question You Don't Know How to Answer. Check it out it was released yesterday on Rise Records. Jonny Craig is the former singer of band Dance Gavin Dance and current singer of Emorosa. Surprisingly unlike most other solo album this one doesnt sound like the band he's in, its not crappy electro beats he made on his laptop in the van on tour and its not just simple hipster-acoustic emo. You can really tell he put time, effort and heart into this record. I have had it a little over an hour and this is my second time listeng to it. I might redo my review on this record after a few more listens but I can already tell this isn't going to get off my iPod anytime soon.
