It's my birthday and I'll blog if I want to...

The title pretty much sums it up. I've been on the fence about continuing this blog for weeks now. The only way I want to move forward is if I make the blog better, make some drastic changes, and take it to the next level. Otherwise, it is too depressing to take the blog seriously when I am doing what hundreds of other (better looking) blogs are doing. But frankly, I don't have the time or energy to do this 100% and I hate half-assing it. When I realized my blog was approaching it's first birthday, a magical milestone that months ago I had told myself would be the day I decided what to do with the blog, I knew it was decision time.

Here is the verdict: I love it too much to stop.

A year ago today, I wrote my first post about Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, I didn't know Hype Machine existed, and I spent the first three months posting you tube videos. Now, 400 posts later, I know a little bit more, but there is still a long way to go. Thank you to everyone that has read and continues to read, and a huge thank you to all the music makers out there. A love for music, a passion for sharing, and an unending quest for new music is the only reason I do this. So it's my blog's birthday and I'll blog if I want to...I'm pretty happy to say I'll stick with it for another year.
