Sooo.. How does one get started on this!?

Well, I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while.. So much is happening in my life, and so many changes are coming, that I thought it would be a good idea to get a bit of it out somehow! I see blogs as open diaries.. So you do censor a bit, but you still have a chance to get the things 'out there'.. And I must admit that keeping a diary for myself has never been quite interesting enough for me! When I think back to my teens (Ugh!) I emailed with a lot of people and gave them the lowdown on what went on in my everyday life.. and I wrote these really cool concert reviews/diaries that everyone seemed to love! I recently found some of them when I cleaned up my old closet at my parents house.. What a laugh! It's fun to see your life through your teenage eyes again.. Everything was SOOO dramatic and SOOO complicated!! Compared to the things you deal with now, it's nothing!.. One of my favorite quotes has always been: 'When I was 15, my dad was so stupid! He has become so much smarter since!' heheh..

Is it normal to feel very full of yourself when you start writing a blog?! heheh.. 'Hey, look at me, I'm SOOO interesting that I have to write page up and down about myself and how cool I am!!'.. I hope it passes with time..

Welcome to the blog world, yes indeed it is normal to be full of yourself, this is after all your own little domain where you get to decide exactly how things are run!:D Hell if you want to you can even remain full of yourself but I think after a while you'll get slightly tired of it, maybe not though!:D Anyway I'm looking forward to your thoughts, reviews & diaries, especially if you have any Clawgig memories written down you want to share with us;D Good luck & make sure it's fun cos' if it's not there's no point, don't try to be too difficult or special, that'll just block you, you are special without even thinking about it so just go with the flow & if there's no flow then skip it!

Haha.. Speaking of Claw memories: Did you know that my first ever indoor gig was the Alice in Chains with you guys supporting in KB hallen (I must have been 13!)!? I actually went SOOO crazy in the pit that someone stepped on my ankle and I sprained it!! I spent the whole AIC set in a samaritan room with ice on it!! So thank you soooo much for being so awesome in that I missed AIC!! hahahah.. It's all your fault! Well, that's one of many great claw memories.. I could go on.. But I won't polish your ego anymore for tonight! I think my next review will be Biohazard when they play here in Dec.. That's pretty old school!

Ouch, I'm so sorry to hear that! I actually think that gig is/has been available as a bit torrent, recorded with someones VHS cam, not AIC but us, we look pretty fucking lost but I guess we were! As for polishing my ego well do as you please, I don't get too much polishing coming my way these days so I'll take what little I'm given:D Ok time to put the son to bed very soon!
