Hello, Hello, They Know, Ya-Yo

I'll cut to the chase. I miss blogging, but I hate what xanga has become and I hate facebook notes. Rather, I dislike how impersonally notes are displayed. Rarely do I ever feel like fully addressing every one of my facebook "associates." Nothing is that important, really.

I was originally going to title this blog "before the onset," as I've found that living by myself and dropping out of church has almost entirely made me a hermit. Then I realized that that title is pretty goth, and--despite my moments of self-loathing--I am far too incredible for that. I did want to chronicle my daily exploits and monitor my abilities in staying a step ahead of depression, something I timidly admit that I feel I am on the cusp of falling into.

Music, my few friends, and weed are pretty much the only vices I have.

With that said, I was trying to nab "the benchwarmers" as my blog name, and then "los benchwarmers" since "the" was taken. The Benchwarmers was originally going to be the name that my music would be released under, but I soon came to realize that I was the only benchwarmer and that my label was indeed a label of one. The idea was that my music was unsupported and a bit unexpected, in the same vein as "independent" music (no, not webbie and not in an avril lavigne-sort of way), and that the benchwarmer was the kid that played the hardest since no one expected him to. So with "the benchwarmer" taken, I am going with "el benchwarmer." The tex-mex flare added to my definitive article doesn't hurt either.

It's been a while, but I'm glad to be blogging once again. My fifteen minutes begins... NOW!
