My first blog. This has to be good.

I've never blogged before. Since everyone's started blogging, I thought I'd start, but I imagined my first blog would represent a momentous, life-changing moment for me. I thought I'd discuss aesthetics, the importance of art in life, or perhaps the spritual development of the world as it pertains to music. I imagined I'd philosophize, theorize, and put forth some incredible ideas about how music, art, sprituality, and life feed off and sustain and strengthen one another. I'd have to come up with some pretty amazing words to do that, and I'd spend some serious time reflecting and meditating upon my first blog entry. It would have to be good, or it wouldn't be worth reading.

Here I go...

I broke my pinky toe tonight. I carelessly walked into a doorframe and broke it. I've stubbed my left pinky toe approximately 7,591 times in my lifetime and never broke it until tonight. It hurts. I went to the hospital. They X-rayed it, then taped it to my No. 4 toe, gave me a giant foam shoe and two crutches, and sent me home. That's it.

I'm mad because I can't ride my bike for a while. I'm mad because this foam shoe looks rediculous and I have to conduct The Marriage of Figaro on Thursday night. I'm mad because I could've taped my pinky toe to its neighbor myself--I didn't need to go to the hospital and waste 3 hours for that. It throbs a bit. I'm irritable. I feel stupid for walking into the door.

That was my first blog...interesting.

Next time I'll discuss music or at least something more sustaining than my pinky toe.
