Clarification: When I write, I don't prepare or organize my ideas, I just write what I would say if I was talking to you in person, so sometimes my blogs end up a little messy. I don't even proof-read what I write before posting it so you may find grammatical mistakes and poorly written sentences. Sometimes I'll read my blogs a day or two after publishing them and I may re-write things that weren't too clear and any embarrassing grammatical mistake. Also, English is not my first language, so I apologize if reading my blogs become a struggle. Of course, if this is the case, I would imagine you wouldn't continue reading.

WITHOUT YOU WE'RE NOTHING - Being In An Indie Rock Band

If I asked you what do you think being in an indie rock band is, I would imagine some of you might say you think it's a fun hobby in which you meet with your friends to play and write music, perform live once a week or so, have a few followers and admirers, probably get laid every once in a while, and make an extra couple hundred of bucks a month. I think this would be the general idea for someone who's not too familiar with the music scene, and maybe it does describe how it is for some indie musicians out there, but my experience couldn't any more different. Being in a band is extremely rewarding to me but for very different reasons. When you take music as seriously as I do, being in a band is no different than any other job, a job that you love, that is.

All You Need Is Love?

Not too long ago, I asked the following question to all my friends on Formspring:

"Assuming there was a omnipresent god who knows everything about you, past, present, future: what would you do if god told you that from now on you won't ever experience love or romantic affection of any kind, including sex?".
