So here it is. This is a blog. I've never done one before, but I guess English class is a good way to start. Unlike most homework, I think that this project will be fun. I've always kind of wanted to start a blog, but I've never had the incentive to do it. I guess this little push will be a good way  to get going.

To start, here's a little about me. I love playing video games, and I love playing music even more than that. I play Trombone really well. I've been doing that for around 8 years. My second instrument is guitar. I've "played" that for 3, but I only got serious about improving at the start of the 2013-2014 school year, so I've pretty much only known how to play for 6 or 7 months. Music is my passion, and It's shaped me into who I am now.

As for what music I listen to, my favorite genre is metal. If you really want to get specific, my favorite band is Sonata Arctica. They're a power metal band from Finland. I will pretty much listen to anything except for country and rap, though. I actually have surprised people before. My friends know I love metal, so when I told one of them about how I was listening to a ton of The Goo Goo Dolls they were really shocked that I listened to stuff that was softer. Go figure.

Anyway that's pretty much what I do. Here's a link to a song I haven't been able to stop listening to lately. I think we have to do this three times a week, so this will be pretty regular. Have a good one!
