Well here we are again. Faced with the very long and daunting question of: do I blog every day for the whole of 2013?

Yes.

But unlike my 2011 blogs, these will be formatted a little differently. I'm keeping the quotes because they make me laugh, but I am not trying to come up with a full length post everyday. 

I am going to endeavor to come up with one thing every day: a song. A different song every day, that I love and feel attached to.

Sounds simple enough, right? Well, I'm hoping so. It's been while since I've done this guys. Wish me luck

Song #1- This Year- The Mountains Goats
From the album The Sunset Tree, released April 26, 2005

"I'm gunna' make it/ through this year/ if it kills me"

Blood is thicker than wine is sometimes an untrue statement

See, my family is incapable of unconditional love. They prefer not to empathize, or think about people complexly.

They are not my family. They aren't now, and haven't ever been.

But today, an hour before my birthday ends, I am happy to report that I have found a family all my own. They are very weird, and some don't always get along with others. They are a bundle of rage and anger. And they make way too many buttsex jokes.

But they are a family all my own, and I am happy to have spent time with them today.
