Ironsuit’s Weblog

I will admit that I know nothing about blogging and even less about writing but I would love to learn. The idea that I can write whatever I want and share it with many strangers fascinates me.

Who am I anyway?

Some friends describe me as a veteran musician who came to the Texas desert to start a garage band only to find out that he is getting to old to always be broke. I guess it is no surprise to you readers that the life of a musician does not pay awfully well most of the time. I believe it was at the point where I slaughtered free-range chickens that I raised from chicks when I realized my options were running thin. 

At first, I blamed it on the Texas economy. ”It is a poor area,” I argued in my defence. It didnt take to long to figure that out. But the truth is that it was time to get an education. I have put if off for far too long. And besides, I could make more money from my G.I. Bill then from working 60 hours a week anyway. I only needed to make good enough grades to stay in.

Well, that was my thought going into the educational world.

I had no idea that learning was so fun. All the things that I was curious about began to explain themselves to me. I wanted more, much more. 

Meanwhile, my music continues and I still love to pick my guitar and hum the melodies that make me feel like my natural self.
