" 'The mind is its own place, and in itself/Can make a Heaven of Hell, A Hell of Heaven.' " -John Milton, "Paradise Lost"

I'm still working on changing things up a bit around here, so bear with me as I tinker.

You may notice the title has changed. My musings have expanded beyond the musical, so I thought the title needed updating along with the rest of the overhaul.

Additionally, I found out that I can update from my phone. We'll see where this goes, because I'm not entirely sure how I feel about blog updates in only 160 characters. I may leave that to Twitter, and keep this website open as avenue for more lengthy, detailed looks into my mind, which is made of largely of self-absorption and depravity. (As a side note, it smells oddly of my own flatulence and Astroglide; fans of "South Park" and pornography should appreciate those references.)

I appreciate everyone sticking with me and reading this; my ego thanks you all as well (especially if you decide to become a follower!). My Facebook page will have an update every time I update here, so keep checking back often. Follow my Twitter page (link on the sidebar) for more current information about my escapades, too. And if you want to hear a couple of recordings of clarinet performances given by yours truly, look for me on MySpace (or just click the link below my Twitter page). Most important, however, is that you tell all your friends about this blog. I have a terrible hunger for attention that only more followers (and commenters!) can sate.

Just so you all know that I am aware of my narcissism, I do realize that the previous paragraph was transparent, blatant, and shameless whoring. Oh well, my talent isn't going to sell itself without some serious pimping.
