Writing music...

So sitting here bored in my dorm I have decided to write some more songs. The problem is.... writers block. Ah! I hate it! I Could type 500 words on this blog but cant write the chorus for a new song. Sometimes I only half write the songs, only to start another one, half write that one, to start another one. Then while writing the third song I write a part that would fit better into the first song I started writing. So back to square one again, maybe you can understand that maybe not. Its just frustrating. I have two papers due this week and a test on Wednesday so I'm kind of stressing out. No big. Spring Break starts on Friday March 6th. Im excited for that, not going anywhere though for the first time in about 8 years. But I do get to see my family, friends and my girlfriend so it will be a good week or so off. Thats it for now...

Peace and Love,
Nathan

New to this, but heck...

So I'm very new to this blogging thing, but I thought I'd give it a go.

A little about me...

My name is Nathan (obvious by the blog title) I am 19. I am originally from a small town just about 15 - 20 miles east of Indianapolis. I am a freshman at Ball Statue University in Muncie, Indiana, double majoring in History and Social Studies Education. I love it up here, except the weather that doesn't seem to want to make up its mind. Yesterday it was in the 50's and today I woke up to 30 degree temperatures and a light snow drizzle! Kill me! I am also a aspiring musician, I sing and play guitar. Click here to check out my music! . I love God. I am the oldest of three kids in my family, one, my brother, who is a junior in high school, and my sister is in 6th sixth grade. I love my family and friends they are great. I also have a wonderful girlfriend who I love very much, her name is Annie, i'll probably talk about her a lot haha. We've been dating for exactly 2 years and 9 months, my life would suck without her. She helps me keep my head on my shoulders, she's a great listener and someone I truly admire. I am currently spending most of my time studying and recording music. My goal for this summer is to record a demo to start sending record companies. I really want to share my music with people all over the world, touring with my music would probably be the best and craziest experience that I would love to do, I get chills thinking about it. Some people do it for the money, some for the fame, but I truly have a passion for music and I think it can connect people on so many levels. When you hear a song, you automatically try to relate it to your life. Thats why music is an awesome healing and uplifting power.

O.K. so I think I over did this first post and started to babble on a little bit. But oh well. I'll try to post as much as possible but no guarantees. Have a good weekend.

Peace and Love,
Nathan
