My 20th Birthday/Blog Renewal!

So internet...It's been a while..I've missed you..You never called me after that
last Youtube date we had...I feel like we've grown apart.

Do I really know where I'm going with this? Absolutely not.

Hello!

So I have decided that on this 16th day of January, In the year of 2010, I am going to start
posting on this Blog again. I will be posting everything from the songs I'm working on, studio updates, my random thoughts on life, and cool clips and things that I'm into.

This day also happens to be my 20th Birthday. I'm scared. 20 is a big number. I am officially no
longer a teenager. I remember being a kid and thinking about being 20 and saying to my mom "I'll almost be dead when I'm that old" haha. Really puts it in perspective.

So I decided that to celebrate I'm gonna head on up to Whistler and Bungee Jump. I'm afraid of heights so it should be interesting but I'm gonna try really hard to get a video I can post on Youtube later.

Also I have been in the studio with my friend Dave Faber for the last week recording a song we wrote together. Should be done next week which is really exciting! I will also be starting my own studio sessions next weekend so expect some new material posted up here soon so I can have some thoughts from all you lovely people.

Well I'm gonna cut this off before I start to ramble. Hopefully this was the first of many updates and Please, Please, Please leave comments and thoughts here. I would love to hear from you guys.

Here's to a fruitful 2010 (I have a great feeling about this year btw!)

Ola for now friends!

Love. Love.
-Brandon
