A first note for a first blog about firsts and new things

I have been considering writing a blog for a while, but could not think of the common thread between everything that I like. I am a professional musician, so writing about music would have made sense; I love to cook as a hobby, but it's clearly been over done; hair is fun to do, but I don't feel strongly about writing about it every day; tourism was also an option, that I will keep for when I am richer and can afford traveling more than I do now; human behavior interests me a lot too, although I doubt that I know enough to write much about it.

So I came to the conclusion that blogging was not for me.

But here I am blogging.

The epiphany came. New things are my common thread. What I love about music, cooking, hair, tourism and human behavior is the newness of it all. After all, I just got back from my first time in Austin, TX, am currently performing a show of rock'n'roll music which I had never played before, show that allows me to wear my hair in a different 50s fashion style at every day of each show, am making my first pearl onion relish as I am writing, and finally, am creating a blog, which is definitely a first.

My goal with this blog is to share all the new things that get me excited about life: new finds, new foods, new music, first hair, first visits, new thoughts.

A new things is always a first.

Welcome.
