I'm not exactly sure what to write. The demands of beginning a new blog have only been imposed upon me once before. All I can say is to give explanation for the name of the blog.
Composer Robert Schumann had two muses, Florestan and Eusebius, the latter representing the dreamy more introspective part of Schumann's nature while Florestan represented the more passionate, starker side. As I am not schizophrenic, nor have I muses of any kind, I decided that one name for myself would be appropriate enough.
Additionally, as the name probably already implies, I am a music afficionado. Of more consequence, however, is that fact that my desired profession is music. Note the "desired" part. I'm not there yet. I'm still in college working on getting that coveted degree that will hopefully make me more money than I am currently indebted. I suppose more about me will be gleaned from ensuing posts.
Of their nature I can only say that their thoughts will derive from experiences had by me. Many will be musical...I can't help it - it's who I am. But more than a few will have to do with some other things that I would have never said on my last blog, since too many people there knew who I was personally.
Composer Dmitri Shostakovich said of his own contraversial "Memoirs" that he wished them to be about the things and people in his life and not neccessarily about himself exclusively. I think that's what I want here. I figure if I want to go write a confession or give some in depth analysis of some problem in my life, I have plenty of sheets of unused loose-leaf notebook paper lying around for my own edification.
So...here's to another few years of new blogging.
