MY FIRST POST EVAR!

GREETINGS TO THEE, VASTNESS OF THE INTERNETS!
No, this entire thing won't be in caps. So I've done it. I've joined the scores of people who write down what they're thinking for the entertainment of complete strangers. Fortunately I'm not a shy person, so I think I'll fit right in. The reason I named this blog "Reaching for the Dream" is that it's always been my dream to make a career doing what I loved: playing metal guitar and singin' my heart out. I'm in a band called d'Archangel, in which one of my best friends Dom, who plays a mean lead, and can roar like a lion, is my counterpart.
I think we make a good team.
However, there is, at the moment, just the two of us. A drummer and bassist are required, no matter how awesome two guitarist/vocalists just going nuts would be.
Nonetheless, that's not what this blog is about. Basically, I just decided to create this to keep the internetz aware of my progress towards said goal. And also to rant about shit I think about music in general. (As an aside, I like this "Katy Perry" person-she's different, which is more than can be said about most pop.) Ever since I first got passionate about playing/listening to music, it's all I've really wanted to do as a career. I mean, I love the arts in general; I've done some acting, and stage-fighting is super cool, but my heart lies in music. It's always been the balm with which I've soothed the wounds life has given me; seriously, there's never been anything that's bugged me that writing a song hasn't helped with.
Aside from playing metal guitar, I do enjoy playing acoustic. Considering Dom lives 2 hours away, most of the gigs I've been doing have been my solo acoustic stuff, some of which you can find here:

Honestly, I can't wait until Dom moves into town so we can start up d'Archangel for real. I really wanna do this rockstar thing; I'm hoping that my drive will be enough.
