Don't expect this to be a regular thing, but...
Well, a lot of things have evolved for me in the past year and change. Good things, bad things, things inconsequential, and things only seemingly inconsequential. A newfound sense of priority and an overwhelming compulsion to remove and/or modify some facets of my daily and semi-daily life have led me to all but abandon this blog thing.
Yes, it safe to assume that all is well in the Swift household, that things are progressing in a relatively sane and orderly way.... much to the surprise of some of you, I'm sure. And probably to the chagrin of others.
Without giving too much away, there have come a new place of dwelling, a new love (or two), some serious and sometimes ongoing soul-searching, some worry, some elation, and some things unexpected and surprisingly wonderful.
I know this is awfully cryptic, but trust me, I have my reasons... partly to distance myself from things of the past, good or bad, and to find the root of these pleasures and despairs. I'm pretty happy with where I have ended up on a personal level, and am feeling that I have both overcome some past weaknesses, and also gained some strength and resolve in dealing with those of others.
For those who are interested in a little more meat to go with these potato(e)s, I'll offer up an appetizer- I've been touring in a rock and roll band. I could probably (and may well) write a book about those experiences. I will, for now, keep the identity of said ensemble to myself to protect the innocent (and the not so)- but suffice to say that there have been, in no particular order; grueling drives, quart jars of moonshine, onstage "Jane Fonda" workouts, inappropriate comments to complete strangers, Doc Martens being worn on the beach, fist fights, bar tabs larger than our paycheck, my first time signing autographs, surprisingly little vomiting, nights of playing to 2 people, nights of playing to 2000 people, and at least one impromptu cover of "Sweet Home Alabama." Jesus, I could go on forever.... better get started on that book.
love y'all,
