Michael Phelps, you're an animal!

It's almost 1:00 am on Sunday night/Monday morning. And in the last few hours i've competed in a scavenger hunt, dined with my lovely grandparents, witnessed the American mens swim team win 4x100 freestyle relay (beating the French by .07, i might add), and, most recently, come to realize that my website (of which I've owned and operated since June 2005) is hopelessly dead. This death was a slow one, spanning over a year, yet I wasn't unaware of its demise. And it occurred, not because there was nothing exciting in my life, but, simply, because there was no music!

Despite how dramatic that sounds, it's somewhat true. I've been composing on the guitar, practicing the piano, and writing pieces; sparsely. But what I haven't been doing is recording. Of course, I could blame this on work, school preparations, or even the shift I made from Sonar to Logic (still getting used to it by the way). The truth is, that for some reason, I've become a little apathetic about audio engineering. Unfortunately for me, I'm entering college as an audio engineering major...

I'll never stop being inspired by the production of music; I'm just getting a little restless at home. But... the change of scenery I've been craving has come just in time! 11 days from now, I'll be moving down to Nashville to become a bruin at Belmont University and I want to immerse myself in all that 'The Music City' has to offer; learn some things, meet new people, and, rather sooner than later, revive my website!

So for the folks who like a good nutshell, my website hasn't been update since Christmas '06 because I haven't recorded anything new. This blog caught me at a pretty cool time in my life though. I'm ready for an adventure.

Hi, I'm Sam Newcomer and Michael Phelps, you're an animal!
