Hello. My name is Wildy and I am a blogger. I mean, I used to
be, but I intend to be once again.
I spent eight years writing the wildly popular Wildy's World.
Okay, perhaps not wildly popular but decently respected by the independent
music community. I completely overdid it for a few years and managed to turn a
really fun hobby into something I felt increasingly obligated to do and
resentful of. Smart, eh?
So I loved it for the first five years, and pretended to love it
for the next three because I couldn't admit to myself that I didn't enjoy it
anymore. Don't get me wrong. I love music. I love writing about music. I
just became incredibly burned out after 3,000+ reviews and endless press
releases touting the next big thing.
I made some great friends and acquaintances through the process,
but it came time to put the old blog away. After nearly a year of not really
writing I find myself hungry to do so once again. I just couldn't go back to
the same old playground.
You might be asking yourself by now, "Who the hell is this
guy and why is he telling us his life story?" That's okay. Ask
rhetorical questions. I am writing this for me. If I happen to entertain,
provoke, inform or otherwise inspire anyone in the process, that's gravy.
Here I will talk about music. I will talk about sports and
politics and human issues and family and philosophy and whatever else comes to
mind. Don't expect a regular format or schedule. I'm here on my own dime and on
my time.
Why?
Because I said
so.
