Starting anew.

      A beginning and an end. Those of you who followed me here from Keyboards and Pens, Music and Writing will know what I mean.

Today (January 26th, 2012) marks the first day of this blog and the last day of my last blog. The reason my last blog fell to pieces was stated as best as I could put it in my final post over there.

Hopefully this blog comes over as less immature and random as the better part of my last blog.
As the title of this post says, I am starting anew.


So, who am I?

I am N.R.E:

the apparent musician,

and the apparent author.

Surrounded by a multitude of people,

yet all alone.

Through writing and music I can surround myself and kill the loneliness. 

So, what is this blog?

Below the Hurricane. The title was taken from Blitzen Trapper's song 'Below the Hurricane', which I just so happened to be listening to at the time I decided to create this blog. 

"On the ocean, I think we're taking on water. The storm is on the way, but I will hold on anyways." Taken from the song by Guster: "On the ocean."

 The lyrics can be taken different ways: 

In the literal sense: that you're literally taking on water but will travel into the storm anyways. 

Or the metaphorical sense: you're living your life, thinking that not all is well; You know that hard times are coming, but in the end, you want them to come. 

Given current situations in my life, I related to the song and decided to place that as part of this blog.

So, hello dear readers. I hope you enjoy this next chapter in the life of N.R.E, because here we are, starting anew. Here I am, writing for the sole purpose of providing relief in the form of a more personal, yet open blog. 

Writing for the sake of writing.
