Is this thing on?

I've seen my career take unanticipated twists and turns these past four years, akin to riding a theme park rollercoaster for the first time. Wait, let me back up for a minute. I love music. The joy of discovering my next favorite song is one of the few constants I've known throughout my life. Reading about it, writing about it, sharing new finds and classic tracks with others...music makes my world go 'round. 

Despite the joy it brings me, I haven't blogged nearly as much as I would have liked in recent years. Instead, I've focused my energy on my career which has consisted of managing software-focused blogs and social media channels on both the customer support and marketing sides of the corporate coin. Doing so left me with little motivation or inspiration to blog on the topics I'm passionate about and be active on social media myself. It just felt like a continuation of already long workdays spent staring at multiple monitors. I've kept my eye on new music the entire time...again, that is a constant regardless of what else is going on in my world...I just haven't had the juice to blabber on about it. 

A week ago, my company laid me off and effectively reset my priorities. So here I am, looking for my next career move and trying to make sense of all the jumbled thoughts in my head. A head full of thoughts that feels like a plexiglass hopper full of lottery balls, each one waiting to be sucked to the top and announced to the world. Now that I have too much time on my hands, I think it's best that I start clearing out some room in the ol' cranium again. That is if this little fluff muffin I call Bowie can stop using my laptop as a pillow. Stay tuned.
