Music Monday: First things first.

As I've said before I'm sort of stalled right now, in terms of life. I'm trying to get back into the grooves of things but it's not so...easy, for lack of a better word. I'm going back to school, finding a new home, and a new job. basically it's just a fun time. Thinking so much about where my life is heading and where I want to end up has led me to think about where I started. All my "firsts" kept popping into my head and I thought I'd share with you, bits of me.
