And yet, if you know what this says right now, you are reading this post, I suppose. Still, this will probably apply to no one.
Maybe a somewhat depressing note to start a blog with, but kind of true. It's a big Internet out there, and most people have better things to do with their time than reading the blog of some random high school student. Maybe their definition of "better things" means looking at pictures of cats in strange situations with captions that are misspelled for what is supposedly comic effect. But hey, I won't judge.
The point I'm trying to get to, and I'm going to just go ahead and jump to it without any coherent segway, is that I'm a writer. I hope to write to make a living someday. And even if I don't, I'll still be a writer for the rest of my life.
If you've ever listened to a writer talk about their craft (and I've listened to a lot), and if you've ever heard them give advice to aspiring young writers, the one thing they always say is to write constantly, and never stop. So that's what I'm doing here.
What you'll see on this blog will vary drastically. Some days might yield a poem or a short story. Others might be a piece on music or video games, or their respective industries. As a guitarist, singer and songwriter, you may see bits about whatever I'm working on at the time. And sometimes, I'll probably just want to tell the world about something that really pisses me off.
One more thing to address: What the hell does Cave of Pasta mean? If you see me anywhere on the internet, I'll probably be there under the name RamenDragon. It's my username on everything from Twitter to Facebook to Yahoo to Playstation Network to Pure Volume to Gamesradar. There's no real story behind where it came from; I was asked for a username on one occasion, and it was first thing that popped into my head. Thus, the Cave of Pasta is my dwelling, my place of comfort, the one place on the Internet I can call my own.
Don't read it if you don't want to, and you probably won't. I just need a place to write. So here it is.
I didn't read it.
