Concentrating and Procrastinating
… or perhaps more a more appropriate title for this post would be “I really hate writing the first post!”
I never know what to write for the first post, and “Welcome to my blog” just sounds lame. So I have been procrastinating for hours on this, fooling around with themes and plugins and telling myself the whole time that I’m just concentrating on making this blog the best I can for you.
In reality, I’ve been sitting here wondering what to write, flipping back and forth between the hockey game and my piano. And it strikes me that one of my favourite ways to get back on track when I’m totally unfocused is to sit down and play the piano for awhile… Bach, in particular.
There’s something about the way the total precision of a Bach Prelude demands absolute concentration. It’s the perfect tonic for a frazzled mind because it’s so precise. It’s also a great way to empty your mind of everything but the music, in a way that just listening to it never could. And of course, it’s a great tool for procrastinating when you’re in desperate need of an original idea to write about 
So there you have it… a somewhat original first post! Oh, and welcome to my blog.
