The Canon Logic

Along comes a band that has the musical energy and spirit to define a genre. The Canon Logic is an underground band out of Philadelphia, PA that has used frequent performances and small internet releases to begin to step out of the garage and into the spotlights. As an unsigned group of five rising stars, they continue to better themselves and provide quality music for their listeners.

The style is reminiscent of old time pop with a new age punk feeling. They have pleased fans with the combination of new sounds and melodies and the limitless motifs of lyricist Tim Kiely. As they being to expand northward to New York City it is important that their fan base continue to grow. So to check out what this band is all about I recommend visiting their Myspace page. I guarantee that once you are there you will enjoy your stay. You can purchase their two mini-releases at the ITunes music store as well. Keep the movement going...

Verizon FIOS Supported

As someone who has grown up surrounded by new and emerging technologies, you can imagine my frustration when I could not figure out how to connect my wireless adapter to my family's new Fios network. After going through countless procedures outlined on their website, I could not get the damned thing to work for me. And reluctantly, I turned to the "pros". Now I say reluctantly because in the past I have had little to no success calling various support departments for help and information. Most of them don't have the time to deal with you, don't know anything about their products, or just don't care enough to try. And after all is said and done, eventually you are left more frustrated than before. But to my surprise, the Verizon Tech Support solved my problem in a few minutes by walking me through the setup. It was a simple procedure, but nothing I would have figured out on my own. And this is my first blog post since connecting to the network so I thought I would dedicate it to them. Thanks guys...

Explanation of Projects

On the right hand side of the page I have a section of links called "projects of interest". I thought I had better clarify what this means because the second time I looked at the page I was confused myself. The first is a link to a company that a few of my friends started very recently. It is a high end computer design company called, Halogen PC. Their website is almost ready to go live and you can begin to place orders very soon. These computers are custom built and perform to the highest ability for all of your gaming and computing needs.

The second project is a company that my friend and I started while still in college. Though it has been slow moving so far, we hope to be ready for action very soon. The idea behind the project is quite simple, it is a social networking website designed for frequent travelers. The main point is for travelers to help each other plan trips by sharing information and experiences. It will be free to join and I encourage all of you to check it out as soon as it is live. Thank you and check back for updates soon.

Thoughts on Life

As you reach a certain point in your life, some things start to become clear. And that, in itself, is understandable. The thing that seems to have taken me by surprise is the fact that as more things become clear, and I know more about the world that I live in, I find myself disappointed. I don’t know if mortality is setting in as I start to realize that life is shorter than anyone could explain. Or maybe I am disappointed in the lack of things that I have accomplished at the ripe old age of twenty-two. But I am starting to believe something slightly different. My mind has always led me in strange directions.

My imagination has been the driving force behind everything that I have done in life. Whether it was my sense of humor or style of writing, a strong imagination has led me off the beaten path. It has allowed me to stand out among my peers. But as I get older, the world has gotten smaller. The mysteries that have kept my imagination alive are starting to fade away, replaced with facts and truths that I have collected through experience and knowledge.

Most people would look at that and say that I am growing as a person, someone who knows more about the world, but I believe that I am shrinking. Or at least my mind is shrinking. There are new limitations on a mind that used to flourish with unknowns and multiple possibilities. It seems that the more I know the less room I have to fill in the blanks how I would like. I guess I am realizing that the world was not all I made it up to be. The perfect fantasies that guided my childhood have been blocked out and covered up by the ugly reality of life as we know it today. I guess you could say I am depressed, but as a matter of fact I believe that depression is a more realistic state than any I know or am likely to know in my life. Depression is the realization that the world is smaller and crueler that you ever thought, and that in itself is just another fact.

In my opinion, the less you know, the more you guess and create for yourself, the better. I am not saying anyone should choose to be naive, but it certainly makes for a more pleasant and consuming lifestyle. Of course, that could just be me.
