singer/songwriter's been singing/songwronging

hello wonderful world of computer people.
it's better brother here to talk about something that plagues many millions of people everyday. it can last minutes, or it can last months. in my case, it has unfortunately been the latter of the two. that's right, writers block.
for a few months, i was on a roll, putting out songs that made me happy, and it seemed to come easy. then, i stopped. for some reason, i stopped. and it became quite hard to get back into it. but i believe that i may have broken the curse by actually completing a new song this morning. now, as a person with a very active imagination, i do try my darndest to write about things that i know. so it only seemed fair to write a song about writers block. it seemed to have done the trick, and hopefully, the dry spell is up, because "this singer/songwriter has been singing/songwronging for way to long".

i hope all is well in your worlds.

welcome, friends and family

before i take the time to introduce myself, i'd like to say a few things.
welcome, friends and family, and thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of your lives. it was my mom-in-law that introduced me to this world, and i hope to welcome and be welcomed in the same way she was.
as for introductions, i am better brother : a singer/songwriter, a composer, a writer, musician, handyman, and jack of all trades, and i'm told i'm pretty good at most. i'm the type of person that thinks faster than i type, and for this reason, you will likely not see any capital letters. if this bothers you, let me know.
this blog, though sporadic, will be a chronicling of my life, as a musician, husband, and human. i look forward to the years to come, and i'm glad we've shared this moment. thank you for giving me your time.
