Well I've been lurking around here off and on for quite some time, but for whatever reason I've never really had the courage, or whatever you want to call it to actually be involved.
Anyway, a bit about myself. I'm 27, from Western Canada and am an aspiring music/guitar/theory teacher. I guess I've always kind of felt alone for as long as I can remember. Growing up I was always kind of the odd man out. I played sports, but never really shared the mentality that went along with it. I never really dressed in a manner that would cast me in any particular group, I liked my metal music, but at the same time listened to music that no metalhead would ever go near. At the same time I knew computers front to back yet never really fit in with the 'geeks' either.
10 years later and it still feels like the same story. Most of the people I know are musicians, but I find it hard to connect with them. Most that are my age seem to be in it for the booze, the drugs and the women, and the music itself usually comes dead last. You know, I don't mind drinking, but I don't do it very often, and almost never enough that I feel it the next morning... The drugs just don't float my boat, and for women, well all I can say is I'd much prefer to sleep with someone I actually cared for and not some random drunk stranger who thinks it's cool I can play a guitar, but never bothers to ask my name.
Anyway, that's probably enough about me for now. So I guess you could say I'm here in the hopes of finding people that I can actually connect with.
