Gonna Take A Trip Down Memory Lane: Prologue

I think it was my senior year in high school when I first attempted to write out the story of my life. It was rather well received when I wrote it and I was pretty proud of it then. I have recently went back to read it again today and, well, it really wasn't written too well. Some huge parts of my life were completely left out and to be completely honest, I wasn't that great of a writer.

If I am guessing correctly, it is about 3 years later and my writing has improved greatly. Going to college will do that I guess. So I am going to attempt to do it again, but this time a little differently. The first time I did this, I tried to finish it in one night. This time I am going to take my time, and flesh it out over a few weeks.

I am doing this because I feel like it is a good way to let people know who I am, not just some guy in a band who is naked all the time.

Another reason I am doing this is because I truly do think I have a noteworthy life. Not to say that other people do not, it is just that I am kind of a much different person than most people, and my closest of friends can confirm that for you.

I guess I picked a shitty week to start this, because I do have important papers that I need to finish by the end of the week, but the truth is, I really don't feel like writing about anything else at the moment.

So here it is. What I am about to write, and what you are about to read, is the story of a boy who couldn't keep himself out of trouble, grew up too fast, fell in love with music, made great and lost great friends, made a name for himself, struggled with many hardships, stuck to his guns and tried his hardest to be an honest and genuine person throughout his existence. This is the full story of me, Andrew Bilder, free of falsehoods and exaggerations.
