My name is Serge and this is my blog. I’ve been toiling with the idea of starting a blog for a while. This vacuous hole we commonly refer to as the Internet is already inundated with a plethora of social commentary that what would be the point of me starting another page of empty dialogue. Honestly, I don’t know or care, I just like to write but the idea of sharing over the interweb got pushed to the bottom of the to do list. I created this forum to write about anything I so wish to write about. I couldn’t decide if I should just stick to music, which is my niche, but limiting myself to just that world would honestly be boring. There are so many things I enjoy talking about that I decided this blog will also be a place to share my thoughts and views on anything from music, film, sports, photography, food, comedy, concerts, drums, video games, and anything else that may interest me along the way. ..perhaps politics? HAHAHA!
Check out my ramblings over on the next pages.
Interests/hobbies:
Music, drums, football – the soccer kind, snowboarding, hockey, traveling, biking – preferably in Berlin, board games, tennis, squash – the game kind, rock climbing, basketball.
Favorite Music:
“Ask me and I’ll educate you.” I love a lot of stuff both old and new, and take pride in introducing new music to people. That being said, I think I’m ok with being called a music snob because I do have strong opinions on music and I also have a blatant dislike for anyone that enjoys Nickelback, new country, or any Idol program. I can appreciate the musicianship and singing voices of some of these new country artists but I can’t listen to that crap at all. Any Idol program does not count as music…those are glorified karaoke singers.

1. Kings of Leon ‘Only By The Night’
2. TV on the Radio ‘Dear Science’
