Music blog?

Sure, I've blogged. As far as I am aware, it is essentially obligatory for anyone studying abroad these days to create an online venue for purging photos, tall tales and overly exhausted descriptions of the "sites." So I've blogged, but not with any purpose. Who cares what I write?
Not to be cynical about the endeavor, I do think that it is clutch to get the thoughts or whatever it may be down, its simply the fact that the blog not only everywhere, but its for anyone. I'm a little self-conscious, or perhaps not egotistical or maybe not brave enough for the blog that consists of more substance than a rundown of my days' events while living in China. I certainly think it something to think that any of your old thoughts merit distribution. At least, say, if I did write, or if I was writing "back in the day (?)" I would forced to muster up a bit more courage or ego or learn to squander my over zealous timid side. I don't know much about the publication process, but it seems to me that you really have to fight and advocate for yourself in order to get your first few words in print. (also, is the second person even acceptable in blogs?) For me, I would have to garner quite a bit of confidence about my work to go through the process. Whereas with this blog, oh, cursed blog, anything I think up can be public with a click of the ominous "publish post" button.
If I wasn't in enough of a crisis about simply publishing my actual thoughts, anxiety is compounded by the fact that I am writing about music. Don't get me wrong, music and language as both things that can rouse a passion in me, but the thought of applying language to music mystifies me. A large portion of my time is allocated towards studying the complexities of language, particularly foreign language. When I start to poke around a new language I do notice a musicality to it, but never would I necessarily find language in music. The best way for me to judge a piece of music is tailored specifically to my body and I've never even flirted with the idea of transferring the sensations to words.
When I hear or play or somehow experience a new piece of music I sometimes get the chills. Actually, if the music if halfway decent I get something of a chill and if it is life changing my whole body is aware. When a good piece of music hits me it starts in the base of my spine and spread up and out through my ribs, eventually reaching my heart and circulating through my body, usually to my arms and, in extreme circumstances, all the way through my finger tips, my toes. I suppose the trick will be to unpack what happens and to slow down the process to fit words. And of course, to learn to articulate what is not happening that prevents me from getting the chills.
Where to begin? Perhaps a chill-o-meter? We shall see.
Here's to the journey,
