What's going on here?

I want this blog to be a project.

If you know me, you know I hate to blow my own horn, as the saying goes. My idea is to tell you my story, with particular focus on my story as it relates to bands I’ve been in, semi-chronologically and semi-autobiographically. I wish this story were being told by someone else but in lieu of that I want to get this shit out there and then I can forget about it.

I will also paste some of this stuff to my social media, to my 5 accounts, according to relevance — namely Ivan Nahem [Facebook]; Ritual Tension [Facebook group]; Carnival Crash [Facebook group]; @IvanNahem [Instagram]; @ritualtension [Instagram].

So. To start with, here is a photo of tulips in our living room this morning. Before they drop, the petals seem to reach out with all their might. (Painting by Diane Viera.)
