How did I get here?

Wow... Hi. thanks for coming. If you don't know me, I'm Lucien also know affectionately as the truth (as you can see by the title of this ol' thing). How I to creating and posting stuff on a blog (I really hate that word) at 1:09am I will never know.
a few housekeeping things to get out of the way. If you're into proper grammar and capitalization rules, sorry. this isn't that kind of party. I'll try to be good but there will come a point in time when I will not care. second I'm super busy these days which is a very good thing but it may affect the frequency with which I can keep this bad boy up to date.

now that that stuff is up to date let me tell you about me. I'm in school at temple university studying jazz performance. I also spend a great deal of time working with musicians of a higher caliber where I'm really learning the art of performance. My weapons of mass production are the drum set and electric bass. In addition to that, I'm a live sound engineer. (for the lightweight non industry folk, that's fancy talk for soundguy. ) as you can see music is a rather large part of my existence and will most likely continue to be until I leave this planet.

My interests don't stop in stage and studio. I'm a lover of great food doesn't matter if I'm cooking, eating or watch emeril do it on tv. I'm a total foodie. I'm toying with the idea of going back to do my undergrad again in culinary stuff. I think that'd be pretty sweet.

I'm also in to sensible fashion. By that I mean things that people could wear on the street and not get crazy looks. All you crazy goons getting ready for fashion week Milan or NYC, that ish is ugly!!! I love to see a well put together outfit and I'm constantly striving to put at least two together for myself. heh. trying...

now something else really really important. I'm a super family man. I have a core of six family members that I'm in constant contact with all the time. My folks, my little sister, my cousin and my grandparents (on my mom's side. my dad's parents passed away way before I was even thought of. ) Each one of these individuals has strengths and weaknesses but collectively they've been nothing but supportive of me during this life journey so far.

man this is a long post. sorry if this is boring I feel like the background stuff is important. gotta have that foundation.

Now we get to the real driving force behind this whole blog thing... I just let go of someone really special. really special. it was a mutual decision (I can here people going "mmhmm" already). She was and still is a big deal to me and I wish her nothing but the best in her quest to get her stuff together. love you much, sweet tea.

I've been toying with this idea of the whole weblog thing for a few days now but today I couldn't help but be compelled to write (see the paragraph above). So here I'm just going to check in from time to time and say what I have say from this virtual soapbox hoping that I don't scream in vain. I doubt all of the posts won't be quite this long.

thanks for reading,
truth
