a simple intro..

so i decided to start a Blog.  there are a few reasons for this and here are a couple:
1.  most of the time, i hate journals and writing by hand
2.  MySpace blogs and Facebook notes are lame
3.  i have a lot of things to say, whether you care and whether you read them or not.
4.  i think this Blog could get me famous if i play my cards right… (wishful thinking)

so now you know why I’m here.  I only want to write about things in a professional manner and about things I honestly care about.

read further to see some of the things ill be writing about

consider this a synopses of my autobiography:

My name is John Stizza. i grew up in a military family so i had no hometown, until now. i graduated high school in Colorado Springs, CO from Liberty High in 2003 and hated everything about it. i think Belmont University breeds some of the finest musicians and artists in the world and its only a matter of time before things explode for all of us.

i have two passions in life: music, and the love of Jesus Christ. those two things dictate my life, and i know it and am okay with it.

i love my parents and my sister, Colleen. i find myself loving them more and more everyday since i moved away, yet growing a bit more distant sometimes.

i play in isHesafe, a Nashville rock band. my bandmates are the closest thing i have to family in Nashville. it shows, cuz we fight like brothers sometimes. i dont care, i love them.

im convinced i can tell a lot about someone just by their top 5 favorite artists/bands. so far ive been right every time. my top 5 are always changing, but today they are Ryan Adams, Paper Route, Jose Gonzalez, Sophia, and Brand New. if you couldnt tell, i like hardcore, i like folk, i like electronica, i like rock, but i also like some country and hip hop and rap. i will admit, i hate some music, too, but i feel so many people spend too much energy hating things rather than trying to create something better.

the hardest thing i deal with every day is accepting when someone finds enjoyment from something i dislike. its because i think im right, but i know im not. its a constant struggle and i need to be reminded of it sometimes.

im a very relaxed person. i feel i have experienced a lot so far in my short time here on Earth and i feel like i give good advice and have great common sense. my natural calmness often makes people believe im not very excitable or enthusiastic, but they’re wrong.

i have one true best friend outside of my family. his name is Mike. he is my opposite in every way possible. thats probably why he’s my best friend.

i dont like being inspired by heartache, but sometimes its the most powerful inspiration, other times its just cliche.

for those of you who cared enough to read all of this, welcome to my life.

God Bless (He sure blessed me)
