First Blog...Wow.

Okay, so ive never really had my own blog before. I suppose some of you would be wondering what this blog is all about, and the answer to that is: everything. Some days youll be able to look forward to me ranting about something, or raving about something else-or both. Some days ill post reviews of albums or movies. Some days ill share some of the stuff ive written. But today, im going to explain why i named my blog Alfredo's Shade.

In many ways good ol' Pearland High School was comparable to Nazi Germany. The administrators and teachers were all about their power and didnt like to be questioned about anything, or by anyone. Anyone that didnt like the system had to work undercover to oppose them and had to be careful about it.

My friends and i defied all the rules we could in high school. I'll be the first to admit now that if i had focused as much on my studies as i did on breaking rules, i would have a full ride academic scholarship to whatever school i wanted, but the past is past and theres no use worrying about it. For all the bad that came of it, i DID enjoy high school. But thats besides the point. AS i was saying, we broke lots of rules. Just one of those rules was that we were supposed to eat in one of the cafeterias and nowhere else. However, my friends discovered a wonderful little eating area outside, under a tree that (for unknown reasons) was dubbed "Alfredo".
Our midday meals under Alfredo became one of my favorite memories of high school. It was peaceful and fun and came to represent to me all of the innocence and irresponsibility of high school that I sorely miss.

So i named my blog after Alfredo-an old friend that i hope to see again someday, but probably never will.
