New Name

Through the help of Wikipedia, I have recently realized what moonshine is. So, I made up a more believable-sounding name for me. Got it? Now I'm Thomas Krol.

Sick and Disgusting

Last week, I disappointed myself in realizing that I've begun using the word sick, when not referring to a person, plant, or animal with a malady or the Ottoman Empire in the 1800s. No, I've been using it to mean "cool." For shame, Storm! For shame!

Anyway, I'm not far into it, so it'll be easy enough to stop, and return to saying, "sweet" or "sweetness." I say both. Plus, every time I say "sweetness," I hear in my head, "Sweetness never suits me when I get it up to take you home..." That's the beginning of the song "Midnight Coward" by Stars. It's a good song, and it makes me happy when I hear it.

Mirage of Loss

You should all check out my other blog, called Mirage of Loss. The link is... somewhere around here. It's my ploy to get people to like good music, instead of that crap that annoying teenagers listen to.

Scared the Crap Out of...Well, Not Me

In our grade 12 World History class, Lisa revealed to me that she had many fears. Throughout the semester, I compiled a comprehensive list of her fears. Don't worry; she has no racist fears. And do not ridicule her; she has a good reason for each.
Her fears, in order of their discovery, are these:

• capital letters
• cheese
• universities
• swimming
• breast feeding, breast pumps, and other related paraphernalia
• getting a cut
• the economy
• the news
• stock market crash and/or recession
• failing
• spiders
• clowns
• Cirque du Soleil, and the interaction it entails
• lethal diarrhoea
• demons
• skeletons dancing around her body
• airplanes
• driving
• downtown in cities (mostly everywhere outside the town she lives in)
• malls
• parking lots
• lots of people
• taxis

I need a job

Seriously, guys. I need a job.

Title

Alright! I would like to share with you all the meaning of my blog's title. Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what the meaning is. It's a quote from this great song called "Rough Gem" by an equally great band called "Islands." They are a Montreal-based band that my cousin from British Columbia told me about. She's the only other person in the world that I know who listens to Islands. Sometimes that makes me happy, 'cause I love Indie music and knowing bands that other people don't. However! It makes me sad that everyone is missing out on the awesomeness that is Islands. Hmm......

Moonshine

So I just googled my name (not my real one) and it turns out Storm Moonshine is an actual thing. Not a person, but a thing. Apparently it's a cleaning product for...bowling pins?

I know. Me too. I was equally shocked as you are. Or is it equally as shocked? My shock was at the same level as yours is.

Day One

Ah, yes. Day One of my new blog. I can't believe it. After years of making fun of blogs and bloggers, I am finally doing it myself. And why? Because someone told me to. Yes, Lisa, I'm talkin' 'bout you. No matter. What's done is done, and I have a blog now. Might as well make the best of it.

So, I've decided to use an alias for my blog. Remain undercover. Storm Moonshine, my name shall be, and my name shall be Storm Moonshine. (I'm a guy, by the way.)

So there it is: my first post. Really makes me not proud. Not proud indeed...
