Hi, my name is Donnie and welcome to my blog. I, like a lot of you, have recently felt the need to find a place to vent my thoughts. I needed a place to talk about my feeling and obsessions that was somewhat private. However, it makes much more sense to me to use this platform instead of a journal as that feels more like shouting into the void. At least when I’m writing on here there’s a chance someone is listening.

But less on existential crises, and more on me!

I’m in my mid 30s and I’m slightly obsessed with planes. I’m actually even training to become a pilot. I haven’t flown alone yet, however, I’m moving quickly toward my goals.

When I’m not flying or wasting away at a pretty regular 9 to 5 job, I’m outdoors. I’ve always been a little bit of an adrenaline junky so I spend a lot of time riding mountain bikes and bombing hills on my longboard.

I’m into the punk and indie music scene in Chicago. Some of my favorite bands right now are Twin Peaks and Ratboys. I grew up going to warped tour so naturally I have to talk about my superior music taste on the internet, haha!
