So i decided i should totally start a blog

Hopefully it'll be a succesfull attempt to
a) start a page where i will actually be writing something with at least some level of regularity;
b) use it as a place to save my random bursts of creativity or just rare occasions when i have some thoughts that i feel like writing down instead of, well, just forgetting them.
After some deliberation it becomes clear that a) and b) are pretty much the same sentence, just differently composed, so i guess i better move on.
For the music stuff i have http://rateyourmusic.com/~fuy, so here i hope to pay more attention to the books i read and to all kinds of nonsense i find fitting to be here.
And just to set a tone, here is a wonderful Wallace Stevens' poem from which i rather straightforward took the blogs' title:

The Snow Man

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,

Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
