    <description><![CDATA[Hey guys it's me, Ethan. Just want to share a bit of my life with you. I write songs. I write songs that are easy to play, probably because my skills on the guitar are not that of John Mayer or Pat Metheny. But, I consider them easy to the ears. Ok enough of that...

Basically, I bought my first guitar, a Takamine, for a grand total of $275 CASH MONEY when I was in 8th grade. Oh you better believe that I could throw down some G C D C, oh snap Em, chords. Yeah, I played "Brown Eyed Girl." But I really didn't start practicing guitar until my 10th grade year. Then I got a little better. By junior year I played a little more consistently and got a little better, and throughout my senior year and first semester in college I continued to progress.

I really wanted to write songs. Though I had written several "love songs" for random girls and some funny life songs, I consider "Big Blue Eyes" the first song I ever wrote. It's about my (2 at the time) 3-yr-old cousin Mary Anna. So that was it. That kick started song writing for me. I continued to write songs about family, friends, and life. Then I threw in some worship. 

I want people to hear my music and be able to relate the words to their life. If people don't really like my music, that's ok. I will still write and try to record some stuff. The truth is, as a wise fellow window washer told me, "If you like your songs, that's all that matters." So, I do realize that my music is not award winning material, but I like it.

I hope you do.]]></description>

      <title>This is Ridiculous</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/ethanmontesinos/posts/text/797278</link>
      <description><![CDATA[i just learned how to put music on here... just so happens that two out of three songs that i have recorded are simply demos, so they are terrible!!! please dont think im awful and give up on my quite yet!!! when i actually record they will be way better. i simply used a guitar, my voice, and a computer... not mics and sweet software haha.

so all in all, thanks for listening... but this is only a preview (and a really bad one) of sounds to come. 

Grace and Peace,
Ethan M.]]></description>

      <title>Andrew</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/ethanmontesinos/posts/text/794157</link>
      <description><![CDATA[There is a Book. In this Book, there is a dude named Andrew. He had a brother named Peter. Peter was always walking around doing literally miraculous things, such as healing the sick and bringing light into people's dark lives (sometimes with crowds up to 3000 people). Peter was in the forground. Everyone saw him, everyone knew his comings and goings.

Andrew was quiet. We did not learn a whole lot from the Book about Andrew, but can pick up on a few things. He liked to take Peter's way of meeting and interacting with people and twist it into his own, original style. 

Peter talked to thousands.
Andrew talked to a few. Maybe one at a time.

But this interpersonal communication that Andrew embarked on led lives to Truth. He shared with people about Truth, and about Love, and about the Giver and Provider. And he did all this quietly, not making his name known.

So I'm wondering: How am I like Andrew?

Oh, and today was beautiful. The hot summer air was suffocating, but the wind blew and smiles were abundant. Today, life was lived. 

Grace and Peace,
Ethan.]]></description>
