Introductions

Hello, everyone. My name is Jeremy Shank, and I am very happy you are at my blog! If you are wondering a little bit about me, I am a transfer student from Belmont University in Nashville, TN and am now an accounting major with a recreation leadership minor at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, AL. I love everything about music and the great outdoors. I am fortunate enough to be at a school where I can enjoy both through my involvement in the musical fraternity Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, and in my involvement with the recreation leadership minor. I hope that through my involvement in these things I can help and show other people ways to enjoy both music and the outdoors.

Now, some of you might be wondering what the title of my blog is all about. The theme of this blog is war stories. And the title of this blog comes from a song about the Vietnam War. The line says, "We left as inmates/ From an asylum," and is from Billy Joel's song "Goodnight Saigon." I could not think of a more fitting song that this because of the powerful meaning behind both the song and that line in particular.
