I know some of you may be a bit perplexed about where I've been and what I've been doing. Weeks go by between blog posts and when I do blog, it may be about something tiny and insignificant, only to have me disappear on you again. The following key items have happened and I have not blogged about them:
- Mr. Wizard died.
- Michael Moore is releasing another documentary on the American health care system, called "SiCKO".
- Kenny's Key West closed its doors.
- Kenny plans to open another club in Orleans Parish, out of reach of the darkie-hating Sheriff of Jefferson Parish.
- I have been stockpiling to start my own mobile DJ'ing enterprise.
- I am in the process of looking at purchasing a new vehicle.
- I've gotten back to reading books.
- My poetic pimp hand has been coming down, but I've been leaving you all out.
- Nearly everything and everyone in my life has come under re-evaluation.
Now, I know that the Brandon you know would have RUN to the blog to write all this down, and your mind is watering to think about what I would have written about these things. Oh, believe me, I've left work many aday with the thought "this would make a killer blog", but for some reason, I don't do it. A lot of people throw the word "busy" at me. My phone is ringing We Are One right now, but I'm tied into writing this blog. It's almost as if I owe you all this much.
With everything that has gone down, there have been times when I think that this blog should go down, too. Sometimes, I think "why have a blog if you're not going to put anything into it". I often look upon what my last blog will be when the eventual day comes when I will indeed stop posting here. Larry King once said "Nothing lasts forever," and it's true. Of course, he's not the only person to say this, but everytime I think of that phrase, his huge head pops into my head, uttering that phrase to Ray Romano.
It makes ME wonder myself sometimes. Why the hell should I continue to do this? Ugh, I wanna pitch this phone across the room. I wonder what my life would be like if I just didn't use it for a week. I forgot what I was about to say.... Hmmmm, oh yea. I sometimes feel an obligation to blog, even though my situation now is NOTHING like it was when I started the blog. I have nowhere near the amount of free time I used to, and let's face it: there's certain stuff that I just can't blog about. I'm aware of my primary audience demographic, and I am sympathetic to that audience.
My audience is why I keep this blog open. I enjoy the conversations they spark and being a voice of difference and intelligence. Sure, I go off the deep end from time to time, but I think that's part of the fun. Sure, I have no hair, but even IT has to come down sometime. I'm here listening to "Walking in the Rain With the One I Love", and it's just doing something to me. Listening to the plucked piano patterns and knowing the beat I'm gonna make out of it (Look What I Made For You, Too) and how calming it's making me feel. Thinking of you who will read this and smiling inside. Thank you readers for bringing me here to you. I hope will continue to enjoy where this blog goes.
