Hello word world. I let the bad guys win. Most assuredly, I was on my way to all the fame and riches that most certainly befall an accomished blogger when my laptop was pilfered during the infamous "west county mall heist" of 2012. Yes, I was a victim of the mean streets of the south suburbs of St.louis and allowed my path to greatness to be curtailed by the actions of these most daring of crooks. Oh, if only there were some way of using for lost wages. Or....maybe they saved me from myself? Fast forward to this early summer of 2014 and I have taken to typing on an iPhone? Technology may be a bitch, but she's a good bitch. Quite simply, I have words that need to be released. My brain has been like the proverbial tea kettle that's screaming and spewing. Who wants some tea, damnit?! There's just too much that is demanding to be written about. I have often wondered about what will happen when all the ideas and all new inspiration vanishes. I don't think that it's possible. Every day on this rock of a planet brings some fresh perspective. Some crazy thing that if you saw or heard it yesterday, it would have blown your mind. But today? Been there, done that.
A head and some change later, and I vow a few changes. One big one is that I wish to write with no strings. No fear of the prim and proper. I no longer care to appease those that need appeasing. The gloves, which to be honest are just too cumbersome, must come off. My goal is to be a fresh voice in an ocean of the same. I don't want to be different just to be different. I want to be different when my head and heart are screaming with me to be different. I'm sick of the routine. I'm beyond appalled at the sheep like existence that way too many of us wake up and discover we've fallen into. And, if my mother should happen by.... Mom, I'm going to curse. Yes, it's necessary. Fuck yes.
