I'm currently working on someone's wedding... and as I usually do, I just let my mind float from image to image. Now don't worry, I'm looking at things as I should, light, balance, etc... but my mind just dances from image to image.
What I'm about to type is likely a wrong thing to post... but I'm going to do it anyway. I enjoy the power I have as a photo-tag. Now it's not power in the muhahah I will end you kinda way... but it's power in stopping time.
I'm not afraid to die, I never will be, I'm afraid of not being alive. I don't have time to do what I want, to learn what I need to and/or want to, nor to meet enough, see enough, be enough. Through my work and my music I can allow time to be stopped, that moment where you looked into your now husband's eyes, that wave of emotion, I just caught that. That's what I want to do... for me.
What you just read is 100% correct... it's what I want to do for me. I want to play music, I want to show you pain, I want you to hear bliss, I want to invite you away from life for a while... In the end we all seem to want to "get away"... we drink, we complain, we vacation, we sleep in... but really what do we want?
To be a part of something bigger.. and in the end, the irony of it all, is we just may be and not know it...
Turn it up... I promise it will be worth listening to....

PS: Yes that was ADD, and that's how my mind works.. scarey eh?

Here's the scoop
So I have forever typed from what I thought... which is ADD at best and a spider tripping on acid at worst but here's another entry into the fray.
I have been on the road the last couple of weeks. To say "on the road" is conservative... not tea-party hate brown people conservative, just not as extreme as that last statement... So my writing has suffered.
I fully realize why I put this blog together, and now I fully realize what I want to do with it. I want people to be entertained by my drivel. This will be short, but this is what I mean.
I have said that if I wanted to be like any race car driver, I would be like my pops, AJ Foyt (anything any time the guy would win), or like Gary B. Took what he had and made it work. As a musician... Warren Haynes, or Frederic Yonnet... Warren because of his humble skill and the ability to move people, Yonnet because he is the best at what I "think" I can do. Finally, I get to the point... I want to write like David Sedaris. Yes.. The "this American Life" guy. Which brings me to this blog.
I WILL be political here... as I will be opinionated. More than that, I want this place to be a sounding board of thought. I may, if I'm brave enough, start writing narritives about society. Then again, I may realize that is far to deep for a guy that finds joy in holding his wife, organic plants and playing the blues. Regardless of my thoughts... I need to write more, and this WAS after all the purpose of THIS blog.
What I'm saying is, I guess, that I want to write, I want you to read.. and I would like feedback in all of this. I guess that's Blogging eh?
Keep the shiny side up folks.

WTF
As I sit today in front of the keyboard, I have cubic shit-tons of things running through my head. The primary stuff I cannot write about, which I need to write about, but can't. So your getting this random smatter about politics and the life.
It's amazing to me, in this day in age, that people can still be manipulated to believe a certain way based on things that are purely not fact. Moreover, I'm scared of that. Scared, shit... downright panic stricken.
I believe in America, well at least I used to. Growing up in an environ that saw me as a minority, I never thought differently of people. There are good and bad amongst all of us, no matter the race color or creed. To me, we are all on the journey, and to the betterment of my life that I understand those around me that are in the game as well.
Recently, I have been brought to ponder why the actions that one can observe are taking place. Government is at a stand-still, anything the current president does is ripped to shreds, even when he flat out purposes plans that the minority suggested in the first place. I will site a couple of quick examples here but I'm in no mood to go in depth about stuff. I'm more just blathering for those that want to read something besides what they should be reading. (psst.. thanks for reading) (pppppssssttt this will be a quick one promise)
1) Guy bitches about the US, flys a plane into a government building in an attempt to kill people as a statement against out country. Remember 9-11? Same thing... Only this guy is a hero. The right has hoisted him up as a savior rallying against Obama and his Tax America Policy. Oh yeah... He was White.
2) The Tea Party. Seriously people? Where were the rally's when good ol Dubya was waging a war based on lies? THOSE were your "tax dollars" as well. See point 1, but again we pointed out, along with the majority of the world, that Iraq had nothing to do with it... but thanks to Fox News, to this day 37% of the people still feel Saddam was behind 9-11.. Including Sarah Palin who was NEARLY THE VP? All of this talk about how bad Obama is on Spending, and the Health Care mess, all against their own self interest... and even questioning if he was born in the USA. No one seems to care that McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Oh yeah... He's White Too...
3) Sarah Palin... Really?!? My only statement on this situation is that you call for Rahm to be fired for using the word "Retard" in a private meeting... But when Rush uses it... and directly refers to those that are disabled, it's Satire. Wait... Oh Yeah. He's White. Wait.. So is Rahm.. But he does have a non-American sounding name. Guilt by association with Obama?
Here's the closing of my rant. I voted for Obama, not because he was anything BUT the best person to do the job. I didn't drink the kool-aide.... I knew going in he was a centrist. I also am not looking to stir the pot of racial tensions... well perhaps I am. This country still has a major problem with Race. I suppose I would just be happier if the bastards that have an issue with it would just out and say it. At least then we would know why you stand where you stand, and why you are willing to destroy this nation with division by stoking irrational fear, rather than believe in the principles the country was founded on and hope for a better tomorrow. All I'm asking is for is you to say up front... Hi, I'm Glen Beck, and I'm this way because I cannot stand the fact that we are being led by a Black Man. Say it Sarah... you know it's what your thinking, your actions are clear. Do us all a favor Fox, just run on your little bottom line what you get behind closed doors... Ruin this great man, or we might have to deal with a Chicano next.
Til next time....
