Remaining “Cool” And “Focused” During Crazy Times???
Are You Kidding?
ME??
Do THAT???
Riiiiiiiiiiight.
I Will Say “I’m Trying” And I Sincerely Hope That’s Good Enough.
I’m Trying Really Hard, Honestly.
Things Have Been Happening Like Rapid-Fire, And I’m Really Just Trying To Take Everything In Stride WITHOUT Losing Siad “Cool” Or Said “Focus“…
…It’s Just Really REALLY HARD.
Period.
THE SPARK In My Life Does Build Me Up.
But, THE SPARK Also Keeps Me Grounded.
Reminding Me Over And Over That “Keeping My Cool” And “Maintaining My Focus” Are Totally Essential.
Especially Now, While Things Are So Crazy In My Little World.
Sheesh.
How Do YOU Do It, My Peeps???
How Do YOU Stay “Cool” And “Focused”???
Do YOU Have A Routine???
What Is It YOU Do???
Is There Some Trick I’m Missing???
Sheesh, Again.
Lemme Know, Though.
I’m Very Curious, To Say The Least.
I’d Like To Know.

Multipurpose-Post: The State Of My Union, Part I
Good Morning, My Peeps.
How’s Things?
All Swell In Your Worlds?
Honestly, Things Have Been A Bit Odd Of Late Within My Own.
I’ve Been Going Through A Bout Of Some Pretty Extreme Personal-Depression That Has Been Sapping And Corking My Creative Juices. It Happens To Us All At Some Point, Or At Least Happens To Those Of Us Intelligent Enough To Understand Our Own Situations.
My Life Situation Just Plainly Sucks.
Period.
I’m Trying To Take The High-Road. I’m Trying To Keep My Head Above The Water I Seem To Endlessly Be Treading. I’m Trying To Carry-On In The Only Way I Know How.
I Just Haven’t Felt Like Writing.
Not. At. All.
As I Said To Someone Earlier…
“…I pick-up my pen, I put it to the paper, but nothing comes out. I’ve just been so caught-up in personal emotional BS that everything else has taken a back seat, so to speak. I know I’ll find my voice again… …it’s just not at this moment.”
And Then It Happened, My Peeps.
I Awoke This Morning, And The First Thing I Wanted To Do Was Sit Down And Start Writing.
So, Here I Am. Writing To Y’all, Hoping Things Come-Out Right.
I Truly Have A Ton To Say, Yet Know I Can’t Say Most Of It.
Not Yet, Anyway.
Why?
Because, I Don’t Rightly Know How Some Things Are Going To Play-Out.
It’s Hard To Write About Something When All The Facts Aren’t In.
I Just Know I’m Unhappy.
Honestly, Truly Unhappy.
Not In Every Aspect Of My Life, But In Enough Of Them To Cause All Of This Mental/Emotional BS.
Life Continues To Throw Me Curveball After Curveball, And I’m Really Starting To Get Sick Of It.
Sadly, There’s Nothing I Can Do About That Other Than Continue To Take It All.
But, Changes Are Coming.
Things Are Happening.
While My Personal-Opinion Of Myself May Not Be Very High At The Moment, I’m Starting To Figure My Shit Out.
I’m On The Verge Of A Major Break-Out, Or So It Feels.
While Some Might Crack Under So Much Personal Pressure, I’m Fighting Back.
I’m Fighting Back Hard, My Peeps.
Life Is Giving Me Both Barrels, And I’m Doing Everything I Can To Give ‘Em Right Back.
What Else Can I/Could I Do, My Peeps?!
I’m Not Going To Lay Down And Die.
I’m Not Going To Let The World Rape Me, And Take Away What Little I Do Have.
I’m Not Going To Stop Fighting My Fight.
Period.
I Just Don’t Want Y’all To Worry About Me.
I Don’t Want Y’all To Waste Your Time And Energy On Something So Frivolous.
I’ll Get It All Worked-Out.
It’s Just Going To Take Some Time.
Lucky For Me, I Have All The Time In The World.
So, We Shall See How This All Pans-Out.
If You Wanna Cross Your Fingers For Me (you know, for good luck and such) Then You’re More Than Welcome To Do So.
Down, But Not Out.
That’s Me.
… … …
…
The Other Purpose Of This Little Posting Is To Celebrate Something Very VERY Special.
I Just Reached Another Personal Milestone With This Little Blog.
Which Milestone Is That, You Ask?!?
1,000 FOLLOWERS!!!
That’s What!!!
Put THAT In Your Collective Pipe And Smoke It, My Peeps!!!
BAAM!!!
1,000 FOLLOWERS!!!
Seeing That Made Me Smile Like Nobody’s Business, Fo SHO!
I Always Kinda Figured I’d Make It To This Stage, Or At Least Did At One Point.
Then I Started Sloughing-Off.
Once That Happened, I Wasn’t Sure I’d Ever Make Here.
But YOU, My Peeps, YOU Kept Coming Back.
New People Kept Showing Up.
The Blog Perpetuated.
We’re Over 1,000 Strong, Now, Kiddies.
Isn’t That Just F-in’ A-MA-ZING?!?!
Good.
I Totally Agree.
I’m Going To Leave You With The Song Of My Morning.
I Don’t Rightly Know How Relevant It Is To My Before Mentioned Topics, But It’s The Song I’m Addicted To, Today.
Ever Heard This One?
“YOU GOT IT“
by ROY ORBISON
???
Great!!!
I Knew A Lot Of You Would Know It, And I Was Banking The Bulk Of You Would Enjoy It.
It’s One Of ROY ORBISON‘s More Peppy, Upbeat Numbers.
I Know, Most Of You Have Only Heard Me Play His Slower, Slightly More Depressing Tunes…
…But NOT Today.
I Do Sincerely Hope You Enjoy It, Kiddies.
And THANK YOU.
THANK YOU For Continuing To Support Me…
…To Support This Blog…
…To Give Me An Outlet Where I Can Honestly Get Something Back.
I Derive So Much Pleasure From Talking To Y’all, Reading Your Work, Exchanging Comments, Ideas, Etc Etc.
Honestly, I Love It.
Fo F-in’ SHO, My Peeps.
It’s FRIDAY, Kiddies.
The Weekend Is Upon Us.
Let Us All Try To Make It A Good One.
I’m Going To Do My Very Best, And Trust Y’all Will Be Doing The Very Same.
Take Care, My Peeps.
Try To Be Good.
See Me Soon, And Talk To Me Sooner.
