I wonder how many posts on blogs that have been semi-abandoned over the years come back with a “Hey, sorry, I’ve been missing, now I’m back, and I’ll try to do better to keep up” and then have about 3 weeks worth of posts and then go dark again?
Probably quite a few.
I’m not sure what my goal with this blog was it first started. Maybe just to exercise some writing chops and experiment with the format a little bit. Social media platforms come and go, Tik-Tok is now uber popular and maybe the writing format is taken a back seat?
Considering literacy rates, this isn’t too surprising.
I digress. Here’s what’s happened in my world since this last post, which was consequently right before COVID changed this generation’s world forever.
I saw COVID coming. Prepared accordingly.
Put up with a BUNCH of nonsense re: COVID at my day job.
Picked up a case of depression during COVID – what’s the point.
Crazy summer of 2020 protests and burning down things – people being ashamed of history.
Had a contested election – more depressed about how it was all handled.
History made with a January 6th protest that went horribly wrong.
2021 seemed like a lost year – things getting more political by the minute.
No live music shows in all this time.
Got COVID at my first live music show in Fall 2021 – it sucked for about 2 weeks.
Building a music/tech startup.
Learning a ton about blockchain.
Got good at an online poker game organized by music industry people.
I think that’s it for now – not sure I’ll be back or when – not going to make any promises. I have to see that I’m going to do with this blog. perhaps help build community around the new business tech startup. we’ll see.
But for now, enjoy Memorial Day Weekend and give thanks to the fallen men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.
