Tunnel Vision
This is my first post in over a year.
Time flies when you have a full-time job. I returned to the workforce in July of 2023. My last post was in August of 2023, during a needed vacation to the east coast. That was also the trip where someone tried to break into our AirBnB rental while we were inside. Since then, it’s been mostly work. That is, until last month, when my employer announced mass layoffs, and my job became collateral damage among all the others losing their job unceremoniously. Now I’m back in “funemployment” mode, figuring out what I want to do next. It’s ironic, since I’ve been blogging for the past several years about wanting to return to full-time employment. Being a working stiff / salaryman / corporate drone really drains you, I guess. Sure, the 401K, healthcare, and other benefits are nice, but creatively, at the end of the day, you just want to crack open a beer, watch whatever’s on Hulu, or just mindlessly scroll Facebook until it’s bedtime, and then you repeat it again the next day.

This Kodak Black video is, well, terrifying, given what’s happening in U.S. politics these days. Nuff said. If you’re like me, you might be putting things on hold until after the November election to make sure society doesn’t devolve into civil war. It’s like we all have some kind of…

On a brighter note, my new project is going to be a music-focused one. Pick three songs that mean something to you as a group, and then tell a gathered audience why those three songs are meaningful. Think of it as the Moth, or an open mic for music videos. I’m hoping to formally announce it soon. The working title is:
THREESOME
No, not that kind of threesome. As part of that, I’m also crowd-sourcing new material via voicemail. Anyone can call and leave me a message at 312-748-8260 x800. Say whatever’s on your mind, and I may write about it in a future post.
