So, I haven't posted anything on here for a few months. A LOT has changed and I'm in a much better place because of it. I took a big, stupid risk and it paid off, thank God. I'm probably the only person who can do something so incredibly risky and come out alive&kicking.
I've got a job, searching for a better one, and I've been writing a whole heckuva lot. I'm actually really proud of what I've been writing, for once in my life. I guess that's why I haven't been posting any blogs, I have a new writing outlet that's more private and will eventually become public once it's copyrighted.
Well, Memphis has lost a few more musicians since the untimely death of the legendary Jim Dickinson(whom I still miss a lot, I'll always miss him). Willie Mitchell passed at the beginning of the year and then a couple weeks later we lost an up and coming youngster, Jay Reatard. The latter was really making a name for himself and then we just lose him. His death really scared me senseless and made me think, "Who's next? Will it be someone that I consider to be like a brother to me?" Most recently, the leader of Big Star, Alex Chilton passed away. This really hit home for me too, Big Star had recently become a sort of soundtrack to my life and to lose someone when you've just started discovering them is really sad. Memphis has lost entirely too much in the past 9 months.
Well, I'm done. My mom is bugging me to finish, so maybe I'll post more later.
