Well, as I have been absolutely lax beyond belief at posting, I think I will try again except this time I am planning on delving into the realm of movies. Something my dear old friend Charlie Kinslow and I used to chat about now and again. That man is not only a complete saint but knows a total ton about cinema - old and new.
Today, on the summer solstice of 2012, I find myself watching the ever amazing Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla - with the amazing line "Godzilla put a curse on Japan!". Now, I have no idea why, of the tons of movies I am able to watch at this moment, why this one came to the forefront. While moving through this Roku box, all I could do was smile when this title slid into view.
Earlier, I sat through two residents of the bottom of the movie barrel (depending on which barrel you are looking through) - Marked for Death (with the ever present Sho Kosuge as the Japanese ninja battling the mob) and American Ninja 4 (with martial artist(?) Michael Dudikoff). 'Sayonara' boredom; 'ohayou gozaimasu' fun midsummer night!
I will make a sincere effort to make a post daily with some movie or thought that runs through my head. After trying some new medicine, I will admit to having more energy and motivation to begin this endeavor again. I know one of my flaws is being afraid to put myself out there lest the past creep up on me. All I can say is that the past is behind and tomorrow is ahead. The only thing anyone can do to make recompense for the past is to be the best one can be each new day.
With that - I relax and allow this film to whisk me away to the year 1999 - and watch Godzilla wreck havoc once again. Cheers until next time!

104
I just noticed that I had 104 posts the year I started this blog and only 1 this year! (and only 1 last year)....Wow...talk about letting time get away from you.
Fringe is on at the moment, there is Steel Reserve in the fridge, and a really cute Jack Russell named Gwizdo is just laying here dreaming...
So, allow this snippet to be what it is --- I have a couple more thoughts in the ole noggin this evening.

Seven months
Yes, Ive been gone too long. I have, however, figured out a couple things. First of all, that two or three year period when people move away from everyone to "find themselves" --- well, I used to rain on that parade. Alas, I was mistaken. Time like that is sometimes critical to understanding yourself.
Tonight, its raining - for the first time in a couple weeks. I sit here thinking, reading back over some of the blogs Ive written, that I have said some crazy shit - focused some interesting ideas - blathered on and on about personal nonsense - but that is what blogs are for (at least for those of us not super-interesting).
That's not really the crux of things tho. I am a frightened person. I suppose I have been for a very long time...for as long as I can remember. Fear can drive many engines - including those which are destructive, paralyzing, upsetting, and horrifying. Fear is illogical - as Spock says - but still, I remain frightened.
At some point, soon - I will find a way to move away from this fear and find what I was meant to do.
I have many failings as a person - some blatant, some hidden. At the core - I remain the same person Ive been - a need to feel useful, a need to be indispensable to someone, forgiveness when I fuck up, support when its earned, and for the love of Mary - a little bit of slack. My friendships aren't business/professional arrangements.
Should you want me around, cut me some slack...you know I'd do the same (and most likely have done the same whether you realize it or not) for you.
All that being said -- Bruce and Christy and Philip and Amber - - - - - - Ill be indebted to you for a very long time. I am going to work on the things I need to fix and I know youll be there.
If you happen to be reading this because you follow this blog, Ill try to write more. Its about to be the rainy season again.
I should have been a meteorologist, shouldn't I? I am going to have to fix that...
