In The Beginning

In the beginning, there was, well, there was all the stuff we have today, everything was just much closer together. Then some stuff happened and God or ‘The Great Something’ exclaimed “Let stuff be awesome” and then the Central Office of Kabbalic Installation & Earthly Deployment Administration Divisionary Association Department of Organizations Dependent On Omnipotence (C.O.O.K.I.E. D.A.D.A. D.O.O.D.O.O.) got to work on planets and whatever creatures could be compiled at the time with very few or no errors and BAM!

Or ZIP! or POW!, I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But basically, you fast forward that timeline a few weeks and here we are, when at any given there are hundreds of thousand of people toiling away furiously, groping thesaurus.com for ammo on their newest blog entry. Imagine explaining that to people that lived in a time of very limited communication – smoke signals, beacons, lean and speedy messengers running through fields, screaming the news: “Der König! Der König! Er ist tot! Ich muss wirklich gehen schlechtes des pee-pee!”

Yes, the 1980′s was tough for us all, but we made it. They’d have violated me with a bronzed flogging-iron, stoned me to death with stones made of stone, have me drawn-and-quartered, then recount the adventure later, gesticulating merrily all the while, like assholes.

In contrast, this blog will likely recount the events of the past 2.75 decades from my direct observation and perspective, as well as vast, different vas-deferens of commentary on time periods in which I was not physically present. There will likely be a focus on music composition, visual art, and my receding hair-line.
