Too Much Crackin

I've been told by a few (and I do mean few) of my loyal blog readers that they want more issues. They want to see more of my writing and less of the bubble gum entertainment bullshit. Well, I can't help it. I've been caught up in this web of infotainment that defies reason. There is absolutely no reason for me or any other average citizen to go day to day waiting for the rich and famous to fuck up, but for some strange reason, it's kinda fun. Anyway, I will try to attack more relevant issues. There are a lot of things going on right now in the world and although I like to keep my communication on a lighter note, sometimes there is a time for alarm.

But fortunately, that time isn't today. Today was a great day for me. A tremendous day. Actually this year has been tremendous. When I find myself slipping back into the perilous digression of self loathing, I open my eyes and realize that my life isn't half bad anymore. I mean, its actually something that I don't dread waking up to anymore. For the majority of my 20's I have had that feeling of, "hell, another day." Even when the days were potentially good. i.e.. Not having to worry about my weight, or not worrying about day to day issues like what is my reason for existence. I actually have a reason to wake up each day because I am constantly filling my schedule up with obligations. Obligations that actually mean something to someone besides myself. Thank god for the strength I've been blessed with because with each day I actually get a new reason to keep going and have my head held high while doing it.

Which brings me to my reason for such a joyous entry. I am typing on my brand new MacBook. That's not the good part though. The subject of my interview was getting a haircut and all of his hairs dropped into my keyboard. Oh my god! (I'll never wash this keyboard again)

I was blessed with the opportunity to interview my favorite artist today for my very first cover story. The issue will drop in November and it will be dedicated entirely to the west coast. So all I can do now is definitely get what I've gotta get done. Be checking for the issue. Smoochez
