Realigning My Focus

Man, so I went back and have been reading older posts from like, April, and going through and adding labels for all the old posts that I didn't do at the time. Well as I scan them over to figure out what to tag it as, I realized that my blog has made a serious turn in the past few weeks. I used to write so good. What happened?

What probably happened is I started thinking the blog was more important to the world than it really is. This is a place to put my thoughts, not necessarily my opinions all the time. Sure, the well placed scathing opinion piece is alright every so often, but I feel like I lost my focus on what's important here. What's important is to paint a picture of how I think and view the world for real. Yes, I admit I listen to and think about music a lot, therefore I like to write about it a lot. But I need to remember why I started ramping up the blog posts in the first place. It was supposed to entertain, not scold or inform. I mean, it can inform sometimes, just not all the time.

So here is my pledge to write more posts like this or this. Less like this and this.

Thanks for reading!

Shower.blogspot?

You know where I come up with my best post ideas? In the shower. You know how many computers I have in my shower to write the brilliant blogs I come up with in there? None. I can't even take notes on what I should write about because they will get wet. Getting wet on note-taking devices is a bad idea, weather it is because it's paper, or because it is some other form of electronic device. So I come up with brilliant ideas for blog posts in the shower, then promptly forget them by the time I sit at a computer. I do everything in my power to remember what I wanted to write about, and I just completely draw a blank when I sit down to write it.

In today's news, the President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski has perished in a tragic plane crash. It's always shocking to hear a leader of a country has died in office, especially one from Europe. If a Middle Eastern President or leader, or whatever, dies, you kind of expect that sort of thing from those people. And even though this is an Eastern European country, Poland is legit, yo. I like Poland. I feel bad for their people now that their leader has died. I'm not sure what kind of leader this man was, but no matter, he was still the president.

Not to poke fun at the dead, since he was living not that long ago, but I am going to take a off-timed shot at trying to figure out the pronunciation of this man's name. His first name must be pronounced as Leach, would you agree? Now, knowing how the Pollocks like to throw a bunch of unnecessary consonants in their words, I would have to assume that the last name is pronounced Ka-zin-ski, like the Unibomber. It was kind of like when the Georgian luger died in the training run before the Olympics. His name was Nodar Kumaritashvil. And we all could tell it was hard to pronounce, and we wanted to be respectful of him in his untimely death. It wasn't until the opening ceremonies, when they were paying him tribute, and the man making the speech said it, that I realized what a name that really is.

By the way, this is totally showing off my awareness of the world around me, when I have no idea who the president of a country is. I am, apparently, an American Pig-Dog, who only cares about USA. USA #1!

So anyway, I'm sorry, Poland, to hear about you're loss. It's a sad day in Europe and around the world, that is for sure.
