Today I discovered – re-discovered, actually – the most wonderful blog on the internet. I actually stumbled across it about a year ago or so, but at the time I did not really realize what it was that I had found. And then today, somewhat out of boredom, I re-visited this site and took the time to really read it. Wow!
It is extinct now – the owner no longer seems to be blogging -- but that doesn’t really matter. There is plenty of back-log to keep me occupied for quite some time. The blog is so rich, that I can only read a little in one sitting.
Reading the blog has been a humbling experience. Even as I type my reaction to it here on my own blog, I find my thoughts disjointed – and pretty feeble. I seem to be unable to put together a coherent, logical, progressive reaction. But then, maybe I should not even try. Maybe everything I have ever tried to do has been too logical, too measured, too calculated. Every song I have ever written has been too planned, too structured and far, far too restrained.
There is a good deal of personal irony in reading this blog. I am going to be very cryptic and evasive here – I am going to try to be as clear as I can be without being really clear at all. How can I put this? I had once written a song about another experience similar to my discovery today in which I expressed a particular sentiment. It turns out that sentiment, that hope, that desire, was far truer than I could have known. And, I now wish it had not been so.
Oh well … what can I say? I need to do something different. I am going to start by spending some time with a really, really cool blog.
(Oh, and just in case you were wondering -- No, I am not going to tell you where it is or how to find it or any such thing. I'm just not sure how the author would feel about that. Sorry.)
