At the moment I am too tired to think of a creative title to this, my second blog entry, let alone come up with pithy witticisms for even a paragraphs' worth of words. I've spent the past nine hours working on creating a website (with the generous and enlightened help of Johnny Asia who is building and designing and basically walking me inch by inch through this whole, arduous process), and being that this is territory about as alien from my abstractly-funded brain function as it can be, I am currently limp in the noodle. (That seems a sadly appropriate visual.)
I did have fun, and I did learn a great deal. However, it is painfully obvious that the construction and contents and operational skills of the brain at fifty-four years of age have quite naturally declined in both their ability to confidently grasp new concepts as well as the skills required to carry out these new mandates.
Succinctly put, I am too friggin' old for this and my head hurts.....
I have spent the day uploading to download to scan-in an opt-out and image transfer to blogspot and bookmark to cut and paste and edit to delete. And for what? So that I can webhost to e-commerce to out-shine and reign-in to rise above and make my mark to ......you get the picture.
But there is something to this whole idea of keeping yourself current and remembering that because you ARE still here after all this time and because you HAVE made it through relatively sane and in spite of the fact that the odds are decidedly against launching an old dog into a new kennel, you STILL want to be HEARD and contribute something VIABLE.
I guess I'm not as tired as I thought.
Oh, and Todd Rundgren, who has had my musical heart and ridiculous power over my imagination since 1970, added me to his Facebook friends list tonight! Of course, I was probably accepted by a computer-generated program, but I choose to believe it was Todd himself who saw my profile and decided he absolutely could not go one minute more without me in his life and immediately added me to the other 2,785 of his closest facebook friends. I'm feeling pretty darn awesome right now. I think I'll make a malted and a notation in my diary encircled with little heart-shaped bubbles and go to bed. Oh yeah.....!
