Are You Irish?

On the Personal Side of Things

I apologize to have been away for quite awhile. Like most ordinary working class human beings I have family business to take care. Apart from that I have been busy with my job and having a social life. Which  should have been done moderately because I have an obligation to you.  I like updating this site. It gives me a sense of balance. When it is about this, it is always about music. Not what I feel and not what I expect people to give me.

Often times we find ourselves feeling neglected. Especially when we are no longer the center of attention. This can be a sad experience. That is always the case when you are fond of someone. That person becomes the center of your universe. Suddenly nothing matters.

I don’t usually put personal stuff here because this is about music. Sorry about that but I feel like I have to say this. I had a falling out with a friend a couple of months ago. Neither of us are still speaking to one another. At some point I felt I was abandoned.  Then I realize I have to take it as a blessing. I no longer get phone calls late at night where the conversation centers around this person’s relationship and family life. I no longer had to sacrifice a little bit of time in my part just to listen to concerns when I am supposed to hurry up to do something. For the fist time I feel that I am talking about myself. This is a good feeling. Why should I feel bad losing someone like that? It is the feeling of freedom I shall never trade for a moment’s bliss. When you care about someone  you are giving that person access to your soul. Make sure it is worth it.

For Wrestling Fanatics..

I am not a wrestling fan. But there’s this guy in facebook who asked me if I am Irish. he noticed all my posts. I said “Nope but it’s like asking me why I love RnB when I am not African American”.
