He worked the Delta cotton fields,
Day in and day out,
Nobody had a clue who he was back then
But his life would turn around
He moved up to Chicago, still then just a kid
& helped to shape that bluesy West Side sound
With the strings that he could bend

I have begun some character profiles for future writing projects and I am excited to be working on them.
Whether they wind up in short stories, poetry,or an entire movie script, that's part of the adventure for me.
The myth making, the world building, it's all a thrill.
I am a student of music, and there is a direct through line from Albert King to Jimi Hendrix.
A lot of people think Hendrix was the great innovator. He WAS brilliant, and I mean no disrespect, but they have the lineage all wrong.
I would argue that without Albert King, there would never have been Jimi Hendrix as the world came to know him.
So, credit where it's due.
Just outside of Carson City,
As the sunrise broke on through,
Jordan was glad to be there,
and Judy,she was too
They held on to each other
Caught up in each other's smiles
It didn't take them long to forget all the former miles,
All they knew, and all that mattered, is that their Love was true

He's been slinking round the Hollywood hills
With backslid friends, making backroom deals
He went from selling glitz and glamour
to brutal, bitter pills
All those 100 dollar bills won't change a thing
They can't bring back his innocence,
and it's a shame, for too long he's treated life like a foolish game
When he reaps what he's sown, he's got only himself to blame

Some so called therapists don't want to actually help you find solutions to what's going on with you.
Some want to keep you coming back, rehashing the same things ad nauseum, so they can keep profiting off your unresolved issues.
If this is a news flash to you, I'm sorry, but it needed to be stated openly and honestly.
If you're going to a therapist, make sure it's one that actually wants to help you reach a healthy mental state and move FORWARD with your life.
Rather than one who will keep you in a perpetual loop of toxicity for their own benefit.
Cheers.
James has got something,
that can't be bought or sold,
It's more precious than all
a "rich" man's gold,
It's a depth of wit and wandering
and Americana soul
I could hang out with him,
yeah I could spend all day,
Listening to his stories
Until we watch that big sun fade

It's been an interesting morning. I've listened to a podcast about James McMurtry, the Americana songwriter and son of late novelist Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove) and I have also been watching a couple movies.
I know I mentioned my intention of going to a thrift shop, but that'll be later this morning, probably after ten.
I'm waiting to see if I catch a couple friends online this morning, the rest of what I've done so far is to occupy my time while I wait.
The family is still sleeping right now.
Dear Todd, I miss you man, it's sad that you are gone
You gave the music world a royal run for their money, short lived as it was
It's also beautiful that you left behind enough to base a movie on
You'll live in every frame, but life still won't be the same
Thank you for the lyrics and the laughs along the way

Good morning ,Dear Ones.
I'm actually planning to get out of the apartment today and going to a thrift shop. I already have a couple things in mind for when I'm there.
Planning on getting a couple new dress pants for me, and some school clothes for my son. We'll also see what else we can see.
Maybe can get my wife a few new dresses, if we find any she likes. Other than that, it'll probably be a pretty easy going day here.
Might share some new poetry,art,etc on my various blogs. I had debated whether to stay here, but on the good days this is a great venue, so decided the answer is yes.
Doing better than I was this morning, to whom it may concern♥️. Thankfully I didn't end up having to go to the Dr. after all.
Dear Ones,
I have much more I could share, but presently I am in a level of pain I didn't know was even possible. I have always had a high tolerance but it's bad enough that it's overwhelming my usual defenses.
I might actually consider going in for an evaluation if it's not better soon. Just because BSTS, you know.
I'll let you all know when there's an update on the pain either way, for better or worse.
She ain't into diamonds,
she ain't into furs
Just wants one strong heart,
that's as true as hers
She wants a man, that when he says "I do"
His word is iron, and he means every promise he brings, no games,
She can trust him with everything
She wants a man with the heart of a noble king,
That she can forever hold on to

These days if someone doesn't have an online presence people think it's weird, maybe even suspicious.
Being plugged in 24/7 though can cause its own kind of burnout.
We live in a culture now where taking a vacation can mean just unplugging for a month and disappearing into analog life 🤣
It's nice sometimes to pretend it's still 1995,
Before tech giants and the Internet took over so many lives.
They're living their own offbeat brand
of the American dream,
out of a motel room
with an old coke machine,
Wild and reckless as they tend to be
After a hard day's night,
they're each other's best company
They've known each other for ages it seems
They drive each other crazy but they Love fiercely
By: J.N.R Dutton
Debating whether to stay here, this platform for me has been a bit meh these last few days. I mean I enjoy my art and my writing and all, but the silence is deafening lately.
What's a man gotta do to get a little interaction around here??
Dean's gotta little bit of
pool hall swagger
Side hustling nights
just to make an extra dollar
His day job, well it's blue collar
Pays the rent, and it keeps him fed,
For another week, a roof over his head
He don't sleep much, but he's fine with that
Says he'll sleep when he's dead, and then he laughs
