Jack The Audioblogger

I just stumbled onto one of my old Audioblogging accounts. I had forgotten about it.

Spent a few minutes checking out a few of them and smiled, reminded me how I got into that nonsense before everyone and their mother had a podcast.

Yeah, some of it is unpolished and primitive, but it was kind of fun. It was a novel experience at that time and I probably could have turned into something bigger had I thought about it.

Had I a little vision maybe it would have been huge or maybe I would have bored the hell out of people. Don’t know and am not going to worry about it.

Sometimes I forget just how long I have been messing around with this stuff. Hell, there is stuff from around 2004, though I am not sure it is still accessible.

But it would be fun, got a few where The Shmata Queen performed with me.

The S.Q.’s Walkabout

by Leave a Comment

It appears the lovely S.Q. has been on a walkabout for a while now and I haven’t decided if I wish to call, email, text or send a telegram.

Thought about it a bunch and have done some of those things in the past but I am waiting for something, not sure what.

Maybe a sign that clarifies circumstances, situations, possibilities and opportunities or maybe something else.

They say what is meant for you won’t go past you and I expect to learn the truth of that pretty darn soon.

It Don’t Come Easy

It is never easy watching your kids go through challenging times where you know they have to figure it out themselves.

You can offer support, guidance and someone to speak with but you can’t take on the monsters for them or they’ll never figure out how to slay dragons on their own.

Got one of those situations going on now, but I hadn’t realized how far it had advanced until we had a certain conversation today.

Made for some heartache and pain but also some pride in seeing how much they have grown and how mature their response is.

Afterwards, I was asked what I want to do and I said I could go kick the asses of those responsible for this and I could.

But that would require ignoring my own advice and gut. Can’t slay the dragon for them.

So now I have to sit, watch and wait.

Dammit.

Simple Truths

by Leave a Comment

We can add this post to the list that I need to work upon some more and weave into a larger tale. It contains some simple truths that I don’t think have changed.

Got some deep and serious ideas that I’ll incorporate into this but it won’t happen tonight. Tonight is a message to let you know I haven’t forgotten about this place.

I know I have said it multiple times but it is still true, this is still one of my favorite homes and deserving of more attention but time is limited.

That forces decisions that are harder to make but have to be walked through regardless of difficulty.

The changes of life are upon us again, soon we’ll see their impact.

Ask SQ and she’ll tell you, it is why she has spent more time walking with me.

 

She’ll Read It One Day

Probably need to work on this soon. There is substance here.

Could do it now just in case it is read sooner than later but probably won’t because she’ll read it one day and that is enough for me.

Might be worth taking a breath cuz there might be much to add to it.

Kind of curious to see who chooses to dig into it sooner than later. Kind of curious might even be an understatement.

Probably ought to take some time to spell a few things out for those who aren’t familiar.

Stay tuned.
