Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?
Unfortunately, I like to dwell on the past. By the time I come to my senses, it’s too late. Especially when it comes to dating. It’ll be so close to getting to that next level. All of a sudden, I’ll fumble the ball in the end zone. 10 out of 10 It’ll be my own doing from just dwelling on the past. I can only think about failed relations. Dwelling can also,fortunately, conquer good opportunities, from gigs, side hustles, and even dishing out good advice. I tend to stay on the right now instead of the future. I like to keep my finger on the pulse, but I have no problem getting hip to whatever is poppin, whether I disagree or not.
My life without music? My first thought would be I’d go insane but that would be a disrespect for the people with no hearing at all. They’re still moving through life with no sound, but they rely on their enhanced senses, like Daredevil, to motivate their minds to carry on. Me, on the other hand, I need that sound, that beat of the drum, that pulse from a baseline.If I had a life without music I would have to rely on the sounds of mother nature. The sweet harmonies of the birds, whistleling of the wind, the pitter patter of the rain drops. I can even detect the sound of the Sunrays. You listen carefully. You CAN detect that sound. But this planet wasn’t created for the purpose of life without sound. Sound WAS created from mother nature and the elements of the human struggle. I listen to so much music that if born in the early stages of this planet, I’d create something musically. My ancestors in Africa, who then was kidnapped and brought here to the states, created a sound. Be it African rhythms or Blues, Jazz, Rock, and soul, all inspired from mother nature or life experiences. Be it from animals or the elements of the earth, the struggles of human life. The pain from life as an African-American slave in the Pamper wearing era of the United States. Psychologically, and physically different gengoras of music was formed. I would probably be a dope painter like a Bob Ross. With no sound to distract me, my art game would be a knockout. I would add another imagination about my pen game, but thinking about it now, I would need to here a soundtrack to inspire me to write that interesting line. ( I still have a very, very long way to go regarding the pen game) But life without music wouldn’t be the end of my world, I would just have to find other avenues to make life interesting, everyone is not built that way though, like the old saying goes ” Music Calmes The Savage Beast”
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.
Every family has that special member that goes hard in the paint when it comes to cooking. My auntie Lee was that. My first epic bake was Peach Cobbler. Because of auntie, it was a baking success the first time. The second time was an epic failure. I was feeling myself and didn’t seek aunties counseling. That was over 10 years ago. Now I can bake apple pies, blueberry cobbler, and even a coconut cake. all thanks to Auntie Lee. ” The Stove Queen”
Temporarily, I dwell in a room. not fun (SMH). I’d wax poetically about the not fun situation I’m in, but I won’t. I touched on that a while back (feel free to scan through that post). So, this post should be real short. My next home will be another apartment. I don’t see myself owning a house in Long Island. It will be simple but accommodating. Plenty of food and beverages in the refrigerator. Internet-based. I’d need Plenty of storage space. Sorry, folks. I hoard. It will be CLEAN! I’ll have some off days, but it will be CLEAN! And smell good… Covid is trying to rear its head back in so my pad will be germ free. Besides some wall art that will be candy to the eyes, my apartment will be decorated with a healthy record collection display. So that’s all I can think of regarding an ideal home. It’ll be cool if I can do a Hemingway and do a GRAND thesis about an ideal home, but this is what you get…
I’m a Newbie to this.. But now that I’m a half century old, I blog to document and share any thoughts, debates, and trends that I feel that’s worth expressing about. It could be a weird dream or a Seinfeld moment. I’ll blog about it.
