Well this is it... My 1st blog, here that is. Technically my first ever blog entry was on MySpace in January of 08' a month after watching the Johnston, Iowa "Democratic" debate. It was a huge debate for the Dems... I remember because I pissed off how they dick'd around Dennis Kucinich & Mike Gravel by not letting them join the debate. Mike Gravel was excluded from the debate because he didn't raise over one million dollars… Dennis Kucinich was excluded because his Iowa field director operated from a home office rather than a rented storefront office... Then the both of them were excluded from the following New Hampshire "Democratic" debate because they didn't reach ABC/Disney's required 5% threshold in some bullshit poll. After all that it was downhill for their campaigns. These guys got shitted on by ABC, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, you name it. I remember thinking the media was treating us like children by telling us who we can listen to in a political debate, and it wasn't fair to the American people... I was pissed off, and I wasn't going to take it... So what did I do about it? I started a blog... LMFAO!
I'm laughing right now but in all seriousness it actually made me feel good. It felt great to express my views, even if it was only one person reading it... Shit, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody at all read it. I would periodically post an interesting video, chime in with a rant about politics, religion, or whatever and it felt like I was contributing something somehow... I couldn't explain it, but maybe on some subconscious level I was felt if any of my messages resonated with someone I was somehow helping change the world for the better... Pretty corny, huh? Well, by the time July rolled around it began to feel pointless.
So lately I have ran into a couple of blogs and it reminded me how much I actually missed blogging. I've always been a pretty private person but right now I feel like it is my time to open up and start sharing. If you don't like it then you aint gotta read it. My whole life I wanted to be a rap star and I used to have this mentality like...
"Blogging? That's some dumb shit. I'll be damned if I'ma get caught slipppin' saying something I might regret later in front of the whole world!"
Little did I know I would later cringe listening to material I created and put out shortly after. I guess my point is that I feel there is nothing I could say here that will embarrass me more than some of the stuff I have said in my past as a rapper. So I want to get back to blogging, this time in a place that is more conducive to what I want to do... That's why I'm here, that's why I'm writing this, that's my first blog... Sort of ;)
