So I started really blogging but is completely forgetting that it doesn’t maintain itself. I am also on Twitter and Facebook. Additionally, I'm working my ass off on becoming a dynamic impresario. Thrilled to be writing….. it is an opportunity to develop my writing skills. I tend to ramble from time to time and there are times that I jot things down in that same fashion. I even babble a bit...when my brain is full to the brim. The discipline of drawing words out of me, placing it on paper to make sense and sound good, is rewarding. Perhaps as rewarding as when I paint but I've not taken the time to contemplate that notion yet.

Anyway as a newbie, sort of, I’ve got alot to learn and that includes designing a custom page. My brain has begun to squeak and wail from all the thoughts that are pacing.across it and ..maybe aging is pushing that agenda. Once in awhile when the winds of change blow by, the panes rattle. Its like driving really fast down a country road thinking the road is yours when out rush an animal.. rahtid! The sudden pressure on the brakes cause the wheels to squeal really loud, the vehicle jerk, you're pitched forward, the heartbeat speed up and a rush of nervous adrenaline full the belly... if you were in a sweet day dream for a moment, sweat good to wash you briefly or so you'll believe.

The social networks are working out for me though. Take today for example, a friend posted a video about a fella name Larry McDonald. Some ideas are better than talent. A man that turns a cave into a recording studio and use stone to make music is genius. Palpable energy that help to full-up the earth. That is nuff vibes.

I’ll be uploading my first video clip shortly…. A few days from now. I’ll be taping a segment with a *Kumina drummer as part of a trailer for a documentary. Incidentally this brethren is from my childhood. Yea so to become better at this, I’m saddling up with ideas, ready to buss my chops to make this blog interesting and informative.

When the steamer days of summer get here, I am venturing out to find more spur of the moment treats. Flatbush Ave. should be ripe and ready for harvesting. Starting at Church Ave., working my way to Parkside and across into Prospect Park, the adventure will be in the details of each trip. So lock this in and remember to follow me. Tell me if like what you read.

*Kumina is an African-derived religious ritual practiced by sects such as the Pukumina. During Kumina, bands of people 'travail' in the spirit. With an intensifying frenzy, they dance in a circle to the sound of drumbeats and chanting. At the climax, the singing stops and dancers seem to be possessed by spirits. In this state, they give messages, warnings and other portent revelations
