Dark Corner

Been gone awhile. There is no specific reason other than being completely disgusted with Americans and what they have allowed to happen in recent years. Tired of the insanity I guess.

Anyway, here is a tune from a group I had never heard of until I heard them while watching the twisted SciFi series "CowBoy BeBop" on Netflix. If you have ever read Old Skool Sci/Fi pulp from the 1950s and 60s, this series will feel familiar. It's a hoot. The real star of the series though is the music. It is awesome.

Okay. The ice has finally been broken ....... again. When I step back from this blog, it is always because something is not right , something is askew, Life is too uneven, too off keel for me.

I withdraw, retire to the internal sanctuary I created as a child when family dysfunctions became too much; too ugly; too dark. My remedies were many; marathon reading and hours spent creating my own worlds. Staying outside until hunger or the dark forced me back in the house. Building a wall with childhood diversions, dreams, and what ifs until my anger or fear of the current family upheaval dissipated.

Beginning to write again is a sign another dark corner has been successfully turned. The dark corner returns to idle mode and patiently waits for me to face it again. The corner is not concerned if I will face it again. It knows I will always come up against it again; I always have. A kind of Yin and Yang cycle I guess. ............ There needs to be balance. It is a constant struggle.

Keep it 'tween the ditches ..........................................
