I’m back, BITCHES!
August 7th, 2011 by badonkadonkdonkI deeply admire people who maintain journals and diaries and blogs; they dutifully make it a point to ‘jot’ down anything at all at one point during the day. Letters become the words become sentences into paragraphs ultimately adding up to bits of moments that seemingly highlight an entire day, pages upon pages, documenting their deepest thoughts, most cherished experiences, wild ideas, poetry, anything and everything that matters to them. Andy Warhol kept a diary. The Warhol Diaries is one of my favorite books as a matter of fact. I remember reading it for the first time when I was in my early 20’s (LOL! Syn and I would take turns reading entries over soggy burritos at Taco Bell on Western Ave.)
It appealed to my voyeuristic side at first but then I started having these bizarre dreams about he and I shacked up together in a swanky loft in NY… I developed a strange obsession to Jerry Hall and Andy was just so peculiar and so absolutely marvelous! When I read his diary it was as if my mind was peaking into his mind somehow. I could relate to him so well which made me wonder about my own sanity. I remember saying to myself: “Gods, I wish you were still alive Andy! I wish, I wish!” Had he been alive, I believe my life would have been completely different because I would have sought him out and made him my BFF. One thing I found incredibly amusing was how he kept a detailed account of his daily expenses. He’d write things like “I stopped by Chads in Soho for a night cap, (Taxi $2.85)”. I adopted that practice for a while, but I could never manage to keep a diary for long, much less track of my expenses.
Today I asked myself for about the hundredth time: How does someone go about finding such a discipline? Then I realized, you don’t find it, you develop it, silly! This isn’t my first time setting up a blog. As a matter of bloody rotten fact, TELAVIVNIGHTS.COM was hacked 2 years ago by Right Wingers after I wrote something NASTY about them. I didn’t have the energy to rebuild the website before, but I’ve decided it’s time. For me own sanity, I’m going to start writing again… yes… so, although I took a break, I’m getting back on me horse now and I’m starting here, again… fresh! I am going to write and stick to it much the same way I stick to brushing my teeth in the morning. The same way I’m sticking to exercising, eating right and all that other crap. After all, I enjoy writing, I am full of ideas and there is so much drama in the world, I’m sure I could find SOMETHING to write about.
I don’t think I could write too much about my own boring hum-drum life, I’m certainly no Andy Warhol! I can’t imagine writing down trivial, day to day stuff like: “The dog took a massive crap on the carpet today” or “Spent the day at home sniffing my own…” No, none of that would do. And I’m certainly not going to write about my tedious little “job” either. My entries would read something like: “Answered 12 emails today, lots of pissed off customers want refunds!” Ugggh. No, no, that wouldn’t do either. Well, with all of this in mind, I am going to make a serious effort this time around. I’ll make it a point to write an entire book of opinions online… or rather a ‘blog’ loaded with opinions or outlandish ideas, racy, jarring rants that will surely get someone’s panties up in a bunch… things of that sort.
Then again…
I don’t know if anybody would really care to hear my opinions. Why should anyone care about what I think? I mean, who TF am I? Like most people, I have millions of bizarre thoughts per week. Sure, I’ve got what to say but so do you and the next bloak, so why should anyone give a stinkin’ crap? I mean, honestly, do you care? Probably not, but you’re here because at this very moment, you’ve probably got nothing better to do or perhaps you do have something better to do BUT I’ve managed to keep you interested this far and therefore, here we are! Since I have you here as my witness, I am going to make an oath to myself, again with you as my witness, and that is to make reading this book of opinions worth everyone’s while for the next 2 years and 27 days. Why 27 days? No reason. It was the first number to pop into my mind and so that’s what it is. As a matter of fact, I’m going to REpost all me old posts… as irrelevant as they may be by now… in order to revive this bloody website for the 4th time in 7 years. Yes, dearest readers, I am going to make it my solemn duty to write one interesting, thought provoking, enraging, hysterically funny or otherwise terribly amusing entry per week for the sole purpose of keeping my own sanity! I can’t go on through life without dedicating some time to creative writing!! I MUST write!! FFS!
If I make you smile, know that I smile with you. If I make you angy, that’s a good thing because it means you’re thinking. If I hurt your feelings… you will get over it and if I plant the seed of change in your mind, I hope something positive will grow from it. My only hope is that this time around I’m not referred to as a BLOGGER or categorized as a leftist, rightist, feminist, racist, environmentalist, capitalist, anarchist, Marxist, socialist, Zionist, activist or any other sort of ‘ist’ for that matter.
Are we good to go?
