A.A.R.P. (Andrew's American Reality Program)


Yo,

Well obviously you knew something was up. Although I've noticed, the middle east non-withstanding, the world didn't collapse completely in wake of my blogs semi-retirement. This semi-retirement, not unlike probably most others, wasn't planned but after it went along far enough it seemed to make sense. I imagine that's usually how it goes. Once you hit 54 you probably just don't decide to become irrelevant. It's simply that one morning you wake up and have no idea why the flip Hogan's Heroes isn't on anymore...... and that's about all she wrote.

I guess it was kind of like that. In the beginning I really didn't think that this blog would make it the two year mark. The fact that it is approaching that benchmark really begs the question of this particular endeavor's mortality. Despite my initial claim that I was in this to quote "spray on all deez hatin mufuckazz fa evah."

That being said I write these words as a slap in the face to my slap in the face. Whenever and wherever I feel like I posting I think that I ought to, nay SHOULD, post. What with the (non-existent) public outcry it might be lunacy to stop.

Not like it isn't completely without pleasure, in fact this blog is probably a good dose of medicine for me. I lead ever lengthening days it seems and perhaps this will be a good vehicle for me to take stock of the day's passings. After all, I'll be mother fucked before I ask anyone why Suddenly Susan got cancelled.

*************

To follow the format of the rest of the blogosphere, here is something that is minuscule but bothering me in my everyday life. It seems life is actively working against me in the "Andrew is never going to get to see the Darjeeling Limited," world. This isn't one of those..I could do it if I really wanted to things. This is one of those picturing God as dangling meat (no pun intended) in front of my face without letting you have it for so long that eventually I just start grazing instead. That's actually how cows were invented. It's True.

Not that that this frustration is remarkably or even notably bothersome. What do I have to really complain about? After all i know FULL well why Suddenly Susan got canceled. Simply put, the American public just wasn't ready for the well-read of a show. I believe the term for it was "Too high-end" Whoa is the fate of the intellectual in today's titillate oriented television. Rest in peace Susan.

***************

That's it for now......keep the radio dialed in however, perhaps I'll muse with other stylings in the attempted humor/satirist fashion soon. Until then.......here.

Stay up till you get lit up,
Andrew
