I told myself I’d be good at blogging when I launched this years ago, and clearly, three years later I have lived up to my own reputation of not being a good blogger. I suppose a big part of it is the fear of being “cancelled” – a term that has emerged within recent years which essentially means everyone turns their back on you and you potentially lose everything you have.
It sounds silly explaining the concept of someone be “canceled”, today in this moment. I suppose far down the road, we may need that reminder of the concept of cancellation; or at least I will, with the way my brain keeps throwing things away into my own personal “memory dump”. (Inside Out 2 just came out by the way, which was a terrific film.) FYI, Jennifer Lopez is the latest to be cancelled for appearing to be inauthentic. Interestingly enough she was on top of the world just a few short years ago having done the Super Bowl with Shakira and was a strong contender for a bunch of prestigious awards when she had done the film “Hustlers”.
So upon reflection, I came to the realization that this blog should ultimately document key events in my life that I never want to forget and perhaps the occasional reflective post. The goal is to go back to 2021, and work my way through key events retroactively whilst blogging about current events.
With that – wish me luck. Hopefully the next post won’t be in another 3 years.
