TAKE OFF YOUR SOCKS LEST THEY BE KNOCKED

Ain't it Funky?

Posted about 1 year ago
Hello MOG, how ya been? I've been trying to adjust to a new job these last eight weeks, and it's been rough, but I think I have got my groove back. I saw Rollins last week in Raleigh, and he helped a lot. Rollins gave me some perspective, again, but he's good for that. He's five years older than me and has about, oh, four or five hundred percent more energy than me. There is so much life to experience, and so much of it is just . . . really cool. I re-read our Sandman comics after we moved in - packing and unpacking books gives you a mind to re-discover your old favorites - and I took to heart Death's words to her brother after a seriously difficult passing. "So live." Today might be all we have. Rollins knows that pretty damn well. I think I'm so busy, got so much going on, and what I really do is stand still. I have to get moving. I made some major changes really quickly at the end of the year - brand new job, brand new apartment, new lifestyle with more money in our pockets, and it has been a stressful change. But now I've got to make this new life of mine sing. Make it work. Make it funky. Getting the engine primed isn't enough. You have to feed it, and put the pedal to the medal.Like James Brown says, you've got to HIT IT!Y'all enjoy this , now.

  5. Bartleby says What a funk-fu flurry ! It's nice to have you back. I see you've brought the Godfather and his JB's. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine on who's our favourite funk guitarist the other day. Believe it or not, Catfish Collins was mysteriously omitted. So thank you so very much for correcting this terrible oversight with your YT selection.

  9. dermahrk says Back with a vengeance! James Brown and a comics reference. Though I sold my collection of 10,000 a couple of years ago, I was once quite the aficionado. Interesting that you are/were one too.
