I quit looking at the clock it'll only bring me down and it won't bring you here
I could have blogged yesterday, even briefly, about any number of things.
I could have blogged about how Jason Robert Brown is currently rocking my world. I picked up a copy of his 2005 album, Wearing Someone Else's Clothes, and its fantastic. Its rare to find a talented composer who can also perform his own songs and do it well, but like some modern-day Cole Porter, Brown can pull it off -- and he writes challenging songs. The album contains a version of I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You, an incredibly good song excised from The Last 5 Years due to a lawsuit brought by his ex-wife. And also several other songs I'm really grooving on at the moment, due to Brown's ability to bring phenomenal musical and lyrical excellence to the table. He is a virtuoso, and if you like music I highly recommend checking him out.
In a bout of interest and boredom I did a little research and discovered he's currently working on a musical in LA. The show is entitled 13, and follows the adventures of a boy named Evan relocated by his mother during a tumultuous divorce to the middle of Indiana. The crux of the show is apparently Evan's struggle to make new friends in time for his bar mitzvah when he's the only Jewish kid in town. As if that didn't sound intriguing enough, one of the key songs in the show is apparently entitled Being A Geek. You can listen to a commercial for the show by downloading an MP3 of it on this page (scroll down.) Being A Geek? Seriously? Could this be more right up my alley? JRB rocks my world.
I could also have blogged about deleting my MySpace page, a decision that proved only marginally less satisfying than canceling my World of Warcraft account. I don't miss MySpace at all, and I won't go back unless someone can offer up a compelling reason why I should. If I have to use a social networking site other than livejournal, then let it be thefacebook, where I have recently set up an RSS feed from this very blog. Too lazy for livejournal or just uninterested in the narcissistic navel-gazing associated with blogging sites? Look for me on thefacebook. Or on tribe.net, but I almost never log in there.
I could have blogged about those things, or several other little bits and pieces floating around my brain. And if I had then my aspiration to make some sort of entry every non-holiday weekday wouldn't have been shot to shit the day after I made it public. Good thing I didn't make it a New Year's resolution...
