"I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true."

Once upon a time...that seems like as fair a place to start this journey as any, I suppose. Once upon a time, there was a girl who had dreams of stories. So many stories swirling around in her mind that she had no choice but to empty some of those myriad thoughts and ideas onto paper just to exercise all of these various myriad of details into a place where they could roam free from one another and dance and play in the world. She started that journey today.

Also, in this swirling abyss there were thoughts and experiences that required a record, a voice, a place to share with the world something perhaps profound or perhaps merely just insightful. This shall be that place.

So as introductions go, this is as good as any. I can't guarantee that this will always be something others will find worthwhile, but perhaps it will be something that others will at least find interesting.

Yesterday, I went to Truman's for the last time. It is closing. I wonder what it means that it is closing. Of course it was due to bad management, but it is interesting that there will be no clearly marked mainstay for the LGBT community in the area anymore. Truman's had been open for 20 years and was one of the finest dance clubs in the area. And I know my dance clubs, so I know wherefore I speak, but now it is an end of an era and again, as they so often do, things change, morph into something new. As the film Prometheus recently said, and quite aptly I believe, sometimes, in order to create you must destroy. I wonder what this vacuum for that community will mean. It will be interesting to see what takes its place.

But that wasn't really what I wanted to talk about. My mind feels overwhelmed and sluggish today as a result of my over imbibing last night, but even so, I feel like the thoughts are pushing at my skull, which even though clearly I have a hangover, it is giving a physical pain and purpose to my overflowing thoughts. This shall be an effort to put a voice to those thoughts and perhaps focus back into a quiet, calm, and peaceful mind. But I must pause before I truly begin and separate these ideas into their cohesive form and continue when I have more time.

Imagine a musical interlude until my return...
