[5...4...3...2...1...all systems g-wait...not yet!]



[5…4…3…2…1…all systems g–wait…not quite yet…]

so, there’s a website that i am ready to launch into cyberspace.  it is a website i worked on rather diligently back a few years ago…all my blood, sweat, and tears…poured so much into it.  when it was all done…ready to be viewed…i pulled the plug on all the engines…kept it grounded.
why?
well, that will require a hundred more blogs to answer that question.  [stay tuned!  something to look forward to.  yeehaw!]
anyway…today…monday, february 11, 2018, i dusted off my old, dormant website…checked it out myself…[“wow, this is gonna be good, i can tell.”  i was so dory when i looked it over…no clue as to half the things i did with it.]
in this new year…in this awesome new year…2018…i am taking more chances with my books…my writing…and not letting the same old stupid obstacles hold me back anymore.
this is an unofficial launching…because as of now, the site still needs a little love…it requires some tweaking before it can be official.  so, for now i am doing a test run.  to anyone reading this right now…and within the remainder of the week…you get to sample how the sample looks right now!  wow…how lucky are you?!
bear in mind that there are some minor glitches.  the blog page is a bit wonky.  i am not sure why it looks that way…and im the creator.  i have tinkered with it…but not with very much success.  technology is not being that friendly to me at the moment…but i am confident and hoping to conquer this minor setback.

anyway…to those of you reading…[hello, is there anybody out there?] i hope you enjoy.
in a few days…the real launch will take place.
so, get your sunglasses and phones ready…it will be absolutely monumental!

[march of the mushrooms]


[march of the mushrooms]


Overnight…
by early the next day, long before the sun rises, we are ready, so ready, more than ready. Tossed once more from another safe yet suffocating cocoon and into the open, frigid, frightening world. We’ve been here before, standing in there same shoes, old fists, charged and pumped–and oh, so soft–so soft–unable to wreak any havoc or do any damage.
But now, now–[how now, brown cow, we giggle–] now it is time! This is our moment. Finally!
We bring to the surface, pull from the electric charges that illuminate our hearts, once more, all the fears and obstacles that once stood before us–blocking, obstructing, preposterously preventing us from 
pursuing–and claiming, yes, claiming, what is so rightfully ours.


This is how the year started for me.
A mere mushroom…
meek…mild…patient…
now…persistent…
pushing his way up through the cracks of the pavement…
trying to find a place…
a voice…
no longer with my soft fists…
I am so ready to inherit the earth.
