The Ides Of March

       It is I. Time caught up with me, folks. Burning the candle at both ends finally claims it spoils. What sleep I do get, is restless sleep. I’m supposed to use a CPAP machine, but I haven’t been sent any new face-masks in months. Go figure.

      Well we’re in the middle of our health benefits being castrated, so I’m not fucking shocked. “Beware The Ides Of March.” to quote a line from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. I slid the one in on you, didn’t I. lol.

      I’m not a huge Shakespeare fan, respect him, I do though. I always remembered the line from when we read the play in school. It’s also from that play I also learned the word, “Soothsayer.” who is also the character who delivers this warning.

      See, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. lol. Anyhow, I’m not here to talk Shakespeare, folks. It would be a short conversation. The real reason the “Ides” thing sticks with me is because I was born in, March. Three days from the actual middle of the month, but I figure it’s close enough.

      March 12th to be precise. I’m over halfway through my journey in this life. Despite, what lies are being spewed on the news about people living way past 100. Most never make it to the Century Mark. Just being real.

      Some die as soon after they collect their retirement. I’m not even going there, folks. The circus in town doesn’t give a fuck about us. They don’t. I’m way past fucking pretending that we don’t have problems.

      Also, weather has played havoc on my kids going to school. I record “Backstage” while their at school. So you can clearly see my dilemma. Luckily, I got some good news for once.

      My wife, the fabulous Mrs. DeadLove got me a great birthday gift. I’m going away for a couple of nights of solitude and creativity. Writing, recording, listening to music, smoking weed, and eating anything I fuckin' want.

      She rented me a little studio apartment setup for those two nights. Full kitchen, wifi, 50 inch television, it has a cool vibe in the picture. So I’m excited. I plan on writing and recording as many Backstage episode as possible. lol.

      I have to archive some for the kids summer vacation. When I won’t be able to record again. For about 2 months.

      So for all the music fans out there, I’m your hookup. Anyways, I’ve been feeling under the weather, so I’m gonna try and get some much needed sleep. Thanks for reading as always. Be careful what you wish for, and Beware the Ides of March. Peace, Love, and Lennon.
