"Midnight is where the day begins." - Bono
Midnight truly is where the day begins, and this night - like many others before it - has gifted onto myself the urge to write a new blog post. I've been a bit slow in uploading new things ever since I got this new page up and running, but make no mistake about it: Making this comeback has been a real treat for me; kinda like staring circumstances down in it's face and then beating it down in it's own house at it's own game on top of it.
Anyway, enough with my rambling. So here I am once again on another dark, quiet, and interesting New York City night with nothing more going on in these slow midnight hours before the rest of the world wakes up for their daily routines and never-ending overtures, and I guess I just wanted to get back to basics once again. I sometimes forget that before the montages and before all of the artistic projects which I've since come to promote the most out of this page of mine: I originally created my first blog page back in 2006 as a journal-esque attempt to chroniclize my then-teenaged life.
But times have changed since then and much has happened in my life in the many, many, many days since. But we've covered all that stuff plenty of times over, haven't we?
When my original page got destroyed after MySpace.com revamped their site, I remember saying to myself that their mindless decision couldn't have come at a worse time! I was at the top of my game montage-wise, I had just surpassed the one-thousandth blog post mark, I had just finished up the "Mementoes For My Generation" project that I'd done for five consecutive weeks that previous summer, and I was slap in the middle of producing the "Watchmen" montage series. But, hey, it's their loss, right?
Anyway: The time in between then and now was a really tough-but-memorable time for me. I'd lost my original page that I worked extremely hard on for five years, but I didn't give up and I pulled through until I got the job of rebuilding myself a new page up from the ground all said and done with.
In short: I learned something very substancial in that three-month period.... never give up on the things you believe in. Never.
