++ Take This Longing ++

I tried to do the unthinkable and go to bed early tonight, but couldn't get to sleep. I think i am overtired from the past few days of non-stop socializing and catching up with old friends.

Anyway, instead of sleeping, i watched the new Leonard Cohen Tribute/Documentary and i was blown away. Not so much by the performances of the likes of Nick Cave, Jarvis Cocker, Beth Orton, and Bono/U2 who did covers of Cohen's work [with the exception of Antony of 'Antony and The Johnsons' who did a freaking amazing job with his cover of "If It Be Your Will"]. I mean, face it, NO ONE is as great as Cohen, and NO ONE can top the combination of his voice, words and delivery. What really blew me away was watching Leonard speak about his work, and life. He is such a beautiful soul, and i am so happy that someone did a documentary about him before he passes off this planet.

While watching the documentary, i was struck with the feeling that he might not be with us much longer, and this caused me to shed more than a few tears. But then again, i am just a big, old baby when it comes to deep and beautiful men with deep and beautiful words.

[Anthroid.Net/Artist X™]

This blog is a replacement for the newsletter board which i update far too infrequently. Will an interactive format force me to become more chatty and involved? Will anyone discover this blog, thus allowing me to interact? We shall see.

Here you will find update announcements for Anthroid.Net, and general, uncensored madness from me, The Artist X.

Feel free to stop by and leave a comment, quip or your predictory Powerball number picks!

Your posts will be an incentive for me to administer yet more locution. So, what i am saying is that if you don't post then i won't post and it will all be your fault!

Registered members only, please. If i am not afraid to bare my soul, then you shouldn't be either.

Be sure to subscribe to the mailing list in the section below, so you can be alerted when this blog is updated. My feckless past dictates that i will never remember to tell you on my own.
