After a few weeks of cerebral constipation and writers' block which was not helped by a vacation, (what do you expect when there is no substance between the ears?), I am sitting down to pen down a few words which are void of literary craftiness. Did I mention about of the nightly episodes after episodes nocturnal viewing of 'Law & Order SVU' (thanks to Uni-fi) which seem to be frying my brains of whatever there is of intelligence? Unlike Barry Manilow who wrote his songs for the whole to sing, I doubt Rifle Range Boy, the blog, is ever going down the annals of nostalgic history of mankind. But I still write....
Blogging is a catharsis of sorts. Ideas that nobody has the time or care to listen can be written in full glory at his leisure and pleasure in his own outlook for individuals with nothing else better to do (in other words, 'got no life!') to peruse, percolate and masticate before they spit it out or find common grounds. (Losers get together!). Blogging also helps to create electrical transmissions in the non dominant brain which has been lying dormant in the brains of most Asians and when you only escapism from the tentacles of poverty is academia, not creativity. Culture and creativity have been left in the back burners for too long a time.
Like other personalities in the creative field like Vincent van Gogh and Freddie Mercury who gained stardom post-humously, bloggers still stand a chance.....
The song 'I write the song' was written by Bruce Johnston of 'The Beach Boys' and had been sung by 200 over artistes including Frank Sinatra. The original song was released by 'Captain & Tenillle' and David Cassidy in 1975 before Manilow skyrocketed it to the Grammy and beyond! 'I' in the song refers to God, not an ego trip for the writer. It is rather meant to sing the glory of God and the magic of music!
