Well, it is now well more than a month since I last posted. True, I was on tour for two weeks (which, p.s., was brilliant!), but still, that's a long time to go when you're really trying to be good about keeping up with a blog. I stand by my decisions, though. After all, if you read the little section to the right, I clearly and honestly stated that I don't like blogging, and here I will add the caveat: "even when I have something to blog about."
I am the first to admit that I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this task. It's great in theory, but in practice, it's really quite difficult. With music stuff, contract jobs that come in, and other day-to-day things, keeping up a schedule of routine, daily cleaning is almost an impossibility. Well, if I were Superman, I'm sure I could make it all work, but alas, the Man of Steel I am not.
Sigh.
Am I giving up? No. Am I amending the blog? Yes.
I'll clean regularly but not beat up on myself for not being perfect, and I'll blog when I feel like it. How 'bout them apples?
What is this all about?
- Singing Under Martha's Whip
- I am a musician who doesn’t like to blog. It feels forced and weird talking about my music with no focal point other than that. So, what to do? As any self-respecting gay boy would do, I turned to Martha Stewart, of course!
At the beginning of her Homekeeping Handbook there is a calendar outlining the cleaning schedule that one should maintain. I thought for I would follow this calendar and blog about the experience. In my cleaning, I imagined I would be thinking about my music, ideas for tours, and life, love, and the universe. And that is what I would be chronicling here.
Well, you know how it goes with the best laid plans. The idea didn't work out like I hoped. You see, I run a cleaning service to fund my music, and though my house is not like the proverbial cobbler's children's bare feet, Martha’s calendar was too much for me! So now this blog will be about my adventures in cleaning, working to live up to an almost impossible ideal (don't worry clients - I won't be writing about you!), all the while trying to concentrate on my music and art.
So, enjoy! And, please, clean your toilet. Really.
