Can you believe we’re getting close to two years since so many of us migrated here to FriendBurst with the meltdown of MySpace?\u00a0 There be but a few of us from that exodus left, but point being, time passes. <\/font><\/p>\n

2012 hasn’t been a year that I’ve made ukulele videos like in years past. There have been a few, but not like I did before, which those of you who’ve stuck around reading my blogs will remember. <\/font><\/p>\n

I dunno.\u00a0 I’ve been in a bit of a creative funk.\u00a0 I’m not inspired.\u00a0 I also feel constrained by this coffin-like miniature apartment I live in.\u00a0 All that said, I still WANT to create crappy ukulele videos, I just haven’t felt inspired ENOUGH.<\/font><\/p>\n

One thing I’ve always been derisive of has moved in right next door here in Friendburst and gotten really friendly with the landlord. That being imposed content community creation.\u00a0 The CPC pets do it with their poetry themes, and a couple blogging communities I know have tried to do that here too… but I’ve always been like too aloof and feeling like anyone who needs to be TOLD what to write is at some other level than I who can write whatever I want when I want…<\/font><\/p>\n

With the ukulele, I need to be given suggestions.\u00a0 My best stuff comes from when I am GIVEN an assignment to complete. <\/font><\/p>\n

\"\"This week’s assignment at Ukulele Underground was “Rain”.. I looked and looked for songs including the word “Rain” in their title; Songs ABOUT rain… THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM!!! I would posit that other than Love, Rain is the most sung about thing in the universe.\u00a0 Anyhoots, I think I have found an avenur by which I can be the creative self I want to be and have been in the past.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

This song has lots of meaning for me.\u00a0 Some people have found, whether they say so or not,\u00a0 that the way I think is “insane”.\u00a0 I really do want to find someone who will tell me that he or she\u00a0 will always be there when I wake. I want to fall in love again.\u00a0 I read books as a form of escape.\u00a0 God, I love a good book for the exact reason described in this song; it gives me an escape. <\/font><\/p>\n
