In My Corner

It seems we walk that aisle every night.

Staring into the lights. Staring out into the world.

No regrets. No concerns. No way back.

 

The naysayers boo, and some whisper their words of destruction.

Others arise to their feet in support, on board with this uniqueness.

Yet they all turn in unison, as we come through those curtains.

 

We defy the attention. We defy the spotlight. We defy the acknowledgement.

It’s about quick tags and ring positioning in this life, and thus remains our focus.

We remain loyal to our arsenal of clashing forks, fireworks, and sticking it to the man.

 

Through it all, we season, we sharpen, and we leave just a little bit to our craziness.

For craziness is like heaven…

And that’s a finisher that no one has been able to kick out of.

 

It all has been a wonderful ride to this point,

And it is a ride, that has just begun.

All in all, I am very happy that each and every night, you are in my corner. Big Time.

We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

Trying to Stay Mellow on Melo and his "Brand"

(Courtesy: NYTimes/Richard Perry) Alright, fire up the rant machine after this one folks.  "What's understood doesn't need to be spoken upon" #DestiNY #TheFutureIsNow — Carmelo Anthony (@carmeloanthony) June 26, 2015 Carmelo Anthony really hasn't been winning any points with me lately. None. I've been indifferent on him even as the years have gone on and the Knicks fanbase continues to split on supporting him. Lately, I've been creeping over to the negative side. For me, a big deciding factor was when he decided to play in the Knicks game in London and in the meaningless All-Star Game to continue "building his brand", and thus delaying his needed knee surgery to the point of affecting his return for this upcoming 15-16 season.
