Go-Go's- "Vacation"

Did you ever have a time in your life where you felt that everything you said was coming out wrong? I feel like that right now, and it's paralyzing me when it comes to blogging.

For some of us, the holidays are a white-knuckle ride of painful memories, and that is clouding every post I start and ultimately trash. So, rather than flaming out in a spectacular way and saying things I really don't mean, I think I need to just back away from this right now until this cycle of grief works itself out.

I'll still post those football picks, because, like, that's important, but as far as the rest of it goes- I honestly don't care right now. Who knows, maybe tomorrow I'll have something to say- but right now I need to get away from all this serious stuff. I'm utterly tongue-tied at this point.

See that video up there? The Go-Go's did that as a joke- they did a lot of the things they did for laughs, for fun, and people gave them a whole lot of shit for it because they were supposed to be "serious".

I'll leave it to you to figure out who those people were, let's just say they were supposed to be allies in the war for equality. The Go-Go's found themselves attacked because they weren't living up to what others perceived to be the correct way to fight for "the cause".

Some things never change. There is a lesson here, one that we haven't learned yet. Maybe we never will.

And that's all I got to say about that.

I'm going to go have some fun now. I'll be back.

And I still want to be Gina Schock when I grow up.

Peace.
