Papa's got a brand new blog

I keep telling myself I need a blog. Each time I have a blog, however, I get in trouble, but yet I still tell myself I need a blog.
Since writing my last blog, which seems such a long time ago, although it was in October, I almost got in trouble.
Now, however, I am renewing my vow to have a blog and have rid myself of the people who tried to get me in trouble for having a blog to begin with.
You know, I don’t care. The blog was the truth and I have a right to write and I’m going to write because that’s what I do.
Philosophy tells me I need a blog because it’s a good way to relive stress. Philosophy tells me when I do things, like risk a friendship, it is for a good reason.
Sometimes you have to walk away, far away, and slice, chew and digest the reasons you put someone up on a pedestal, or at least put them up on a step ladder.
When you do this the truth comes rushing in and you regret having put them up so highly to begin with.
So what’s been happening since my moment of clarity?
There, of course, is an emptiness that only time can fill but there are things, strange things that happen.
New people walk into your life as part of some plan, you get reading materials that help you through Plan B moments and you continue, day by day, moment by moment, second and minute and hour by hour.
The horizon offers me plenty: The beginning of boxing lessons in a week or so; the continued work on rrspin.com and the chance to renegotiate the radio deal and work on another stringer deal.
Dog ownership is slowly coming and my new friends are working with me on that. Even got an offer from someone I interviewed this weekend to help with that.
So, you know, I figure Lance needs a blog. I’m tired of not having one and if I piss someone off there’s a reason, a reason out of concern.
I fell into this new blog when I realized I had a Type Pad account I had never used.
I don’t know how often I will write. With the business personal writing is secondary but I need a blog, that’s what I keep telling myself.
I realize there will be snitches out there who will tell my business but if they’re that petty then I believe karma will bite them where they need to be bitten.
I’m letting the old domain go, but am still going to call the blog Dog Bites Blog because I like the name.
So put on your dancing shoes peeps and ride along. Snitch if you will, if that’s all you have to do but Lance has a brand new bag.
I can’t really get in trouble with anyone but myself now because hoot owl glasses wearing busybody is somewhere else in the country and I’ve, at least for now, rid myself of the evil influences in my life.
So, yes, Plan B came through and I’m ready. Papa’s got a brand new blog.
