Hi Hi Hi! Or is that ho, ho, ho, eh? More like snow, snow, snow. Fah! LOL. Surprisingly, the blog is still online as I haven't taken it down since I quit writing in July. 2013 has been a bitch year and I'm glad to see it almost over.<br />
<br />
I've been tinkering with the notion of restarting the blog for 2014 just because so much is going on and I need an outlet, but I learned my lesson by leaving the vulnerability door open..assholes will walk in. Smart-ass, know-it-all doe-eyed ones in particular, but I digress. I was glad for the respite from blogging. Seems many of my brethren have gone to pasture in 2013 as well. It gets tiring to stay relevant or interesting. Readership is fickle and I just don't have to time, inclination, or energy to throw my whole self into this setting again. Maybe on a part time basis, maybe. We'll see. Regardless whether I resume blogging or not, many of the old posts will be deleted. If I do resume, they'll be a blog name change and link update. I think the Axe has too much negative energy from the past and if I do resume, I need to shake the dirty from betwixt my feet and start clean! Again, we'll see what happens next month.<br />
<br />
I mainly wanted to check in since its snowing here like a mutha and my ass is inside, comfy, cozy. I'm not going out this house until Monday if I can help it, screw it! Hahaha Stay warm and safe wherever you be this weekend. If I don't pen anymore until after the Holidays, be safe, joyful and merry!<br />

I've decided to stop writing <i><b>Weilding the Axe</b></i>. I'm tired of blogging, well at least in this format. I still have my Tumblr blog which has been a complete joy. There is no criticism or snotty folks about to chastise shit they don't understand, well informed about, and even know me enough to make a valid judgment....but I digress.<br />
<br />
Onward and upward. Focus forward, never retrograde baby boy.
My reasons for ending the blog is my heart hasn't been in it for some months. I didn't think anything I posted was relevant to the current needs of the community/society; I was just too focused on myself. Yes, I used this blog as an outlet to work through shizz to relax, relate, release. Some days I got positive support. Other days I'd get the slappy London affair just brandy about in my face about how much of an asshole I was or exactly how whiny or self-pontificating I could be. Well, shit. LOL. Don't we all take to a soap box er'ry now and then to focus on our beliefs? Our agendas. Let the naysayers say nay, but I would not change a thing I did in the past seven years.<br />
<br />
This overall experience has been fun and educational.
Now, I promised not to make this a long tearful goodbye. Really, I won't. The people who I value know I value them and thank on the regular. I've met and broken bread with more than a few of you through this blog. Traveled to places I didn't think I'd ever go on my own. Tested the limits of fear, conquered shame, and made some wonderful friends. I will thank personally my brothers-in-arms <b>Pharaoh</b>,<b> Wonder Man</b> (now tha <i>fantabbbbbbbbbbulous </i>Vik<i>tahhhhhh</i> Kerney!), <b>Amanofcolours</b>, <b>Mardi Reid</b>, (<i>or whatever his current moniker du jour </i>be), <b>Corey</b> @ I'll Keep You Posted, and <b>Roger Poladopoulos.</b> There are others I probably should give shout outs to, but way too many to list in a brief post.<br />
<b>Della Reese</b><br />
<br />
There are a few post that are on automatic that I'll leave scheduled through the remainder of the year. If I get sick of this space, I might just delete them and put 'em out of their misery. LOl.<br />
<br />
So in the end, I thank all the folks I've met...the good, the bad, and truly outrageous (truly, truly!) Y'all made it real while we walked together and my words cannot do justice in this moment. I'll leave knowing I've become a better thanks to this blog. I <i>did</i> me, and <i>stayed</i> me while I wrote the blogs... Never was a fake ass bitch one solitary moment! I leave the same advice in return,<b> "DO YOU, BE YOU."</b> <u>Never settle to anyone else's standard</u>. <i>Word. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Au revoir et bonne chance mes amis</i><br />

I had a profound crush on Mikey Craig, bassist for Culture Club, back in the day. I heard this on one of the easy listening stations yesterday. Said to myself what perfect song for Flashback Friday.<br />
<br />
I wonder whatever happened to other members of CC? Boy George was in and out of rehab for the longest time, but after the band broke up, you never heard anything else about Roy, Mikey, or Jon.<br />
<br />
Hmm. Was that the thing in the 80s? Like Wham's Andrew Ridgeley or Curt Smith from Tears for Fears, they just dropped off the face of the Earth. Perhaps life just returned to normalcy. One can only hope....Ianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12989282312784842266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411740071817900271.post-81016705783016005172013-06-03T09:18:00.000-05:002013-06-03T09:18:00.442-05:00happy pride season<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
