"It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you..." I have to quote one of the greatest MC's of all time, Rakim, as I start this entry. Since last we talked, I've been reworking a screenplay, performing in acting showcases, watching the Virginia Tech tragedy, Democratic Presidential debate, number one; saw my Wizards swept out of the NBA playoffs and enjoyed my Bills picks of Marshawn Lynch and Paul Posluszny in the NFL draft. I also saw the article I wrote for the National Urban League's "Opportunity Journal" magazine published. In betwixt and between those events I was volunteering with "my kids" as peace 4 kids and meeting with the Los Angles Urban League's Young Professionals Public Policy Committee, of which I am a member, to plan our June event on the 10 year anniversary of Prop 209. So I've been busy indeed with business, angst and pleasure. The truth? I just haven't felt like writing.
The life of the writer is one of a blatant disregard for social connection. Sometimes the writer needs to hang, party, and bs some time away; acquiring new insights, fresh visions, and new fodder for sentences and paragraphs. Other times, the writer needs to write in a different forum and put other writing skills to use. Well, it's all here nor there at this point.
Mr. Wyatt is back. For now anyway...
