I have a funny feeling that when I post for the third morning in a row this morning my readers are going to think "Kim Comer Jackson must be wrapped in a rug in a ditch and someone's writing in her place because she would
never, ever, ever be able to post three days in a row ... she's just entirely too spastic!"
Well, good news gang -
I'm getting a handle on all of my disorganization
and I'm totally coming up around the bend on it...
I've been working on it for some time, but the truth is it took a long time for things to spin into total chaos and it's taking a bit to clean it up. And when I say chaos, I mean years of procrastination, incompletion and half-assing on everything from bills to my storage unit to my car to my trunk to my apartment; due to being overwhelmed by the *Gloomy Gusses*
I don't say that to push the blame off on something else, although it be intangible.
I know I'm at fault for procrastinating on things, but it's not because I'm some lazy broad laying on a couch eating bon-bon's, that's for sure... depression is a very real thing and one of my promises to you for the remainder of 2012 is that I'm going to discuss my experience with it very candidly...
so hitch your girdles up and whatnot...
Anywho, I've seen things surface in the last few months as I've sorted through boxes and such that I hadn't seen in years. Some of you have had to go through the *quarter-life shift* and you know how tough it can be to go through those boxes and see pictures of yourself from 10 or more years ago, in an era that seems like another lifetime now...
Some of the things that have appeared have reminded me "who I used to be"... Some of the things that have appeared have made me wonder "who the Hell I was"...
It just so happens that during the sorting of this era in the last couple of weeks, I had two longtime friends who each needed to sit down and vent about either a situation with a pending divorce or the shrapnel that's currently flying from a divorce that's gotten a few years down the road... that was good timing... you kids must've had your "KCoJax needs to move some mountains" radar on, but it was a good thing because those chats with those two friends gave me a great surge ahead and I hope that I was able to help each of them to get some "yuck" out of their minds.

Then a few days ago,
I saw the news on Facebook that a friend of mine had passed away. This wonderful gentleman was in his early 60's and the cause will most likely turn out to have been his heart..
I was so incredibly shocked and deeply saddened... Just the night before a friend and I were discussing local music and his name came up and only a couple of weeks ago I was writing something and thought to myself that it was a piece he would get quite a kick out of.. that piece is still in my drafts.
I had first met him when working for him as a server in his restaurant around '96ish and then after running across one another on MySpace in 2006ish, this fellow was the very first person to encourage me on my writing.
In the last four years or so we'd sat down just a handful of times and spent quite a few hours as we discussed music, business, marketing, writing, politics, the world... there was nothing that man couldn't talk about. And if he couldn't talk about it, he would proceed on with a conversation to learn more about it... He was the kind of person who would ask you a question about yourself that your weren't sure you knew the answer to... A brilliant, kind and talented man ... and he will truly be missed from this world...
***
No doubt it's been a very "heavy" couple of weeks ... but in the interest of making sure we all go off into the Universe happy today ... I'm gonna leave you with something that always makes me laugh ... Mitch Hedberg ... another brilliant soul who left this world too soon...
Have a Grand and Groovy Day!
