I have been a rock n roll fan for all my adult years. It has been fun meeting rock n roll fans in
person. I make so many friends when I am
out and about on the street and at the park or at a concert. The years have gone by and now I lost touch
with them all. We have gone on to raise
families or start businesses or just moved on in our lives. For whatever reason, the connection was lost over
time. Part of my life was spent being a
dad to my sons and it caused me to stay out of the bar nightlife. I wanted to be a good example to my sons so I wasn't a drunk. I was home each night
after work and when I had some free time I would go online to Pogo and play
chess. I played so much chess that I
made some friends on that site. Then after literally 10 years on that site, I
played another game Battleship when it came out. For the first several months I played that game I made a ton of friends
online. That was cool but I got banned by that site. That rocked!
After a ten years on Pogo playing games there
I stopped. It wasn't so much because I got banned from that site it was because I was ready to move on, that is why I got sloppy and got banned, I just didn't care.
Now, I don’t chat with those
friends and when I pop in using a different profile, I look around and they are all gone or some who remain are playing
different games. The pool of friends
dried up and they are dust in the wind.
Today I am back online on different sites here and there, but in a totally different way. I decided to open up about my life on profiles, in some
ways, that are revealing, but then again I don’t mention the drama that I have
had in my real life very much in online chat. I do mention some things that
bother me and appear to be drama but you or anyone else wouldn't know why they bother me so it makes
no difference at all. I should just
write about the color blue as a topic so I do not offend anyone but that would be
boring. By offending someone means that
I am hitting on a sensitive nerve and they are thin skinned. But if someone who reads my words here online
does not understand what I mean, they wouldn't know it.
Being a rock n roll fan allowed some benefit that other rock fans
share. It is a connection beyond our
personalities to a common interest. I
vote for that candidate and someone may vote for the other person but when the
music is on, we both vote for rock. I
like that about music. If anyone wants
to tune into my world all they have to do is plug me into high voltage rock n
roll. You will have my full attention.
Now here is the part where I invite you to join me. This is social media and you are being social by looking at this so be a friend and leave a comment. Tell me on the comments section your favorite
band or better yet your favorite song or style of music.
I will give you some help and ask a question. Just one question for those who like one word
answers.
Do you rock?
