With my first blog, I'd like to talk about something profound.

However, that probably won't happen.

I had been thinking about blogging for a while - thought it'd be something cool to do - but something always kept me from doing it.

I am so blessed with my friends and family... there are lots of them out there helping me come up with ideas how I can market "Cancerboy" . This blog was something my brother suggested, and since I'd thought about it in the past, I figured now was as good a time as any to get started.

While I learn some - no doubt - painful lessons how to blog like the blogging gods, I hope everyone sticks with this. You never know what comes into - and out of - my head!

Just to get things started, I'm spinning Abbey Road on vinyl, and thought I'd talk about a dream I had the other night.

In this dream, I attended a "show" about John Lennon. Why John Lennon?? I have no idea. Nonetheless, this show was one of the coolest things I've ever seen - in person or in a dream! In it, a John Lennon impersonator re-enacted some of the better known post-Beatles events - such as jamming onstage during the recording of "John Lennon - Live in New York City" . The band performed a few songs, then the stagelights went down, only to light up another section of stage, where actors were re-enacting the John and Yoko visit on the Mike Douglas Show...

After a couple of other scenes, the show finished up, and I went around to a side stage (the show was done on multiple stages around the theatre), and talked to the Lennon impersonator and got his autograph and got him to buy a copy of my book!

Now the really weird part is that I am not a huge fan of John Lennon. I respect and like a lot of his music, but I never really paid a whole lot of attention to the guy. So I had no reason to dream about him - nope, wasn't even listening to any of his music to trigger my memory. But since that dream the other night, I've noticed a whole lot of references to John on television and radio! WTF?!

So while we (I) ponder that, I reckon I'll put an end to blog #1.

Now on the turntable:
