::cues up “O Fortuna”::

Greetings, all.

It’s your least favorite short person/blogger/rapper/recent graduate, giving this whole web-logging thing the good ol’ (5th) college try. A lot has changed since the last post I did. For one, I have officially retired the “King Leon” moniker, after the upcoming double EP—which is basically just an album, if you think about it—Baby, Even Cool Kings Yearn…/The King is Dead. If you can’t understand what I’m getting at with the double title, Captain Obvious needs to pay you a visit and crack your head open, Nicky Santoro -style.

::turns O Fortuna off::

Geez, can’t there ever be a kick-a** moment without using that trite piece of orchestrated genius? Like, seriously, whenever something that is supposed to give you the “OMG” factor, someone ramps up the Orff Machine to 12 and lets the cliche fly. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love classical music, but there’s more classical music than just O Fortuna, Mozart and Beethoven. Heck, there’s more to Orff than O Fortuna (which is actually a segment of Carmina Burana, a play quite the fancy of Nazi Germany).

But, enough about classical music. I honestly don’t know what to talk about nowadays. At least back last year I had shilling my music and talking about other DMV artists’ tracks–along with a healthy dose of pop culture analysis. But, IDK (my BFF Jill), perhaps it’s the fact that I’m a working man now, but something isn’t clicking with that aspect of the weblogging world, at least right now. Perhaps later, but not right now.

Nevertheless, I announce my return (to the 3 people that actually follow this blog).
