My Life in a Playlist

Day 25: Steely Dan - Deacon Blues

I am not ready to explain or examine this part of my life with anyone at this time. Hell, I may never write about this part of my life. This song reminds me of what it was... and I'd like to add to this. I just can't discuss it in depth right now. It's still very raw, and picking at it is a bad idea.





Some people I thought were real, but were not. The strangest part of all of it, and I can say this much, it had a huge impact on my life. This was the group, met both online and off many times, that changed my whole view of the world. I've mentioned my "moral compass" before, and these people, and the reading I did, reset it. I like to think it made me a better man, even if most of them were full of shit.

I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be
