Yauch Loss Committee Part Two

Instead of jumping on the “R.I.P. to the celebrity” bandwagon, “top ten” train, or writing a straight article, I hoped to give some of my own thoughts and memories intercut with glimpses or additions to what’s already been written about the man I never knew was Nathanial Hörnblowér {I assumed it was a name for the whole band collaborating or Spike Jonze – and can you blame me?}.  Even if you skim this one…make sure to check the very last video.

Getting carried away as usual, I did the smart thing and separated the meat from the milk – the reminiscing from the eye candy (best I could). Since it took so long to get the first part off, I hope this still seems vaguely unique and current: though I feel mourning or reminiscing doesn’t have an expiration date.

If I had to peg a favorite Beastie live television performance, only one comes to mind. The MTV appearance with the band wearing suits and getting way into it was cool – as the old knocking stuff over and prankster days also had great examples; when they assumed everyone was in on the joke (Weird Al had a big presence at the time, so I knew what a good parody was.  Sorry, fratboys).

Mike Dorsey – March 23rd 2012

You should have been here.

You should have been thirty-four.

You should been unable to take my call: spending the time with your wife.  Your son.  A daughter- though she couldn’t lay eyes on you just yet.

I should have heard a story from my brother – making me jealous I missed another hangout session; or rather, jealous of whatever spirit was ingested during a celebration.

Instead, it’s a spirit I can only remember.

By now I should know what to call you – besides Mikey.

Instead: I know F (or L?) a bit.  I know C.  I kind of know S.  I should know them better.  I hope.  Just as I hope I did a good enough job listening and knowing who you are…

…because some questions still haven’t been answered.  You know I’m patient – sometimes too much so.  I wait.  I hope.

Maybe I’m here because I still have to try helping as many as you have.  If it can ever be counted.

I’m happy for what I ha[d]ve with you.

People say to celebrate.  Not mourn.  I’m trying.

Random public domain image…

I found this picture while trying to research something in my current Restless submission.

Could it be a deleted storyboard image from Cowboy Bebop?  Or a short story I need to write later?

Actually…

Hey, kids…

As if kiddies would be reading this.  They could, but the use of capitalization; as well as other things such as grammar, punctuation, and usual lack of “leet speak” usage; might all be too much.

This silly page thing is what I started up for at least 8 different reasons of a broad scope, but I am here now.

If I keep this up, it will look much nicer or unique I’m sure.  I had some people pester me into going to one of those social network type sites, and most of what I say isn’t read or cared too much for.  If I wanted to try to latch some ideas together for an actual train of thought, then that would not be the place to do it.

This is supposed to look just classy enough to make one read in a little bit before wondering why the heck and caring should be continued.

In the meantime…  I will be hoping to use this place to add my NaNoWriMo story for this year.  It starts November first, so I already have a nice jump on things.

I have been known to make many “ninja posts” in said previous blog.  This is my definition of sneaking something in by adjusting the date.  I have no clue if I can do the same here, but watch the skies.

Feel free to contact me for whatever reason you wish and I shall do my best to get back in touch with you; or at least post a reply.  If you are reading this sometime in November and nothing additional has been accomplished, I do apologize.
