You know how ABC yanked "The One: Making Of A Music Star" after two episodes because it sucked so much?

I've done the same thing to my jazz blog. It sucked but not quite as badly.

Here's the thing about me and the piano. I'm undisciplined. Completely. I play what I want, whether it's a standard or some Beatles. I don't "practice" so much as I sit down and play, and I think changing the blog from what it was to a jazz-centric blog served as a mechanism to make me practice more and better.

It didn't work. In fact, I became completely bored with myself, listening to albums I didn't care about, pretending to love a genre of music I oddly enough can play but have never really cared for outside of a few select artists. Herbie Hancock. Miles Davis. Bill Evans. Vince Guaraldi. Oscar Peterson.

I could include 20-25 more on that list.

However, that part of my life and blogging is done. It's time to move on to bigger and better blogs, like this one, which pretty much will encompass what I've always wanted to maintain a blog about: my pop-cultured life.

What do I like to talk about? Hmmm. Simple.

What I hear on the radio, watch on TV, see on the news, read in the magazine or newspaper and me.

If that sounds like it could interest you, continue on. If not, I'll likely continue to bore you just as inept jazz reviews did. One of the reasons I made the switch from an Oklahoma-based news type of blog to a jazz blog was to give the site more focus while drawing me away from topics that raised my stress level: politics, the economy, religion.

Both sides of the political spectrum are completely self-righteous. The macro-economy is excellent right now, but what's frustrating are the millions of micro-economies across the country that are one paycheck from homelessness. And, religion isn't worth the effort of discussion.

For example, I've got friends who literally flipped out when I told them I was considering Catholicism. Why? Their stance on abortion and they don't like Mother Teresa. That sounds like a criticism, but it isn't. It's good to have that yang to a ying.

My stance on abortion still is that it ought to be completely illegal outside of cases of rape, incest or the health of the mother. Guess what?

That's not a fun topic at dinner parties, so I avoid it here.

The Catholic Church is also right in my opinion as it pertains to immigration, the war in the Middle East and religion's role in science, which church leaders firmly believe can be intertwined -- that is, science can be part of religion, not the other way around.

Nevertheless, without having somebody upon which I can bounce my fanciful ideas, even if a little nutty, I might go off and do something I regret or that isn't really totally simpatico with my value system.

Besides, the every-sperm-is-precious schtick is a bit more than I can handle though because God knows I waste a lot of those li'l bastards. So, I'm having second thoughts about Catholicism in that regard.

I mean, if I'm killin' a precious life every time I see a Mary Tyler Moore episode or Angie Dickinson drama, the good, sweet Pope won't like me claiming membership, no?

Anyway, these are all serious topics that interest me somewhat, among many others. Nevertheless, I'm keeping those to myself and striving to work toward some semblance of spirituality that fits my world perspective, my value structure and my schedule.

You'll never know what that is. Probably.

This blog is all about fun stuff. Reality television. Sports. Music. Movies. Stuff happening in OKC and Norman.

Reviews. Lists. Links. Sarcasm. Gossip.

Let's put it this way: If you actually get smarter from reading this blog over the next several months, I have done something completely wrong.
