The Notable Misadventures of Jason Fanning: A Desperate Post

A Desperate Post

Well this has been kind of a pointless week. Nothing of interest to merit. Went to a bar with Brennan on Friday. Didn't meet a girl or anything cool. Got a hold of a loritab and drank a lot of beer. Had band practice on Sunday, Dan and Scott were so baked we accomplished absolutely nothing. I'm currently reading The Sound and The Fury by William Faulkner, when I finish it I'll write a review in a vain attempt to maintain this blog. Sorry folks my life has been snooze-ville since I've started this thing. I should have kept one in college, I just didn't have a computer in those days. I'll some politics this week maybe write an opinion piece.

Here's hoping I have something to write about in the future. And it won't be due to a sense of desperation. :(

Trailer Bride, "Hope Is A Thing With Feathers"

Southern Gothic as good as Faulkner, cept in surround sound!

Blog Mission Statement

I still haven't figured out what this blog should be, initially I wanted to tell stories about my life. But outside of drunken political conversations and jamming on the guitar, it hasn't been interesting of late. I have another blog http://raymondchandler.livejournal.com/, I was initially going to use for my unpublished works of poetry and fiction I have, but sadly I forgot about the site until this past summer. As far as the The Notable Misadventures of Jason Fanning is concerned upon its initial start I was unable to discuss anything practical, my life isn't filled with as many notable misadventures as I'd like. I believe I may have this blog be random and devote the livejournal to fiction and poetry. Plus I have some recorded folk/alt. country/bluegrass music on http://www.myspace.com/jasonrfaning, check it out, I'll have new music up on it soon, I promise. So dear reader who might subscribe, I may eventually discuss not only fun filled rock n' roll nights I live, but history, economics, politics, philosophy, the media, or a whole slew of information depending on my mood. I'm a random sort of fellow.

Since last I wrote I have been busy lately to say the least. I've been meaning to re-enter the blogosphere world but I've either been distracted or had little to say. I have had a few notable misadventures, I just forget to share them. And seeing that I'm the only one who actually follows my blog, there's little incentive to write them down in the public realm. Never the less, I've written a rough draft for a tele-play called A Crime Suspense Story, my cousin Matt and I partnered up on the project. It's a dark suspense thriller that takes place in a Southern Gothic setting in a fictitious town in lower Alabama. It had a surreal, existential, Twin Peaks feel. We've however, decided to post-pone the project. We are currently working with my brother Lee on a screenplay for a mockumentary called Zombie Fish From Hell, it's about the making of B grade horror movie.

I've also started a band with a few fellows. We don't have a name yet unfortunately. We have a roots Americana kind of sound, a little blues, folk, country, and bluegrass. Which is perfect. I play guitar, harmonica, banjo, and occassionally mandolin within the confines of the band. I'm also the primary singer/songwriter of the band. It's slowly transforming into something I respect. So I'll posting more in the future.

I look forward to exploring my creativity with all y'all. Goodday.
