Since a lot of you have written asking what's going on, I'll tell you, I guess. Six months ago, I rescued a little puppy. Last week, I found out he has lymphoma and will need treatment immediately. I've been told it was caught early enough that his chances for survival are high, but time is of the essence and, well, the timing could not be worse. I am scouring the want ads hoping to take on a second job, but it has been a pretty disheartening search thus far. All of this has left me in a position where I just feel kind of silly; a grown man unable to afford the proper care for a pup he has come to love and cherish. It puts such things as music blogs in perspective and I just can't help but wonder if I'm not just a little bit crazy for putting so much time into such a frivolous venture.
The man hours and expenses invested in the music and writing I've made available here are many, to say the least and, thus, I am on my hands and knees before you all asking for assistance. If you've ever found this blog a pleasant escape from the humdrum of the work day, or found a track or two that you really enjoyed, I'm hoping you'll drop a buck or two in the donation jar, so to speak. Maybe I can keep this thing going. Without it, I am quite certain I cannot and that's a tough thing to wrap my head around.
I'm still touched beyond belief, of course, but yesterday's donations were quite a bit less than the previous couple of days and, thus, I find myself a little depressed. At this rate, He's A Whore won't make the goal of $1,000 to be able to continue "bringing you the rock" and I'll be forced to put this labor of love to rest.
Story of my life, I suppose.
Wow, does anybody else have the chorus of "Send Me An Angel" playing in their head, or is it just me?
I'm hopeful, though...and will continue blogging in hopes that we make the goal and I am able to take care of the personal affairs that have quite forcefully become my first priority.

Did you lose your job or something? Why the cash crunch?
sigh...my 1 yr old pup's been diagnosed with lymphoma (am told we've caught it early enough to be treatable/survivable). chemo's gonna cost an arm and a leg, though. i've sold all my equipment already, stuff i swore i'd never sell, but wasn't really worth that much anyway.
