Okay:
And so my Internet is still off. I just can't get over the irony of all this. The album drops in a week, and I can't promote it the way I planned. It's all fucked up, man. Somebody out there wants me to fail.
Maybe that someone is me.
Maybe I have sabotaged myself and made it absolutely impossible for me to be successful in this venture. Maybe I secretly want to remain an unknown, frustrated independent artist.
But that's a downer, now isn't it?
In lighter news, I have recommitted myself to celibacy.
You heard me. Celibacy.
I have had it. It's all too complicated. I know some of my regular readers may be laughing their asses off. "You've said this before, Cee Brown," they might be saying. But I'm serious this time.
I've had enough. I'm full. I'm backing away from the table.
"What brings this about?" you ask? I had me what they call an epiphany.
A metaphor, if you will.
I also stopped eating meat recently. I woke up one morning and said, "To hell with all this shit."
Not because I'm some kind of animal-freak or a Buddhist or whatever. I give two shits how many chickens Farmer Joe kills every year. I just decided I wasn't getting anything good out of it anymore. Beef sometimes disagrees with my stomach. Pork is gross. And, chicken...well, chicken is delicious actually. But, dammit, you've gotta take a stand at some point. And so I stopped.
I feel similarly about sex. I don't want another kid. I don't want an STD. And I don't want a girlfriend. Odds are, the more I have sex, the more likely I am to get one of the aforementioned undesirables. So, until further notice, I am closing down the shop.
We may open our doors again one day, but for now, let's just say we're closed for renovations.
In other news, Joe came over this weekend and helped me put the finishing touches on the album. We drank a few beers and put some work in. Now I'm just doing some mixing and trying to finalize the track listing.
I have some more exclusives coming up this week as we draw closer and closer still to Labor Day. The new "Cucumber" video has 42 views so far. The "Love's Holiday" video is at 133.
It's funny, converting art into numbers. But I guess this is something like the celibacy thing. I am also going to be abstaining from poverty for the indefinite future.
I will also be abstaining from beer, which is delicious but chock-full of calories.
And reality television.
And happy hour.
And church.
Here are those videos in case you missed them.
Thanks for reading.
GOBAMA!...AND BIDEN.

You made me laugh; a couple of times actually. Not laughing @ you though. Just the cynicism in your writing. I'll be on the look out for your new project and I will try to spread the love since you have limited resources ... are you giving up too much at once?
I think you may be having some temporary "no internet" withdrawal symptoms. To give up meat and sex on the same day is just not natural.
Give it a few days after your internet service comes back on. You'll be at happy hour, drinking beers, eating hot wings and then you'll wake up the next morning and fix fried egg and bologna sandwiches for you and the girl in your room while you watch who wants to work for Diddy...
Im just kidding. More power to you on the abstinence thing... It's hard.
No pun intended.
