Hello, and welcome to the “all new” Ramblings and Disorganized Drivel of Hooligan D blog. I am the hooligan, the “D” stands for Don and this is my blog.

I began this blog five years ago because I am a sucker for peer pressure (everyone else was doing it) and it seemed like it could be fun. When I began the blog it really had no direction and blindly I had no idea how or what I was doing so unless you’d enjoy some goofy poems I wouldn’t even bother with the archived posts prior to 2011.

The new direction with the blog will be along the lines of what the name suggests; ramblings and disorganized drivel. Basically it will be whatever I feel like talking about at the time. It could be a vehicle to display any new artwork I have created (did I mention that I am an artist), a talk about sports (rants about my favorite teams and their inability to keep me from having to rant about them) or maybe even a goofy poem now and then. Mostly it will probably be about my favorite subject and that is music. I have an extensive library and knowledge of music (I think that I could have done really well on that old Rock N Roll Jeopardy show that was on VH1 for a few years) that I feel like sharing with the world.

Some of the music will be well known to most while others will be very obscure and probably unheard of for the most part. It will not be album reviews because I can’t stand and usually disagree with critics anyway, but will be more of here is this group, this is their genre and a few samples so you can decide for yourself. I know that personally I have discovered some of my favorites groups by accident through a music review or just thumbing through the discount section in a music store and trying a band that just has a cool or unusual name.

Currently I am planning on this being a weekly blog, but may change that as time goes on. I do not know who, or if anyone will read my blog, but I figure, even if no one does, it will still give me a creative outlet to talk or ramble on and will, hopefully, keep me from just aimlessly staring at the same handful of websites for hours at a time.

So, with that, “Le……………….t’s get ready to Ramble!”

THE HITMAN

Nervously waiting in the wings,
The battle is on the line,
A lifetime sharpening your skills,
Nearly, it is your time;

Scouts dispatched long ago,
Count them one, two, three,
Be lady luck on your side,
Thy kingdoms hero you will be;

Super soldier, marksman supreme,
You are the hired gun,
Will turn ones day into living hell,
To have your moment in the sun;

Bloodcurdling a voice cries out,
Another ally has fallen,
Opportunity quickly fading,
Onlookers have all turned sullen;

You step out into the light,
Last attempt at the assassination plan,
From the angry mob, a battle cry,
"Just get a hit man!"
