Never a bad time to refresh on the relatively new Dave Chappelle material performed at the Laugh Factory. For all my fellas in the midst of divorce out there, things could be worse: You could get man-raped. So, y’know, keep your chin up….
But this bit of ‘bro’ humor reminds me that divorce blogging is at once an insular blog-tumblr thing that doesn’t figure to be consumed by those in the ‘real world’, but also another solid data point for a broader picture being plotted on the effects of ‘alpha male-capitalism’ on creativity, art, and relationships… Which is to say divorce blogging is tough, but someone’s gotta/should do it. And if a ‘divorced manhattanite’ decided to make some coin, they could probably help shape our definition of male/masculinity for the better. I was getting out of a long(ish) relationship when I started blogging, and it has made all the difference… to my vow of celibacy in the noble pursuit of mastering the blogging arts.
My apologies if I stepped on your toes (or heart) during my “this is divorce blogging” blackout (5 posts!) today. Signing off.
XOXO,
