Dear Readers:

Every so often, something beautiful in our lives passes on. We find sadness in this because we can no longer see it, feel it, or be near it. However we can smile at the fact that these things live on in our memory and in our spirit. Thank you traveling with me through this five year blog journey called “BrooklynBoyBlues.” Today that journey officially comes to a close.

When I began writing in 2005, I was a wide-eyed 21 year old with three dangerous possessions at my disposal: 1) a camera 2) an appetite for underground culture and 3) a watered-down scholarly opinion on just about everything.

Much has changed since then, and I barely recognize that naïve young man from a few years ago. So as you look back on the contents of this blog, be gentle. Hold on to my words like a souvenir and smile upon them as if looking back upon an old photo album. Let these scattered posts linger in your mind like a rumor, or like your first kiss.

And if you see me walking the streets of New York City, go ahead an pull-me to the side. We’re family.

Much love,
FLR
