This is a busy time of year for me. My days consist of waking up well before dawn, going into work, coming home well after sundown, spending time with my child, then passing out so I can do the whole thing over the next day. Sure, I would love to have time to churn out an installment The Justice League everyday, but until Emperor England is elevated to his rightful throne and adds two hours to the day, that just cannot happen.
To supplement my production, I got an idea. While my son was emptying out the CD cabinet of our entertainment center so he could hear the jewel cases clatter against the ground, I noticed an album I had forgotten about long ago--Dr. Dre presents...The Aftermath. Despite top billing, Dr. Dre really only performed on one song, the rest of the tracks were by artists Dre had recruited. That's when it hit me: There have to be other like minded people out there who want to do what we at TheLostOgle do, at least on a guest basis. Lost-LostOgles, if you will.
So I began recruiting people I knew to write an article for this series, and while a few showed interest, none have actually followed through. Then one day I am sitting at home when the phone rings and a lady from the "Make A Wish Foundation" is on the line. After eviscerating her for calling me during a Scrubs re-run, I let her make the pitch. A sick child by the name of Little Timmy (before you ask, Little is his given name) had made a request that he be able to write for this website. I figured, "Hey, I might as well give him a shot," especially after the lady explained that Little was suffering from the awful stomach flu that has been going around and offering an autographed picture of Mike Turpin.
