The Brian Jost Report; A Third-Person Perspective
Here he is now, avoiding the avoiding, posting on his blog despite his fear of sharing anything personal with anyone other than his therapist. Good for him. Way to go Brian. This is a step in the direction of reconnecting with some people who Brian has been avoiding. He never meant to isolate himself the way in which he has been doing for years. The origin of Brian’s isolation has nothing to do with COVID-19, as Brian began hiding from others long before the pandemic began, however, the pandemic does play a big part in his continued isolation. He is using COVID as an excuse to not try to be around others. But that excuse has only been in action for less than a year, maybe since the world has attempted to return to some level of normalcy. Brian feels that he has lost all his friends over the last 10 to 15 years and he doesn’t know how to get them back. That’s probably not true. He may know how to do it, but he may simply be afraid of attempting to reconnect with those who he cares for, those he loves, those who have meant so much to him, but have slipped away from his life. Brian can’t ignore his suspicion that he simply needs to try harder.
Brian has more on his mind such as trying to understand how to share his music and writing, and how he is struggling to finish a musical screenplay (Or is it meant for the stage? Is it a movie? Is it an ongoing series? Maybe a musical audiobook?).
This song is currently titled “Looking for Inspiration,” composed and recorded by Brian Jost in March 2021. He has some lyrics to go with the music and is trying to figure out where (if at all) this song may fit into a screenplay idea he is struggling to finish.
Brian says “Bye for now. Thanks for reading and listening.”
