The World Will Be Waiting

I have managed to delay the inevitable update drought for another week!  Not only did I finish the next chapter of The World Will Be Waiting on time, but I’m actually posting it super early in the day instead of late!  I’m going to be away from home this weekend, so I figured I’d update while I can do it on my desktop computer, since I’m a geriatric millennial who still prefers to use a mouse over a touchpad.  Chapter 39 is up!  And because I know you’re going to want to listen to the song when you read it, here’s an excuse to watch the video for “Show ‘Em (What You’re Made Of).” 😍🤤  You’re welcome!

It’s been almost ten years since this music video was released, and as a Brian girl, I still have to pinch myself sometimes to prove it’s real.  I remember vividly where I was when Brian posted a shirtless pic from the set:  at the Port of Miami, standing in line to board the 2013 cruise.  What a great day that was!

I give “Take Care” a lot of credit for inspiring My Brother’s Keeper, but I’ve also drawn a lot of inspiration from “Show ‘Em (What You’re Made Of),” not only for the title of The World Will Be Waiting but even going back to MBK.  Even though the song hadn’t been written yet in the time period when MBK took place, I made a few references to its lyrics that I call back to in this chapter.  I hope you enjoy it!

For anyone else who has joined Threads, I’m @RokofAges75 there just like on Twitter.  Follow me if you wish!  I will still be using Twitter as long as the people I follow do, as I much prefer its organization to Threads, but it’s always good to have other options.
