Every once in a while, someone will ask me about the title of my blog. I get that same look you get when a dog tips his head, and they ask, \u201cWhat does it mean \u2018Searching for Bronson\u2019?\u201d I\u2019ve been thinking of changing the title again just to keep everyone guessing, but before I do, I thought I\u2019d explain why I chose it.<\/p>\n
In the late 60\u2019s, there was a TV show called, \u201cThen Came Bronson.\u201d It starred Michael Parks as Jim Bronson, a loner that rides a motorcycle across the country trying to renew his soul. The show opens with tragedy as he loses a friend to suicide. Faced with the dilemma of continuing on in his executive lifestyle, living the corporate dream of climbing the ladder to success, and kissing a few behinds to get there, he decides to drop out and become a vagabond of sorts. His travels take him to different areas of the west where he imparts his values and morals to a lot of mixed up people. Most of the time \u2013 it seemed to me \u2013 it involved a pretty girl in some way or another. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m not sure if he ever found the meaning of life in all of his travels (the show only lasted two seasons), but I would have liked to ask him. Back east, I used to run with deer in the meadows at night, and it was probably just as enlightening as searching for Bronson. Who knew? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
