Wow! It’s All True. Cool!
Oh, My, Gosh! It turns out the hits are real. There are several hundred people a day looking at this page. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I link to some pretty great people and well, with all the technology some of that linkage comes back to me. ( Have I mentioned yet how much I appreciate technology? No. Well. . .Technology rocks! )
Small problem. I figured out that something was actually wrong with the comment thing. I think/hope it's fixed now. So. . . comment away. ( I'm pretty sure I'm 'controversial' enough. Somebody ought to want to at least tell me what a 'jerk' I am.) Otherwise, if you're just looking, I appreciate that very much and I hope you enjoy this place. ( I hate the word 'lurking'. I 'look' at other peoples blogs alot without commenting. 'Lurking' makes it sound like you're stalking somebody. No. I don't like that word. )
Please don't comment about my grammar or punctuation ( unless you do it with humor. ) I've said before, 'I'm no English teacher.' I don't write to be technically perfect. I write to get ideas out. Ideas don't give a dang about grammar or elipses. Ideas come, I write them down (a. k. a. type them,) they're out, they leave me alone and let me get some sleep. Language changes completely about every fifty or so years, anyway. Most likely, in the near future punctuation and grammar will be subjective ( I think that's the word) anyway. I mean that you'll be able to use it or not and it won't matter. I mean, information is the thing. To me, it's always been the thing. It shouldn't matter how it comes as long as it's real information. I've always thought it shouldn't matter how someone is exposed to, say, Shakespeare, as long as they get the exposure. Television is a wonderful medium and if SpongeBob SquarePants could teach my kid Hamlet or All's Well That End's Well, that would be peachy with me. Later, if she has the desire to see the text in the original English she can go to a library, or a museum (or to the web page) and see it. Maybe she'll even take a trip to England and see the places where it was all written. But first you have to get the idea into her. Interest her. Get her the information. (Even without punctuation.)
That paragraph was way too long and I admit it. I get 'long thoughts'. I think that's one reason I've never completed a novel. If I started one it would wind up being 7000 pages long. (I've got three story ideas that basically cover a lot of time. I've thought of turning them into epic serial books but then I'd just be writing forty 500 page books and that would be just as bad. Who wants to wade through all that to get to a completion that might not even be all that great? Ehem Mr. Ehem Steven Ehem King.) That's why I'm working on my poetry right now. But poetry is slow going. It's a thing that demands a muse, and I've recently lost mine. ( If curiosity kills the cat the disappointment and disillusionment often kill the muse. ) I'm searching for another, if anyone knows of one leave a comment or an e-mail and let me know.
I must go now and start a new section of my site. It'll be called "In Memory" and will be about my life and all the stuff that has happened that I can remember and some that I can't. Amazingly, enough has happened in my life that I can write something like that. (I'll comment about the bad stuff as a warning and the good stuff as a reminder of how things can be and should be.)
O. K. that was the last bracket for this post. I promise. I'll be back later today with some thoughts about the news. But for now, goodbye.
