Yes. Yes. I know what I said (wrote).
And I was sober when I wrote it.
And I meant ever’ word.
When I wrote it.
But
I am suffering second thoughts.
Because I love sharing vids, photos, images, gifs, and even, sometimes, writing… and all that jazz. Never thinking all these ‘added value’ adds did not enrich my posts, I just kept on doing it. Doing it to the point whereby I thought I was getting pretty damn good at it. But I may be deluding myself.
It is just FUN to ‘Build’ Posts using such ‘crutches’ as I call them. But if I do not use the tools available to me, am I not doing a disservice to my readers? (All five of you—yes—my ‘hits’ have expanded exponentially of late. Don’t know why)
I mean, a lot of thoughts (Mine) go into selecting all of that “Added” Value (Theirs). But Nothing is happenstance.
No Brag; Just Fact…
Yet
I am not Poe.
I am not Shakespeare.
I am not Hemingway.
Shit, I ain’t even Ogden Nash.

But, I can write decent ‘stand-alone’ shit.
Perhaps I can do both.
Use the multi-media ‘added value’ to grab the attention.
But also, spend more time actually doing ‘serious’ writing. Most certainly I have the time. I got no woman to distract me (Alas). I have no job (Not Alas) I have my health (For now) What is to stop me?

It is my very heart-felt desire to make your visits here entertaining.
To make you laugh.
To make you smile.
To make you feel just a little bit better about shit.
To entertain you, even if just for a fleeting moment.

Most of Y’all never watch the added value stuff anyway. And I have honestly admitted that most of the time, it is added for my own entertainment and edification.
Not unlike a fool who laughs at his own jokes.
(I am trying real hard to go somewhere with this—to convey heart-felt musings—wish my muse had not left me. –Old series, which some of you have read: “Abusive Muse”)
Anyhow,
Trying to tie-up these thoughts:
I respect my readers.
I respect the time of my readers.
I want to entertain my readers.
I want my readers to enjoy themselves when they come into “My House” for a visit.
“Come in. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y’all come back now, ya hear?”
Please HBO here (Help a Brother Out)
I value Y’all’s opinion.
Really need some feedback on this one Kids.
(Not fishin’ for compliments, nor accolades, just honest opinions. Do Y’all enjoy the Multi-Media Stuff, or does it more bore you?)

Drive Thru.
However Anon,
I knew a gurl once.
She could spell.
She was gonna have that on her tombstone:
“Here lies (name redacted), she could spell.”
Dear Anon, one last ponder:
Only some?
I thought everyone loved all of my shit.
The whole ball’o’wax.
The entire canon…. or is that cannon?
Spelling ain’t never ben my thang.
Anon, Mick, right? Ulyseeeeseees? Oh yeah. I read that, but had to read it stoned, so I have lost most, if not all, of ….. It.
Dear Anon,
Who is James Joyce?
If you’re laughing at your own jokes at least that makes one person, which is better than zero. So I say write what you like. (For the record I have found some of your content extremely entertaining, especially the stuff about the English teacher who liked James Joyce.)
Hi Barbara,
Thank you very much for feed-backin’.
Yeah, I know: Sometimes, too much.
I have a tendency to get carried away.
“Brevity is the soul of wit” was never my mantra.
I will take your advice.
And yes. I remember when RP had his show.
And concur:
They must have been crazy.
I like most of them a lot (especially the oldie hippie music), but sometimes they’re just too many. But instead of not doing any, how about cutting down the quantity some? By the way, I loved the Richard Pryor one – do you remember when they gave him his own prime time T.V. show? They must have been crazy, although it was funny as hell.
