I think you're kinda right, but have got me all wrong:
My blog will "sneer at, look down upon and pluck at [you] incessantly" - that's it's "macho" hook - but not me. I'm a sweetheart. Evidence:
Today I had a lunch date with a guy I've been Best Friends with since I was 18 (I'm now over 50) and - get this - he's a Mormon!
My point is, don't confuse the messenger, or the message, with the medium.
You'd have to read this whole blog - now 6, 427 pages - or many posts, going forward, to appreciate all the nuances of what I'm saying. It would be easy in person but, unfortunately, few are interested in interviewing or debating me, so a lot of it can get lost amid the sniping my style engenders. (I once got invited on a Christian radio program and not only did it go swimmingly but they voted me one the most fascinating guests they'd ever had.) I don't always mind the misconceptions - it makes it easier to weed out the knuckleheads - but I look down on no one:
I hate bad ideas.
Anyway, "thank you" for the kind words, and I hope you stick around long enough to get the full picture:
I am reminded of people I knew with that video.
ReplyDeletei think you forgot ~sad~, crack.
ReplyDeleteOn the outside, all these people are strangers-- unidentifiable... on the inside, confusion and frustration rule familiar.
What do you think of this, crack?
Your writing style is illustrated poetry. Even when i am someone you would sneer at, look down upon and pluck at incessantly-- i admire you greatly.
karen,
