Okay, I’ve got things more or less populated on the site. According to the metrics from this morning, I’m still just shouting at the metaphorical trees, but I am optimistic that I’ll catch someone’s attention with my carnival show.
I added a Donation page after much internal wrestling and I can’t tell if it’s just gauche or thirsty. Probably both. Anyway, I’m on a fixed income and I can’t hold a straight job anymore due to my long-abused brain pushing back and hollerin’ “Whoa there, buckaroo! Let’s get you downshifted and in the slow lane express”.
I’m still struggling with the new reality, but as with all life-changing events, it’s a process and I will pass through it in its own time. I think I’m emerging from the grieving period for my former life, and this project is a way to help me get up in the morning and not slide into the abyss of day-drinking and daytime television, or even more horrific: YouTube and TikTok.
Anyway, this blog is my way of sharing my thoughts and reactions to a variety of stimuli. It’s raw, and that’s intentional as I apply polish on other occasions for different forms of expression. But expression is my goal here, and I hope a few of you will join me to see what I pull out of my… hat.
FYI: This blog could get PG-13 to R rating. I’m an elder Gen-X’r and my humor could be a little rough and insensitive. Consider this a trigger warning for the whole site. And most of all, have fun watching me try to do something meaningful, even if it’s only meaningful to myself as I am truly the only critic that I have to keep happy.
Or so I’ve heard. Shall we go?
