For the very few people I know here, I just wanted to give a brief update.
I've been working my tail off wihich has provided some accolades, a possible promotion, and a definite transfer to Naples, Italy probably sometime next month. I have limited lifetime to work with, and I put a comfortable retirement for myself and my family above being considered a prolific writer on Joeuser. Only a few people get what I'm driving at most of the time anyway, and those that are able, by their very nature, will go to the places I paint pictures of on their own. The only difference will be whether I have talked about it or not.
I would probably write more, but I tire of having original thoughts washed away in a sea of point squabbles, shock pieces, music critiques by non-musicians, and political whining, so when I do come here, it's for me. Such a novel concept.
To the collective Joeuser:
I don't really give a fuck who reads my stuff. I don't care whether you think George Bush is the anti-christ or a saint, whether you think someone posted malicious replies on your blog and had to be banned, then unbanned, then banned again, then reported. I can't be bothered with most of your incredible collective pettiness and utter lack of anything remotely resembling an original thought. There are grand exceptions of course, and you know who you are.
Nor do I expect those of you wondering whether or not to be insulted by this to understand where I'm coming from. It would be impossible for you to without extensive reprogramming. I haven't the desire or attachment to the outcome required to try and convince you. Should you flick your mouse to the back button of your browser, I applaud the certainty of your decision. Should you reply with vitriol about my incredible arrogance, I will smile at the fact that I knew it was coming because "unoriginal" is highly predictable.
Now if you've gotten this far, you must be one of my friends/associates/brothers-sisters in mental/emotional/intellectual arms. If you wonder if I've "gone for good," I haven't. But I may choose to observe lengthy silences from time to time, or I simply may have nothing to say. Would that some more observe this philosophy, neh?
Cool?
Cool.
