I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

  1. Don't you dare! I feel that way sometimes and then I think about how much pleasure I get from exchanges with my blogger friends. Take a little break if you must, but don't quit. You did that already and we missed you greatly. Now where the heck is that Jesus post I was going to comment on?

  2. I agree with Doug B. Take a break. The one I just took did wonders for me.

  3. D-Ro,
    I'll e-mail you and try to talk some sense into you. Don't even think about leaving us hanging...AGAIN!

  4. I just started coming and was looking forward to reading more. I didn't know if when you said you'd answer my questions the other day if you meant on here or on Rain's site so I kept checking here too.
    What bores you about it?

  5. Before, when I quit, it was not by choice. This time it is, though. I really am so unfocused anymore, I kind of get overwhelmed with what I want to say. So I end up with 14 draft posts I never finish, and I'm not used to that. Touching Jesus was funny, though, don't know why I deleted that, except that it was just another example of re-blogging because I can't any longer post for myself!

  6. And you were missed, btw. Glad you're back. Where else might have found meatless meatballs? :) Maybe it's just a break I need to get more focused again. We'll see, but meantime I'm still there with you all.

  7. AGAIN .. like I said wasn't by choice last time. For now, though, as David Gates of Bread would say, "it don't matter me." :D I know you get that.

  8. All right, I confess I missed the questions, even though I flagged it to follow up. I'll do one more to answer, fr what it's worth. At least I'll have something to focus on, I might be able to complete something for a rare change lately.

  9. Hey D.R.! I hope you still comment with us on the other blogs, even if you're not posting on your own blog. You sound down and I know what that's like but just remember your funk will pass. I enjoy reading your writing, even your comments, so I hope you stick around cuz "Baby, I'm-a want you" to -ha. More Bread talk for you.

    What about doing impromptu free-flow podcasts sometimes when the mood strikes? It might eliminate your ennui problem and you have a great speaking voice.

  24. Doug, I've been out of the loop for a while. I came on your blog by chance to see if you were up and running again. So sorry to hear about your stroke. My sis, only 37, had a stroke a few months ago. Scary times for sure. I do hope you are doing well.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

It Could Happen

I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published. Of course I hadn't written it yet, but I figured this proved I could do it, too, kept it for an affirmation thingy. Over the years I've remembered saving that s...
