Fear not, mortal

I'm not sure if anyone even likes the short little story I am writing cause I haven't gotten any feedback, but fear not, I will come back to it in the next post. I just needed a little break to write about other stuff for a minute or two. I am writing the short story cause I want to see what it is like and I wanted to do something a little different from most bloggers. If there is one thing that I have learned from this minor attempt at fiction writing is that writing it is really hard work. I am now 99% sure that I do not have the vast amount of creativity to ever write a "book". It really makes me respect someone with a published fiction book and absolutely marval at a person like Steven King who can crank out 1000 PAGES of material every year. Some people may think he is a hack who gets by on shoddy material and past brilliance, but I think the guy is a living legend who always performs. I would bet a lot of money your great great grand kids will be reading Steven King in high school english. Sure he is a twisted and strange nerd, probably not playing with a full deck but, the guy can create a honest something from thin air. This ability is why some of historys greatest authors are considered god's. (Is that a thunder cloud forming over PoVegas?) If I was an authority on books and got to bestow "status" to authors, thats what I would title the top level status. God's at the top, Hecules's in the middle, and mortals at the bottom. (side note: Sparks is too young with not enough material to be considered in any way yet, but I am baiting some floozy bimbo to attack me cause she loves "The Notebook". Other authors considered here were: JK Rowlings and probably Oprah)

I spend a lot of time reading other people's blogs, and yeah shut up, I do have a life. Many of them I read consistently, and the authors probably don't even know it? I think a lot of reading blogs is a secret devotion to someone elses creative outlet, i.e stalking. People are very guarded about their personal creativity, but even more so I think, people are guarded about showing their appreciation for others creativity. Unless you're big time like The Superficial, Dave Barry, Perez Hilton, etc. there is a good chance you get maybe 1-3 comments; and they are from your close friends/relatives. But, there has to be more people out there who enjoy my crappola and other people's crappola. I have 600 sum odd profile views, about 100 of which are me checking to see how many profile views I have, but that isn't an accurate reflection of how many views my posts get per day. I would really like to know the size of my audience, and sometimes I think I would be more comfortable with a smaller than expected audience than a more than expected audience. So if you are out there in Internet Land with tape on your glasses and an Anime/WoW t-shirt on (computer nerd) and know an easy way (so easy a caveman could do it) to insert some kind of ticker on my blog, feel free to comment/e-mail me. Which, by the by, is a great way to expand your audience a little I have found. Comment on someone elses blog using your blogger ID and surely a few people will check you out. I make it a point to comment on at least one new blog I enjoy a month. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, and all that jazz.

You may be wondering where this sudden splurge of blog activity has come from. Well its due to the fact that my home boy Grzylle fo Shzylle, loyal fan of Forgetting his Brain, has new employment and no longer has the ability to chat with me on the Instant Messenger. He should be back soon however, but maybe he will take one for the team and chat with me every other day so I can get back to blogging full time. Either way, I enjoy my day and thats "le objectiva numero uno", which may even be real Spanish!
