laughter, laughter all around
for you see i am a clown
the make-up, the hat, i’m loved by the crowd
the crowd disperses, i exit to my chambers
the creature within now becomes angered
the satisfaction of slaughter shall be savored
you laugh at me now, you laughed at me then
it’s your demise that now begins
in my presence all have sinned
Early poetry from James. From the poetry collection Pariah Bound: The Lonesome Poetry.
Overall, not much is changing for the website this month. I’m sticking with the usual things as my pageviews each month continue to grow. We broke 500 pageviews for the month of June. Woot! I’ve stepped away from most social media to focus on the blog and website and things. I would like to have more videos on my YouTube Channel, but I don’t plan to work on any of that for the moment. I’m in the process of searching for a new apartment. That’s taking up most of my time this week.
Some new things I’m trying will include special blog posts. This is not your regularly scheduled programming. A couple extra posts here or there along with the usual things. I have a post every single day and now I’m expanding to throw in two posts a day. Maybe only once a week, but we shall see. If I feel the need to write something, I will write and post it. You’ll just have to read it and tell all your friends. I would enjoy hearing from you kind readers of my blog what you would like to read more about. Be it a specific topic or something random and new, I want to hear from you.
At some point I will try some new advertising and marketing avenues for my books. They fit my budget and perhaps cost to profit ratio will improve. I always get results, but the sales never justify the cost. I’ll let folks know how that goes in a post somewhere in the future. I hope to have many new things to talk about in August. It’s just around the corner but it still feels so far away. I’m sure the world will see several more disasters between now and then. I’m still convinced a ragtag team of special ops Bees took down the murder hornet threat. That’s why they disappeared.
Welcome to the first Wacky Wednesday of July! I’m your host and we’ve got some cool and exciting things happening in this post. Our first wacky word is about words. Logomachy is a noun meaning a dispute about words or a controversy marked by verbiage. These are the kind of arguments politicians have. They might agree on terms but complain about the verbiage and word usage. It’s an easy way to filibuster. Our next word is a variation of a term many know. You might be familiar with couch potato. I present the noun Mouse Potato which means the same thing but instead of a couch, the person spends their time in front of a computer.
For our holidays today, we have National Postal Worker Day and, appropriately, National U.S. Postage Stamp Day. The first postage stamp was issued in 1847. Stamps were not required back then, and the recipient would pay for the delivery. Stamps became mandatory in 1855. National Postal Worker Day began in 1997. Today is also National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day and National Gingersnap Day. These go well together because I’ve had a gingersnap ice cream. It was basically a vanilla ice cream with gingersnap cookies mixed in. Still a delicious ice cream but not recommended for anyone with an allergy to gluten.
