IF I'M LYING I'M DYING

And I may be. Haven't had a chest X-ray in four years.

I don't care for marketing this site. I don't link much, probably because I tend to read a lot of shit that isn't worth pimping, and I don't comment much, unless a truly despicable insult rises to mind.

I can market ice to the proverbial Eskimo, crack to Sean Penn, oil to a Bush.

Which means I am equally capable of demarketing. And I do demarket this site. What one might construe controversial here is not designed to engender outraged comments, or links from huffer puffers. They are actually designed to chase the rubberneckers away.

And hits are bullshit. At least 60% of my hits are from people who came across me through some misguided search engine fiasco, who lave their filthy hands and flush their impugned eyes with Murine.

There are those who claim everyone craves the hits. To which I say, well, maybe you do.

This is exactly why I read you. I haven't laughed this hard all day.

"lave their filthy hands and flush their impugned eyes with Murine"

No, that's not correct. I read you for a laugh but your stories from your youth, I savor and look forward to reading slowly and great delight.

You are a strange man. But I am fascinated.

I show up looking for pictures of African Sex Toys, I was always disappointed until yesterday.

And the free Quaaludes.

I read you cuz I learn a new word (or 3 or 4)every day!
If I went by my comments, I'd think nobody even read my silly blog. I don't give a rat's ass about hits, how many comments (although I love every one) or how many people have me on their blog roll. I think the people that do are just sad little people.

I write for me. The fact anyone comes back to read what goes on in my crazy life, continues to surprise me. I don't write for others. I write for me. I can't get wrapped up in the rest... my life is too short as it is and I need to live it.

Hell, I visit here a few times a day, regardless of what's going on in the postings. Hinky tights do that.

Damn, Eric.

Four sets of ellipses in one sentence... impressive!
