Good Writing Is Hard

Good Writing Is Hard
As I was saying yesterday, it feels good to be working in a secure job and affording some small hope for my future. My longest stretch of unemployment began in 2007, during the initial rape of my online accounts by certain performers and stars, and continued through the inadvertent reconstruction of my first hit song, Size, in 2010, all the way to 2019. From 2010 to 2019, I rewrote over one thousand comedy sketches, almost 200 songs, and 236 pages of poetry, besides reconstructing over forty cartoons. That was more than enough to keep me occupied through that period, and there's no way I could have recovered so much work if I'd have had to work full-time in a job like the one I'm doing now.

I have always been a person of abundant energy who is attracted to a challenging struggle. My comedy scripts were one such struggle. It isn't easy to write an effective comedy script. It took years of effort for me to master this skill, and even now, I still have to work very hard if I want to produce a decent result. And writing a good song is even harder. Man, I broke my back sitting in front of my computer night after night, recording and re-recording bass lines and guitar parts, and lining up rhythm sections. I can see why it was so easy for the broadcasters to make you all think that my output belonged to a hundred different people. But did they want you to think that their frauds were all harder workers than I am? Well, with that in mind, maybe you can see why I wanted to keep catching up with my old material all those years before I returned to the workplace. Hope it didn't make me a bum to want my songs back from the Rolling Stones and my blogs and poems back from Saturday Night Live.

You Call That Fraud?

You Call That Fraud? Nov 15/2020: Just one more little note to say that I saw a science video that very effectively debunked the technical claims of 911 conspiracy theorists with regard to fires and controlled demolitions. There are still a lot of unanswered questions for me about that day but I am starting to find myself more agreeable to other explanations outside of conspiracy theories. I'm reasonable that way.[End of Insertion.] There has been a lot of talk about fraud these days and I have had a long personal experience with fraud. I have been complaining about the entertainment fraud that was committed on a vast scale against my blogs over the last twenty years or so online. I have evidence of the fraud that was committed against me but it is too late to have anything done about it now. I was unable to secure legal help at the critical time because I lacked money. My evidence of the fraud committed against me is this Blogger account. The links below these pa...

Special Delivery

Special Delivery I have been following the war, mostly on DW News. Again, I stand firmly with Ukraine. I hope the Ukrainians can stop Putin in his tank tracks, not just for their own sake, but because Poland may be next otherwise. Poland is a NATO country, which would drag my country of Canada into the war, and I don't want to be in a war. Who would want that? We need to avoid that until the last possible moment. But, for what it's worth, I have given some thought to how we might slip those replacement Migs across the Poland-Ukraine border. I suggest we disassemble them and disguise the parts as cleaning equipment, perhaps industrial vacuum cleaners or something. Yes, I'm sure Kyiv could use a good vacuuming after all those artillery shells. I'll tell you something else, my gasoline consumption is zero. Putin never got a cent out of me, because I can walk to work in ten minutes. I don't mean to joke around too much through such sad and serious time...

Poetry Can Hurt

Poetry Can Hurt I've just heard about the Dr Seuss ban and it doesn't upset me at all. I don't read Dr Seuss anymore. As for racially insensitive imagery, if it upsets visible minorities, I give them the benefit of the doubt on it. I'm white, so my eye misses those kinds of details in children's books. But you can tell he ranked the 'whos' above other races. Remember that scene in the Grinch that Stole Christmas where they're all singing 'Gottes Sohn Ist Kommen' and one of the grown-ups picks up little Cindy Loo Who so she can adorn the portrait of the fuehrer with her wreath? Sorry, I know I shouldn't be joking around about it too much. Poetry ought not to hurt anyone. Oh, by the way, there were an awful lot of rhyming verses being broadcast to millions of people from 2007 to 2011, or so, that brought terrible harm to someone. That someone was me, their author. What kind of monstrous illusion is created by putting sweet stolen...
