this is a first. always have the audience to my words been somewhat capitive. at least known. but this format lends itself to the anonymous soapbox. who’ll read this? who’ll know, if read, if it will be digested? who’ll care? herein lies The Folly of the Blog: who really cares?

i suspect that its more important, in some situations, to be heard then to have the meat & potatoes of your words be digested accurately. got to let them go eventually; once spoken, you’ve little control over how they are digested. thus we seek as desireable an audience as possible. so as to minimise confusion or to ease the palletability of the subject.
but when a petty author has a literary tailwind such as Archibald Jude for inspiration, its little wonder how/when shit will come to the surface. I mean, i talk to him, and he does listen. he means well. but he’s got an attention-span that last about as long as a yellow traffic light.
