One, Two, Three, Four, Five…

Also known as, Trying to taste the difference, ‘tween a lemon and a lime

I’ve been getting a backlash for my blog posts… Too secretive.  Too metaphorical.  Did I really have a ex-fiancee that started to do a little schwag with Buddha and Mary Jane ? [ Yes I did ]

When I started my blog, I wanted to be different.  I didn’t want to write about my day, or how bad my life was, or all the life changes and journeys I was going on.  [ I wanted to be different ]

I spent a lot of time thinking about what my writing style was going to be.  And then tweaking my style as I wrote.  If you look back you clearly see a difference and hopefully a refinement.   What I was going for, was what would differentiate me  from all the other bloggers.  What will make you like me enough to bookmark my site, and come back anxious to read what I have to say?

I really started to like how I wrote in a narrative form.  Where I express a thought midstream during a sentence.  I think it makes it funner [ And hopefully funnier ], and if you put them all together you would think I was talking to myself.

I’ve found this writing style to be very difficult.  I have to think of a subject from two angles.  One about the root subject and then using this narrative voice that makes an observation about what is written.

And recently I’ve been getting a mixed levels of feedback about this style.

If you notice, I have two subject lines.  The first may or may not be directly related to whole story. But will be referenced later on, and the reference may be a tangent from the full story that I’m trying to convey.

[ Complicated?! You betcha! ]

And then I have the picture which may at first look like it has no reference to the story, but will bring a fuller picture through some other comment… Like a car chase picture, and then making a reference to Henry Rollins acting in the movie “The Chase”

And there is my views on relationships, how I want to be when I find that right person, and what it means to make sure “the heat” [ See! Anjulie just made an appearance ] is still alive and well, and that as far as I’m concerned marriages are to be the great, awesome experience.  And I get a lot of feed back on those articles.  I’m told that they don’t believe me.  That I “want something” and that I couldn’t really be sincere.

[ But alas... I am...]

See, when your motives is to be as passionately in love with someone as possible, then everything becomes another way to make sure you will always be treated, in a such a way, that butterflies will dance all around you.  Where it just makes you feel so good, that your feet don’t touch the ground.

And really, what woman doesn’t deserve that? Do guys realize that if we do this simple thing that the rewards would be so great that we couldn’t even be able to understand the amazing amount of love we would receive? [ Is that crickets I hear? ].  Nope.. the guys that realize this are few and far between.  But hold onto those ones… They are well worth having them as the men in your lives.

So, I do write in a metaphorical way, with multiple meanings in a post. But everything I write about is true, and I have experienced them all at one point or another in my life.

I have roughly four to five things that I’m talking about at any given time, starting with the titles…  [ I haven't heard XTC in a long time ]

“but look into my own devices, i’m addicted its a crisis”

[ Well look at that! Ke$ha made an appearance too ]
