Hello new people… are you sure you’re in the right place?

I feel obligated to do these posts now and then. It isn’t that I want to scare new followers off, it is just that I am afraid that some of you might have the wrong idea about this blog. Lately I have been doing nothing but posts about my second honeymoon trip to Maui. Yes, there are funny stories and romance and lots of nice pictures. I have noticed that many of my new friends have blogs that specialize in travel or photography. So I can see how you might think that this is a blog about that sort of thing…

But that isn’t what this blog is about at all.

It’s a freak show.

I do weird stuff.

I have weird followers.

I am not saying that you aren’t welcome. I am merely pointing out that it might be a good idea to poke around a little. Scroll way down… below the pictures of my trip… or click on some of the buttons on the top bar or the sidebar. Read some random posts. Because this blog covers a lot of ground… and some of it is swampy…

Now don’t get me wrong. This is a nice, family friendly… for the most part… place to meet interesting people and have a laugh or two. I have original song videos. I tell funny stories. I do funny pictures in Photoshop. I make fun of politicians and things that annoy me. We even have a post where we are trying to break the record for the most comments on a WordPress blog post that now has 27,947 comments on it… and you are welcome to become part of history by clicking the link over there at the top of the sidebar.

Anyway, I didn’t want to misrepresent myself. If you feel like leaving, there will not be any hard feelings. But I hope you decide to stick around.

Thanks.

    HI! I’M HERE!! (and as I have said before I ain’t goin anywhere) I am really enjoying your pictures of your trip, so there. (I didn’t even roll my eyes when I said that) I don’t care if you want to put me in the weirdo catagory or the silly, but I don’t think I fit in the “new people” one anymore.

    I seem to be quite fond of artistic swamps. Who Knew? Thanks for opening my eyes to this. LOL. Just beware the Gators, and try not to fall out of the fan boat.

    Where was my warning when I first started following you?

    You think your followers are weird? I resemble that remark! 😉

    Hello, and I am not weird, I’m just an annoyingly rational backstabber. That’s not weird, is it? I mean, not when you work in corporate environment.

  6. I am so happy to be a part of the “freak show”.

  7. Hi new people. I’m the Heckler in Chief, or something like that.

    Now sit down and have a nice plate of stewed squirrel.

    OK, I give up – what is the world record for comments on a wordpress blog? How much further do we have to go? And, yeah, some surreality would be good about now.

  9. I feel somehow as if this blog was aimed at me… am I flattering myself? I have to say I am definitely waiting for that awkward banter you claim will come spewing out of your mouth/computer. Enough talk…bring it on!! (P.S. If we keep these comments up, you will find that I am often kidding, please don’t take offense, I just refuse to use LOL!)

      Oh my dear Marissa. Like Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman to the sales clerk, “Big mistake.Big. Huge…” I have been trying to find my why out of this mad house for more than a year. Turn back while you can still see the light from the door before it closes. Oops. Gotta go. Here comes Art and the guys in the white coats again. Before they drag me back in again, one question? This blog is about monkeys; Why are you here “definitely waiting for that” aardvark banter?.

      • Ha… you said: ‘trying to find my WHY out of this madhouse’. Maybe that is a Freudian slip, or maybe you are being too smart for me again… or else your spelling has just made it impossible to read the ‘exit’ signs… HA!
        Seriously… Marissa… this is a swamp… if you decide to stay, do not explore without making friends… and bring some rope, water, a flashlight, rubber boots, and maybe a gun… and don’t stray off the path… or talk to the pygmies… or pet the squirrels…

          You do notice “a” and “h” are quite distant on the keyboard and hitting one for the other is higaly unlikely. I’ll leave you to ponder the nature of the “typo.” I haven’t worn my Freudian slip since finishing therapy for cross-dressing.

    • Yay… I have done posts about how much I hate ‘LOL’… because it looks like that guy in the painting ‘The Scream’. I do these apology posts now and then. I tend to be all over the place, but then I do a post about something, and people show up here with blogs that are all about that thing. I did a couple of funny posts about going to the gym, and people followed me who had blogs about health and fitness and dieting and exercise. I always end up feeling like they expect me to stick with one topic, and I never do… but this is the longest series of posts I have ever done about one thing.

      Hi Marissa! I am positive that if you have a couple hours and the courage to risk your mental health you will find that the “comment here” post is most amusing! Especially if you can manage to piece together the comments in the proper sequence. It seems to me you will fit in quite nicely.
