About

This blog needs no explanation… or perhaps it defies explanation would be more accurate…either way, it is self-explanatory, and speaks for itself, in a disjointed and somewhat snide (or perhaps sarcastic would be a better word) manner, even as it contradicts itself and simultaneously takes itself too seriously… seriously…see what I mean? Do not fall for this blog…do not get sucked in by its lies and manipulations…by the way it sounds so damn clever and drones on and on even as you are lulled into a state of semi-consciousness…then burrows into your trusting brain like some insidious worm…and the pictures, the funny pictures, so small and nonthreatening, so you smile drowsily and give a small nod of appreciation, not realizing the subtle context and sub-text and hidden messages that are so obvious once you lean close to stare deeper into the pretty, colored pixels…Flee, flee, while there is still time…….

    I certainly understand the pervasive desire for the denied sweet releif of death when perusing this blog. I have wished it many times. What a tortured life you must lead.

    A masterful stroke on your part. Uddaman.

  3. which one am I looking at?

    Still, it could be an
    interesting journey 🙂

    I just got the book!!!!!! Of course, I haven’t read much, but the Author’s note, which is good, and the introduction of the characters, the names of some of whom may cause a problem.

    One, so far, of your characters has a name used in Robert Heinlein’s novelette, Methuselah’s children, is named Kreel Sarloo. I just don’t know if you need permission from his estate to use it. Maybe not. Readers might enjoy a sample of the sound of each character’s name.You could add it to each character’s photo/drawing. I already love the writing — as you know from your blog. I can’t wait to read the whole thing, starting this afternoon.

    Congratulations, buddy! This is a marvelous accomplishment to tick off your bucket list.

    YAY!!!!!

    • Um… Don’t forget that there are a few typos due to the publishers end, where sentences cut off and then start as a new, indented paragraph. It doesn’t wreck the story. There is one part where two words were removed, near the beginning. Just remember that the Professor does not work at the saloon.
      And since I invented that name without knowing the other, I will just hope they believe me. But you know, there are more than one John or Steve out there too.
      And yay. Thanks. I am so excitied.

      • jatwood4's avatar jatwood4 says:

        I was thinking of exactly that situation. Ordinary names are common property. But Sarloo, in a science fiction novel, might have crossed the line. Just checking. I don’t worry much about typos and editors’ changes — I am enjoying the book as much as I am enjoying your blog — maybe more, since I ♥ SciFi!

        • Please do a review on the site where you got it when you are done… unless you don’t like it… then just email me… quietly… ha! In fact, it would be fun to do a post about your opinions.

          • jatwood4's avatar jatwood4 says:

            I will be more than happy to review it. I’m just past the beginning of the second chapter, and so far I do really like it. Please don’t think I’m coming down on you for anything, but it is a little wordy — which mimics your blog. I think anyone smart enough to understand the Author’s note will get the book just fine. Hey, first publication — I still think that is amazing.

  6. I’ve seen you all over the place, you are famous.
    And after Joe’s birthday tribute I’m obliged to follow you.
    Happy Birthday by the way.

  7. You had me at sarcastic 🙂

    My dear Arthur,
    Here I thought I was following you, but you had been in hiatus since 1907.
    Mes apologies.
    Le Clown

    • I honestly do not know what to say, and that rarely happens. I see you on the blogs of many of my favorite people, and I often think of following you, but you are one of those exhalted… unless I spelled that wrong… personalities that has achieved such an immortal… and immoral… status, that I wasn’t sure if I had reached the level where I could bring myself to do that.
      Needless to say, I shall remain ever humbled by your nearness… unless I melt or burst into flames… and shall hurriedly rectify… lord, I hope I spelled that one right… the situation post henceforthwith!

        Arthur,
        Not only are you an ace Twitterer (much nicer than tweeter), you’re eloquent, and stuff. Happy to be among yours. Let’s celebrate.

    I thought I’d let you know that I nominated you for the Blog of the Year Award! I wasn’t too sure if you accept awards or not, and if not, no worries! Just know that I feel it is every bit as deserving! Happy New Years!

    Blog of the Year Award!

    • I am touched, honored and not a little aroused… as they say… I love awards, I just have no place to put them… and my computer wants to die when I do links… but maybe the new one is going to work when we get it all switched over. Thank you so much.

  12. yo! I nominated you for a couple blogging awards. 🙂 stop by my blog to pick them up!

    Greetings friend,

    Thanks very much for visiting my blog, “Into the Dance,” and liking my recent post (the one with the Santa Claus meme). God bless!

  14. Your About page is awesome beyond belief – very funny. I shall not flee. I shall do no such thing. I shall stay here until the end of time. *looks at watch* Times up – be back again soon!

    • Please feel free to poke around as long as you wish. Enjoy the free snacks. If you go scrolling down there is something there to amuse all tastes… because I am a freak. Just don’t get lost down there.

  15. Your code word is “Presents”. It will make sense later.

    Just read through several of your posts and (God help me!), I’m still laughing at the zip-drive joke. You left a comment on my latest post and I wanted to respond in kind. Thanks for some fun reads and pics. You entertained me and I am the least savvy computer person you will ever meet. Cheers!

    This comment is completely out of context, and it’s one which should have been posted a few hours ago (I was busy) but I have ‘nominated’ you for one of those award thingys, which also translates to ‘I promoted your blog to my followers because your posts are awesome.’ Check out the post to see what the deal is. Congratulations and spread the love. Yay

  25. hiddinsight's avatar persuaded2go says:

    I’m mad at you. So I decided to nominate you for an award. The Versatile Blogger’s award. I never really wanted mine, but I actually got so bored one day, I decided to weigh myself down with the shame of my own neglect and do my homework. It doesn’t bother me if you don’t care. But…like…please can you stop being so depressed or whatever and start writing again soon? The absence is annoying. Like you want us to beg or something. I am truly worried about you, you know. Can’t shake this feeling that there’s something wrong. Stop being so evasive and blog about something. Anything.

    Here’s the link to your award: http://persuaded2go.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/time-to-do-my-homework/

    PMAO, you are pretty awesome sometimes. The rest of the time you are whiny, conceited, talkative, manipulative, etc. but every now and then…you are a lot of fun.

    So far I have read nothing but your about page and i’ve already decided to follow it. Now that takes some skill, so thank you and i look forward to reading some of the main part of your blog.
