You know, every day i post on twitter to promote the GG show, or this site - i am reminded what a sad, torpid, alienating shit-planet that twitter is.
I have written a lot about the reflexes that Twitter engages among humans - and those are the "worst" reflexes. Where nice people must tell you that they hate you, because its not too your face, etc.
anyway, I've nearly cut my tweeting down to nothing but the barest promotions, and i don't care if people are "offended" by getting something for free that they think isn't worthy of their time.
This place is the future.
this is where real people go to act the way they would act, if we were all in the same room.
That should always be the standard: what if we were talking to each other at a bar, called the Gutter? would you say, what you're about to say?
Twitter is the opposite - preying on the basic cowardice of anonymity. Again, i refer to the bio of people who are generally the rudest. They describe themselves as Christians and moral citizens, then they shit on you because no one can call them on it.
The future is here, not there.
No one wants to be around ugliness.
Its funny - i have 1.7 million followers on twitter.
why don't I dump it?
because i have 1.7 million followers.
thats considered a commodity.
it's the biggest ruse ever. The only reason people like me don't
dump out is because we think we're throwing money away.
the mentality is this: my membership is larger than the subscriber base of most mens magazines. i could make more money than a company simply by shilling for shit.
anyway, that's why no one leaves. because you AREN'T the customer.
you ARE the product.
if its free for you to do something, then you're the product.
if someone is charging you - then you're getting a service.
we need to get back to that.
sorry i did a redeye and got back this morning. slept like a beaten dog until 3 pm. exercised. now sitting in front of a fire, drinking a glass of wine listening to a tony allen drum record.
i am anticipating a very rough week ahead. but i have to think like tom shillue, and pretend its an adventure. because it is.
this is the longest i've been away from elena, so thats a strain.
okay off to do other stuff. maybe i'll do a record review.
i will try to stay up and live chat the gg show.

Jessica, while I am at it.
I cannot tell you how many times Democrats, in office, do something illegal or immoral...and Democrats vote for them anyway. Platner was the most recent example of "We don't care what their morals are." Marion Barry cocaine. Fucking Joe Biden...lifted speeches and claimed he wrote them. Stole another man's wife.(that goes both ways) Democrats Vote for them anyway.
Republicans vote the bums out first chance they get. They have standards.
@goodwitch Greg does a gratitude list, y’all are in good company!
Today I’m grateful for a southern breeze, gaining more patience through prayer, and an evening sunset by the pool.
So I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet and talk with Scott Jacob's on several occasions during my trips to Deadwood SD. He has an outstanding restaurant and his art gallery is incredible. Scott was selected by DC to create a piece of art to comememorate the countries 250th. This ropped off art will be in the White House. We discussed every aspect of the photo including the frame. Google Scott Jacobs art gallery. It's a great story and a great family.
