I hate this because I had a really good streak of on-time pages for a little while there. Now I feel like a chump, unable to get this darnable thing ready to go. <\/p>\n<p>-After like a dozen revisions, I could not make my promised <em>Bands I Useta Like<\/em> article (&#8220;Some Things I Can&#8217;t Say&#8221;) work. I hate this because there&#8217;s a lot of good stuff in there, plus I threw in a positive blurb about <a href=\"https:\/\/thebetamaxrundown.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one of my all-time favorite websites<\/a>. I may go back in a few weeks and try to wrangle it into shape again, or turn it into something new for the next time a title starting with &#8220;S&#8221; is needed (if you know, you know). I hacked away at this article from February to early April. The focus was just off somehow. <\/p>\n<p>-However, this morning in a fit of pique (manic phase), I blasted out a new &#8220;S&#8221;-title article, titled <strong>&#8220;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/sore-subjects\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sore Subjects<\/a><strong>&#8220;<\/strong>. Much of the same subject matter is reused from &#8220;Some Things I Can&#8217;t Say&#8221;, pared down to two basic points. Only open-minded persons are advised to read this particular <em>cri de coeur<\/em>. I am beyond fed-up with people and this article reflects that. I am not sharing it on Facebook because as far as I can tell Facebook is dead intellectually. There are users who post messages there about how America is dead. I fucking loathe people like that and would very much like to physically harm them. So instead, I&#8217;m trying to hurt them with my words. It should work, because as we all know, words can hurt as bad as the knife of a piece of shit who kills someone over a seat. Right? Sure they do. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all good, because the targets of my new article will never wise up and change the way they are, or learn anything, and I will continue to grind in obscurity and poverty. It&#8217;s all good, folks. Nothing ever happens or matters. <\/p>\n<p>Thank you sincerely as always for supporting what I do, seriously, you&#8217;re about all I got, and have a great weekend. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope you&#8217;re having a great holiday weekend, or just a great weekend in general.
