Ladies And Gentlemen…

…”You JivinMe, Turkey?” Has Just Crossed The 200,000 HITS Mark.

I Said I Wouldn’t Make A Big Deal Out Of Milestones Anymore, AND I’m Not.

But, I Did Feel It At Least Worth Noting.

Wouldn’t You?

SURE YOU WOULD!!!

={200,000}=

!!!
!!! !!! !!!

NICE!!!

Thank You, My Peeps!!!

You Already Know How Much I Appreciate It.

More Work To Come In The Morning.

I’m Inspired, Tonight.

๐Ÿ˜‰

So... Are YOU Jivin Me -questionmark-

Multipurpose-Post: The State Of My Union, Part I

Good Morning, My Peeps.

How’s Things?

All Swell In Your Worlds?

Honestly, Things Have Been A Bit Odd Of Late Within My Own.

I’ve Been Going Through A Bout Of Some Pretty Extreme Personal-Depression That Has Been Sapping And Corking My Creative Juices.ย  It Happens To Us All At Some Point, Or At Least Happens To Those Of Us Intelligent Enough To Understand Our Own Situations.

My Life Situation Just Plainly Sucks.

Period.

I’m Trying To Take The High-Road. I’m Trying To Keep My Head Above The Water I Seem To Endlessly Be Treading. I’m Trying To Carry-On In The Only Way I Know How.

I Just Haven’t Felt Like Writing.

Not. At. All.

As I Said To Someone Earlier…

“…I pick-up my pen, I put it to the paper, but nothing comes out. I’ve just been so caught-up in personal emotional BS that everything else has taken a back seat, so to speak. I know I’ll find my voice again… …it’s just not at this moment.”

And Then It Happened, My Peeps.

I Awoke This Morning, And The First Thing I Wanted To Do Was Sit Down And Start Writing.

So, Here I Am. Writing To Y’all, Hoping Things Come-Out Right.

I Truly Have A Ton To Say, Yet Know I Can’t Say Most Of It.

Not Yet, Anyway.

Why?

Because, I Don’t Rightly Know How Some Things Are Going To Play-Out.

It’s Hard To Write About Something When All The Facts Aren’t In.

I Just Know I’m Unhappy.

Honestly, Truly Unhappy.

Not In Every Aspect Of My Life, But In Enough Of Them To Cause All Of This Mental/Emotional BS.

Life Continues To Throw Me Curveball After Curveball, And I’m Really Starting To Get Sick Of It.

Sadly, There’s Nothing I Can Do About That Other Than Continue To Take It All.

But, Changes Are Coming.

Things Are Happening.

While My Personal-Opinion Of Myself May Not Be Very High At The Moment, I’m Starting To Figure My Shit Out.

I’m On The Verge Of A Major Break-Out, Or So It Feels.

While Some Might Crack Under So Much Personal Pressure, I’m Fighting Back.

I’m Fighting Back Hard, My Peeps.

Life Is Giving Me Both Barrels, And I’m Doing Everything I Can To Give ‘Em Right Back.

What Else Can I/Could I Do, My Peeps?!

I’m Not Going To Lay Down And Die.

I’m Not Going To Let The World Rape Me, And Take Away What Little I Do Have.

I’m Not Going To Stop Fighting My Fight.

Period.

I Just Don’t Want Y’all To Worry About Me.

I Don’t Want Y’all To Waste Your Time And Energy On Something So Frivolous.

I’ll Get It All Worked-Out.

It’s Just Going To Take Some Time.

Lucky For Me, I Have All The Time In The World.

So, We Shall See How This All Pans-Out.

If You Wanna Cross Your Fingers For Me (you know, for good luck and such) Then You’re More Than Welcome To Do So.

Down, But Not Out.

That’s Me.

… … …

The Other Purpose Of This Little Posting Is To Celebrate Something Very VERY Special.

I Just Reached Another Personal Milestone With This Little Blog.

Which Milestone Is That, You Ask?!?

1,000 FOLLOWERS!!!

That’s What!!!

Put THAT In Your Collective Pipe And Smoke It, My Peeps!!!

BAAM!!!

1,000 FOLLOWERS!!!

Seeing That Made Me Smile Like Nobody’s Business, Fo SHO!

I Always Kinda Figured I’d Make It To This Stage, Or At Least Did At One Point.

Then I Started Sloughing-Off.

Once That Happened, I Wasn’t Sure I’d Ever Make Here.

But YOU, My Peeps, YOU Kept Coming Back.

New People Kept Showing Up.

The Blog Perpetuated.

We’re Over 1,000 Strong, Now, Kiddies.

Isn’t That Just F-in’ A-MA-ZING?!?!

Good.

I Totally Agree.

๐Ÿ˜€

I’m Going To Leave You With The Song Of My Morning.

I Don’t Rightly Know How Relevant It Is To My Before Mentioned Topics, But It’s The Song I’m Addicted To, Today.

Ever Heard This One?

YOU GOT IT

by ROY ORBISON

???

Great!!!

I Knew A Lot Of You Would Know It, And I Was Banking The Bulk Of You Would Enjoy It.

It’s One Of ROY ORBISON‘s More Peppy, Upbeat Numbers.

I Know, Most Of You Have Only Heard Me Play His Slower, Slightly More Depressing Tunes…

…But NOT Today.

I Do Sincerely Hope You Enjoy It, Kiddies.

And THANK YOU.

THANK YOU For Continuing To Support Me…

…To Support This Blog…

…To Give Me An Outlet Where I Can Honestly Get Something Back.

I Derive So Much Pleasure From Talking To Y’all, Reading Your Work, Exchanging Comments, Ideas, Etc Etc.

Honestly, I Love It.

Fo F-in’ย  SHO, My Peeps.

๐Ÿ˜‰ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜‰

It’s FRIDAY, Kiddies.

The Weekend Is Upon Us.

Let Us All Try To Make It A Good One.

I’m Going To Do My Very Best, And Trust Y’all Will Be Doing The Very Same.

Take Care, My Peeps.

Try To Be Good.

See Me Soon, And Talk To Me Sooner.

L8r L8r L8r

Celebrating My First 100,000… …With KISS And “CHARISMA”

Is It My Fortune…

…Or Just My Sexuality…

…Yeeeah, Yeeeah…

… … …

…What Is My…

…CHARISMA…

…What Is My….

…CHARISMA…

…Yeeeah…

… … …

CHARISMAIs (odd as it may sound to loyal fans) My Favorite Track From The 1979 Hit AlbumDYNASTYBy KISS !!!

… … …

…Is It My Body…

…Or My Brain…

…Do I Drive You Insane…

…HA…

…Is It The Power Of My Touch…

…Do You Need Me Too Much…

…Too Much…

…TOO MUCH…

… … …

…What Is My…

…CHARISMA…

…What Is My…

…What Is My…

…What Is My…

…CHARISMA…

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

KISS !!!

*** *** *** *** ***

*** *** ***

Sooo…

…In Case You Didn’t Gather This From The Headline To This Bloggin’ing…

…I’m Now OFFICIALLY Part Of The…

100,000-HITS-CLUB

!!! !!! !!!

That’s Right, My Peeps…

YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?

…Is Now Among The Ranks Of The Established Greats!!!

WOOHOO!!!

I Told Y’all I Wouldn’t Be Doing Anymore Milestone Pieces Until AFTER…

YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?

…Had Officially Made It To 100,000 Hits.

Well…

…The 100,000TH Hit Came Yesterday Evening…

…And I’d Been Wracking My Brain All Night…

…Thinking Thinking Thinking…

…And…

…Tinkering Tinkering Tinkering…

…With All Sorts Of Ideas On How To Celebrate.

By The End Of The Night…

…Yeah…

…I Had Nothing.

Couldn’t Think At All, Anymore.

My Body Was Exhausted…

…But My Brain Was Nearly On Life-Support.

I Just Didn’t Know How I Wanted To Do This Thing.

Sooo…

…I Laid Down And Went To Bed…

…Thinking MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE A Fresh Start In The Morning Would Help Me Figure-Out Exactly What I Wanted To Do.

After I Awoke…

…I Popped-On Some Of My Favorite Tunage…

…And I Began To Think…

…And Think Think Think…

…And Eventually It Came To Me!

I Shouldn’t Do Anything Super Special At All!

I Should Do A Post As I Always Do…

…But Add The Fact I’m Now Batting A 100,000 For The Season.

And So, That’s What I’m Doing.

๐Ÿ™‚

CHARISMA

by KISS

…Just Felt Right.

It Felt Like The Perfect Song To Go Along With The Spirit Of What I Wanted To Say.

I Don’t Know If It’s My “CHARISMA” That Keeps People Coming Back…

…Or…

…Perhaps…

…They’re Just Curious To See What The Hell I’m Gonna Talk About Next.

For Those Of Y’all Who Have Been With Me Since The Beginning Of This Thing…

…Yeah…

…I’m Sure It’s Been An Oddly Fun’ish Adventure.

There’s No Real Rhyme Or Reason To My Madness…

…This Blog Is Just A Reflection Of The Conflict Within My Twisted Brain.

I Find Staying FOCUSED…

…In ALL Of Its Forms…

…Is Something I Can Rarely Do.

Today I’m Over Here…

…Tomorrow I’m Over There…

…The Next Day I’m On The Friggin’ Moon!

I Would Apologize For That…

…BUT…

…To ME…

…That’s Part Of The Reason Y’all DO Continue Coming Back.

So…

…Thank You, My Peeps.

Thank You For Sticking With This Little Roller-Coaster Iย Affectionately Call…

YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?

…A True Love Of My Life…

…FO SHO.

๐Ÿ™‚

CHARISMA

…Is…

…Honestly AND Truly…

…My FAVE FAVE Track On Their 1979 Album…

DYNASTY

…Though It’s One Of Their Least Known Jams.

Purest Fans Of…

KISS

…Didn’t Care Much For This Album.

In Fact…

…This Is The Album Where The Term…

KISSCO

…Comes From.

Meaning…

…True Fans Of Classic KISS Music Felt The Band Had…

“Sold Out”

…Because The Album Really Does Have An Almost Disco Like Quality And Sound.

No Foolies, Kids.

I Know A Bundle Of KISS Fans Who Simply HATE HATE HATE This Entire Album.

But Then…

…You Have Fans Like Myself…

…Who…

…Honestly AND Sincerely…

…LOVE This Album.

.Period.

BUT…

…Even With Classic Tracks Like…

I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN’ YOU

(generally considered "The Best" song on the album)

&

2,000 MAN

&

SURE KNOW SOMETHING

…My Favorite Has Always Been…

CHARISMA

๐Ÿ˜€

T’Is A Simple Jam, Yes…

…But It’s Still “MY FAVORITE”…

…And I Say That Very Easily.

It’s BOTH A Great Walkin’ Jam AND A Great Driving Jam.

So It’s One I Think Y’all Should Check-Out If You Ever Get The Chance.

It’s All About FUN, My Peeps.

FUN Is The Name Of The Game, Ya Know?!

SURE YOU DO!!

๐Ÿ˜€

Anyway, My Peeps.

I Once Again Want To Say THANK YOU For Continuing To Check-Out…

YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?

…And I Sincerely CANNOT WAIT To Get Going On My Next 100,000!!!

As A Matter Of Fact…

…I’m Already Into The Next 100,000.

SO PLEASE…

…Please Please Please…

…Keep On Comin’ Back, Y’all!!!

I May Not Be “THE BEST” At All Of This…

…But I DO Have THE MOST FUN!!!

I Just Hope I Can Keep’er Chuggin’ Along.

And I Honestly Think I Will!!!

With All Of Your Help And Support…

I KNOW I WILL!!!

๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿ˜€

I’ve Been Agonizing All Day About This… My 1,000TH Post…

Until Just Now.

I Realized I Never Agonize About My Posts.

I May Agonize About Not Having Put Out Enough Posts In A Day…

…Or A Week…

…Or A Whatever…

…But They Don’t Usually Make Me Fret Wanting To Do Them.

If There’s Agony About Individual Posts…

…It’s Generally Because I Don’t Feel So Great When Doing Them.

Not About The Posts, But Me, Physically/Mentally/Emotionally/Etc.

So I Didn’t Think This Post Should Really Be Much Different Than Any Other Post.

Yes, It’s A Personal Milestone.

Yes, I’m Happy To Have Reached It.

Yes, I’m Happy You Keep Coming Back To Check’em Out.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

But…

…You Know Me Well Enough By Now To Know I’m Notย Supremely Invested In My Milestones.

At The Beginning Of My Bloggin’ing Adventure I Celebrated Them ALL.

Then, For The Longest Time, I Didn’t Even Mention Another Milestone Until This Blog Snagged Its 75,000TH Hit.

That Milestone Was/Is, Indeed, Great.

But I Think This One…

ย …My 1,000TH Post

…IS Important For One Major Reason.

It Shows I’m Willing To Commit To Something…

…And I’m Willing To Try To Go Long-Term With It.

I Love Working On My Blog.

I Derive Great Joy From It.

So I Think The Best Way To Celebrate…

…Honestly…

…Is To Simply Say…

THANK YOU, My Peeps.

THANK YOU For Sticking With Me.

THANK YOU For All The Comments AND Kind Words.

THANK YOU For Giving Me The Chance To Have Fun With You.

And…

…Hopefully…

…With Any Luck…

…Good OR Bad…

…We’ll Still Be Having Fun When My 2,000TH Post Comes ’round.

THANX, Kiddies!!!

I Promise Not To Get Toooo In-depth Over All Of This…

…But I’ve Been Singing This Little Number…

LET YOUR LOVE FLOW

by BELLAMY BROTHERS

(1976)

…Off And On Since Yesterday.

It’s A Personal Favorite Song, Yes…

…But Today It’s Making Me Happier Than It Ever Has Before.

In Case Y’all, My Loving Peeps, Have Yet To Notice…

YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?

…Crossed The…

75,000

…HIT-MARK, Yesterday!

I Haven’t Done A Milestone Piece Since I Hit 6,000 Readers Back In February.

Since Then…

…Y’all Have Helped Me Turn…

YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?

…Into Something VERY SPECIAL!

That’s Why I Basically Took Yesterday Off.

I Felt A Milestone Victory Of Such An Amazing Feat Deserved A Day Of Rest For This Young’ish Man.

ย I Really Wanted To Say Thank You.

Thank You Thank You THANK YOU, Even.

๐Ÿ˜‰

This Is Likely To Be The Final Milestone Posting Until I Hit That Magical 100,000 Readers Point…

…But That Should At Least Give Me Something New To Look Forward To.

A Goal, If You Will.

Lately, I’ve Sincerely Felt My Lacking Focus Has Been…

…hmm…

…Lacking MORSE-SO???

My Brain Is Still Going Fast Enough I Think It’s Breaking The Sound-Barrier Inside My Skull.

But It Hasn’t Stopped Me From Doing All Of This For BOTH Myself AND All Of Y’all.

You Crazy Cats Really Seem To Enjoy My Random-Rambles…

…And That’s A Great Thing, As I Don’t Know How To Function Otherwise.

So Please Please Please Accept My Honest And Sincere Thanks For BOTH…

…Helping Me Along The Way…

…AND…

…Putting Up With Me In General.

It’s Much More Appreciate Than Y’all Likely Know, Or Ever Will Know.

Expressing True Emotions Is Very Difficult For Me.

I Know How Feelings Are SUPPOSED To Feel, Or Are SUPPOSED To Be Expressed.

I Just Generally Don’t Know How To Handle Either Of Those.

I Can APPROXIMATE Feelings…

…Without Actually Ever Feeling Them.

But I Do Know How To Give Thanks AND Praise When I Feel They Are Well Deserved.

And Y’ALL Are Exceptionally Deserving Of BOTH Thanks AND Praise.

Thanks For Stickin’ By Me, Here.

I’ll Shut-up Now.

But Again, Thank You, My Peeps.

I Promise To Keep Crankin’ It Out Here On…

YOU JIVIN’ ME, TURKEY?

…With The Hopes You’ll Continue Coming Back And Back For MORE MORE MORE!!!

Much Love, My Peeps.

Much Love, Indeed.
