I Thought I
would take a moment to answer a few Emails here.
(Keep in mind my email is static
– I’m not always sure if the email response is to my Blog or my Website… or
it’s just spam that I like to keep as personal mail just so I have think I have
more than I really do.)
Question:
How many words are in Moby Dick?
Answer:
Well, I got to the end of the book and was at 212,002 when I hiccupped and lost
my place… so maybe it’s just a little more than that. And no, don’t worry, I’ll
never write anything that long. Just remember War and Peace is more than
550,000 words.
Q:
How long have you been crazy?
A: I
have never officially been diagnosed as being crazy. It’s just a place I
sometimes like to go, especially in my writing. It’s a nice place to visit but
I ….
Q:
How much of this stuff is the truth you write?
A:
What really is truth? All my
writing is totally true – most of it is just based in an alternate reality that
has nothing to do with this one.
Q: My
husband is divorcing his wife – do I still have to have contact with her?
A:
Huh? That doesn’t seem to make any sense. Let me think for a moment.
(One moment later…) The answer is no. I think if she’s divorcing, then she
has to leave the harem.
Q: I
went to your website and on your favorite page –the music – are you kidding me?
It’s dizzying! What is really your
favorite style or artist?
A:
Well, actually you should be a little more dizzy. I really don’t have much
Classical or Jazz there, and those are two areas of music that I have embraced
in the past (as well as New Age and Spirituality).
But
as far as my ultimate favorite style, it would have to be alternative. And my
favorite group would be The Cure.
But I
grew up on early Elton John and I still think he is the King( ), even if his
more recent stuff feels so watered down.
Of
course it goes without saying that the Beatles are the ultimate group and an
influence on everything else.
Then
groups like Supertramp, Alan Parsons, the Moody Blues, and Klaatu raised me to
levels that made everyday life seem mundane by comparison. While, at times,
Klaatu can be a bit campy – that is part of their fun and their message. I
still think that Klaatu’s second album “Hope” is one of the best ever. Abby
Road (Beatles), Captain Fantastic (Elton John), Wish (Cure), 1st Album
(Jars of Clay), Crime of the Century (Supertramp) are some more off the top of
my head. There are many I am leaving out…
Lately
I’ve been listening to “Minus the Bear” from a recommendation from the great
Alternative Press.
I
believe that music is the backdrop to life…
Q:
All your links! I never know what to click on or where they’re going. It drives
me crazy! How about a better idea of where the links are and what’s going to
come up when I click on something?
A: I
love to be the driving force of your craziness. I just hope to provide a scenic
journey.
\We
all need to be a little more crazy/
crazy...
If you want me to keep updating
you on your questions here just keep sending me more Email.
Feel free to follow me, although I realize that you have to
be nuts to follow a blind squirrel. (Maybe that’s why he never finds any nuts, because they’re
always following behind him)
