Comments on: Bald faced pander http://johnrlong.com/2006/12/16/bald-faced-pander/ I just blather on and on about stuff that interests me, mostly politics and sex and sometimes movies and art.

I would like to add the following…a quote by George Eastman. “What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.”

You are both writers.

Well, dearie, if that’s the case, from a fellow blogger, you’re in it for the wrong reasons. You have a fantastic blog. I read it when I read it (about once a week or so) but don’t usually comment. Blogging is a silent business, ironically.

You’re a writer. You write because you love it, or at least because you’re compelled by your own neuroses. If I may get even more clinical, you’re an exhibitionist, you vain, gorgeous, witty genius. You know you love the thought of your words seductively bending and twisting and thrusting mighty insights in front of however few or many readers out there who like to watch. You’re dirty. We’re dirty. You admit it, and most of the time we don’t. We like the seediness of silence. You keep writing. I’ll be out here with sunglasses and a black trench coat…
