You...Good afternoon T and thank you for your post.<br /><br />You seem a tad agitated towards me of late T, which is a shame, because I really haven't changed. The expression you used in the post I spammed is wholly inappropriate at this time. It was funny when used by Ali G, but horrendous when used by Richard Madeley - do you see where I am going with this? Black men and women can joke and parody racism, but from elderly white men, it's just wrong. Think of the odious Jim Davidson and his character 'Chalky'.<br /><br />I haven't yet left Mother Earth T, in fact I am remarkably down to earth given that we are in the midst of a major pandemic and a global protest against racism. There are going to be issues on which we, even old friends, will take different sides. To my horror, with my latest blog, I find myself on the same side as the extreme right who are gathering in London to protect statues. How tf did that happen? <br /><br />I hope you will take a look at my latest blog T, 'The battle of the Statues' and give me your opinion which I should be very interested to hear. I don't think we are anywhere near lullaby time T, there is way too much going on!

Do you discard someone’s informed opinion without knowing what it is? That’s so unlike you, my dear.<br /><br />“I have also spammed a comment of yours that sounds horrendous, you really shouldn't do Ali G impressions.”<br /><br />Oy vey, that’s mighty generous of you. I take it you are serious.<br /><br />I don’t do piss-taker Cohen’s impressions, thank you, my dear. My initial remark was in the style of the honourable Richard Prior Esq if you know who he was. Did my comment sound horrendous due to a change in your circumstances/attitude? I’m asking because I’d used, in jest, that very same initial remark more than once before with no negative reaction from you whatsoever. I would offer you links to confirm what I’m saying, but there’s hardly any point since you would perhaps spam them also.<br /><br />“I struggled with it for a couple of days, but I couldn't in good conscience publish it.”<br /><br />Oh dear, I do feel your pain, my dear, trust me. What have you been on?<br /><br />Now that you have alleged that I made a comment that “sounds horrendous” and you obviously expect your readers to take your word for it in the absence of the comment, I’m left with no better option than to say that you are profoundly mistaken. But what’s a mistake, however profound, between friends, eh?<br /><br />“I have no problem with you having alternate views on the Black Lives Matter marches and protests T”<br /><br />You seem to be able to dream up something I haven’t written about or even dreamt of writing, my dear. That’s your writer’s imagination at work, I suppose. :)<br /><br />Come, come down to Mother Earth, my dear Rosalinda, and we’ll sing a lullaby.<br /><br />All lives matter.

This is flagrant history distortion and history revision, which is very much like what happened in the former Soviet Union, when the towers of the churches were torn down and names of streets and cities were not allowed to be reminiscent of the Tsar era. In addition, the art and the literature, that was considered politically reprehensible were forbidden as were irony and satire (ref the recent removal of fawlty-towers-German satire episode)<br /><br />What about the prehistoric Stonehenge. Does that monument represent diversity? If not, why not replace it by a multicultural artwork, depicting all the different races and genders working towards the complete utopia of eternal diversity.<br /><br />Have Nice Weekend Rosalinda and W.<br /><br /><br /><br />Björnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-46289975624188284032020-06-12T18:19:33.596+01:002020-06-12T18:19:33.596+01:00Hello T

May the Lord bless you!<br /><br />Unfortunately, I do not believe that so many people here are interested in poems written in foreign languages, so with respect for Rosalinda's readers, I do not want to go into any more detailed analysis of these poems, unless someone would like me to do so. French is OK for me, but my Russian may not be so good considering, that I did not study that language so deeply.<br /><br />Inna Shevchenko still my favorite whatever you may say.<br /><br />Have a nice day T<br />Björnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834822786084044829.post-53704054316842248882020-06-12T17:49:04.363+01:002020-06-12T17:49:04.363+01:00@12:39

We were actually the first class of it's kind, a motley crew made up of entirely different characters with seemingly nothing in common, but we bonded instantly with our shared love of books, movies and creative writing. Writers often feel a sense of dissonance, the hardest part being that most people do not want to talk about the things we want to talk about, ergo we can be in a crowd, but our heads are miles away. <br /><br />So what subjects interest me...…? Ooh, that opens the floodgates W. My reply would be, there are over 500 blogs for you to read through. Read the comments too, because 'subjects that interest me' have often come up, and I have given many lengthy replies setting out my opinions. <br /><br />Am I a great wit? Yes, I believe so, I have always had the ability to make people laugh, especially when they are sad. I don't giggle at the thought of making the 'recipient' unhappy, how absurd. And if they are going to be unhappy at my reply, why do they write to me? <br /><br />Seriously W. I don't have any power over another person's state of happiness or unhappiness, that power lies solely with them. Personally, I don't bother with people I don't like, by not engaging with them they have no power over me. Which begs the question W, why do you keep coming back here, do you think if you criticise me enough I will have a complete change of character? Regardless, you are not a happy soul, so why continue to torment yourself?

Hmm, I think prob...Was I serious or just boastful? Hmm, I think probably both. Being happy in your own company is a blessing, a good thing, isn't it?<br /><br />I have a constant inner dialogue going on, like JD in 'Scrubs', but then I wonder, doesn't everyone? My own is particularly entertaining as I have a penchant for seeing the funny side, even in the most dire of situations. Keeping 'my trap shut' is an ongoing daily battle, but one that amuses me. But I do have to say there were times when I just went for the laugh, and, err, the sack, but that's a whole other story.<br /><br />The thing is W, I actually like me, I like that I enjoy my own company and that I have so many interests. I joke about my clinical diagnosis of multiple personality disorder, it takes me one step further than the bipolars. To be honest I have always benefited from the disassociation, especially the self who took over the serious matters like exams and interviews. The successful ones were definitely an out of body experience.<br /><br />I am sad that talking about inner dialogue makes you uncomfortable W, but it is something we all do, perhaps writers more than most. For myself, everything is dialogue, how does it read? how does it sound? The words I am saying out loud in my head and I want them to sound eloquent. I want them to sound the same way in the heads of my readers as they in mine, the sighs and the inflections. I want them to hear my actual voice, which, yes, I do like the sound of. <br /><br />I don't know if I achieve that, but it is something I strive for every day, I want to connect with my readers, I want them to think 'yes, I feel that too', or 'yes, I have done that'. I have always found, throughout life, that the quickest route to winning friends and influencing people, is by telling them something daft or outrageous that you have done. Brutal honesty, also a good ice-breaker, but it could go either way, eg. 'W' 'I can't believe you just said that'. Or you could just laugh out loud, and think, hey what's wrong with loving yourself?
