I think I'll just quit this exercise in madness! This trying to understand and figure out what kind of writing I do, has taken the fun away! I never worried about it before just, let 'er rip! I was so taken aback by all the grammar rules in school, I quit trying to understand them.
((( Seems to me it's hard to use something you never understood! )))
Hell's fire!!! I be a poor boy, and the best I could hope for, per the jobs in my family was, working for the railroad, factory labor, general labor, truck driver, Or prison like my two uncles! I took out prison after visiting one of them, in prison! So basically labor of some kind, and if I was real lucky a good paying factory job, where I could hope to not lose an eye, or hand like a couple in my family did!
I did do real good in grade school. I loved math, history, reading. Let me think now . . . the three R's in learning are Reading, Rwiting and Rwithmetic.
Well hold up on the beautiful white stallion 'Silver', Mr. Lone Ranger, hold onto that pretty paint 'Scout', Mr. Tonto, somethin',,,,,, I say somethin',,,,,, seems a miss here??? Could it possibly be, after all these years, this learnin' thing has steered me off course?
I remember as a young-in, my educated grandpa, that worked for the railroad a tellin' me to learn in school and study the three R's. I always thought that meant, a reading, a riting and a rithmetic!
Why dag-nap it that be 3 R's . . . right?
I say, I say, I say somethin' . . . ain't, addin', up here!
See how this English/grammar/a riting, has kept me all mixed up, all me life. I've always loved to read. I've always loves a rithmetic. My handwriting has always been poor, I just reckoned that was due to being POOR. Huum . . . "daylight in the swamp" [light bulb above my head] lightning bolt just struck my arse! Somethin' is starting to make sense here! ((( This is gettin' scary, scarier than any of them Scary movies, I did not watch, no, no, no not me!!!
OCCASIONALLY WHEN I RITE, I MUST GO BACK AND SEE WHAT I ROTA, CAUSE I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO STRAY OFF COURSE! PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AS I TRY TO FIND MYSELF. IF FOR SOME REASON I CANNOT WELL THEN, I'LL MOST LIKELY HAVE GOTTEN LOST IN ONE OF THEM TEMPERAL, TIME, DISPLACEMENT, THINGEE, MAGEEGEE, SOMETHIN OR THE OTHER, YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT ON THEM STAR TREKKY MOVIES YA SEE!
[[[ I'm in a heap O shite now! Am I still thinkin'? )))
I probably shouldn't have, but I laughed when you were talking about the best you could hope for as far as jobs and you ended that with "prison like my two uncles" . I'm thinking you turned out mighty fine Professor. After all, you are a professor of life and a darned good one at that. I'm glad you didn't choose prison life. I don't know if you would be able to post your writing from the big house, and that would be a shame for us out here in Blogger land.
