End of October I will have been here at Typepad for two years. That's nine months longer than I was at the old site. Doesn't seem so to me, feels like I was there a lot longer than I obviously was. Perhaps that's because there was more crammed into that fifteen months than the twenty four here.

That all doesn't mean much but I like numbers. I count some really strange things sometimes.

Neena gave me a free one year typepad trial in October 2005. I anticipated being billed last October. That didn't happen. Nor has it happened so far this year. They are probably reading this and I'll get a bill for two years now. If that happens I'll just go back to the old site, bottom line is it really doesn't matter where you write does it?
I still look at my stats. I stopped for awhile but I got in the habit again a month or so ago. One of the reasons I started writing again was because I felt guilty about the people who would come here even when I wasn't posting. If you look at your stats you will see me there. I don't comment as often as I once did but I do read those of you who come here and some of you who don't. I appreciate my loyal following, of course I do. As I've said before, I'm not one who writes for himself. If I wanted that I would just think it and save the time it takes to type it. Nope, I'm a frustrated entertainer. I wish my job was Tribal Storyteller. Yarnspinner. Taleweaver. I would speak the truth and only slightly embellish that which I felt could use a little spin doctoring for entertainment purposes. Not with the sex stuff though, that would all be the truth. Really. You wouldn't believe me anyway so why lie about it?
I'm pretty sure I heard a commercial during the baseball game last night, one of those sleep aids I think, where one of the side effect warnings they give at the end, the ones they read real fast, I swear they said something about swallowing your tongue. Holy hell! That one has always freaked me out anyway. I've tried to swallow someone else's tongue but my own? Not gonna happen. Gives me the creeps just to think about it. I'd rather stay awake, fuck that tongue swallowing shit.
Do you think they have every man over 40 thinking he needs flomax or avodart or whatever the hell else there is? Maybe I am missing out on life because of frequent urination. I especially notice it when I drink beer. Weak stream. Maybe, but so what? Do you girls have weak streams? My teenage son has a stream that I can hear from next door but I'm not sure he gets done any faster than I do.
I hate those mystery side effects too. "Can cause a specific birth defect." Why not tell us what it is? Is it too horrible to say out loud? An extra head or mangled genitalia? I've also heard "can cause certain sexual side effects". Come on, I wanna know. Does it make you want to mount small farm animals? Large ones? Wear a dress? Get a mullet? Change sexual preferences? Give it up, hell if we can take the tongue swallowing thing we can handle anything.
Ask your doctor if you're healthy enough to have sex. Right. I love that one. Can you just call and ask or do you have to make an appointment?
The stupidest one for me though is "or women who are about to become pregnant" HUH?
Does that mean later tonight? Next week. As soon as I find a boyfriend? I wouldn't know what to say if a woman dropped that one on me in general conversation........"I'm about to become pregnant". Yeah? Cool.
Do you know if it's a boy or girl yet? Me? I never wanted to know beforehand.
No wonder the rest of the world doesn't advertise drugs and medicine.
I think I'll call my doctor and tell him I've had an erection lasting more than four hours and then ask him if I'm healthy enough to have sex. God I would hope so, what the hell else am I gonna do with it?
