Saying less, is more.  Working hard, a chore.  Coming closer, the door?

Fuck that.  Here's the encore.

Good day.

^{It's that time again.}

A few words about business.

I'll do one post like this, per month.  As many of you know, many of my written works are performed in character; it's entertainment.  Behind the scenes, I'm a normal dude who does normal dude things; like running an arts and entertainment blog.

Pardon my honesty as I step out of character to address a few things.  I try not to make a habit of this.

Things are going well.

^{But it's far from perfect.}

With each passing day, being an artist here becomes more and more difficult.

I work in an environment now where many patrons are paid to look away.  Art, photography, words, music, all of it; everything we do here depends on the remaining few actual community members to use their senses and consume our content.  These numbers seem to be shrinking as both outside forces and inside forces, things within our control as well as beyond our control, interfere with our way of life.

Current trends are leading these remaining few actual community members astray.  Many are either focused on staying positive; unrealistically wishing their woes away.  Others are consumed with fear, becoming addicted to it, and focusing only on content that feeds this addiction, good or bad.

I've been here before, seen this all happen once or twice, it's a continuous cycle that comes around every now and again.

Business as usual, for me.

^{Unfortunately, actual content isn't very popular these days, it seems.}

I'm really left with no choice.  I have to carry on doing my thing.

I apologize to my followers who prefer my sense of humor to shine on a daily basis.  It has not been easy to maintain the state of mind required to be able to come up with some crazy shit.

With everything going on, the way it's been going, without saying too much, I'm sure you're able to understand.  I'm only human, after all.  Things affect me the same way they affect you.  There's also the part about humor, my typical nonchalant approach, making me feel a bit out of place, while everything is going on, and the community works on finding their bearings.

The other day, someone who I consider to be a friend, @tkappa, said to me:

Dude, I was thinking this morning "If Steem sinks like it appears to do recently, this guy will be legendary (referring to me). All this work and art without making a cent." I mean, think about it. Imagine Steem going down to 0,00001$ and die for good, you will be like a modern, digital version of Vincent van Gogh (well, that's a great exaggeration but you get the point). Tragic but at the same time quite epic ;)

For as long as I have a venue and viewership,

^{I'll carry on.}

If my story turns out to be a tragedy, so be it.  Some of the greatest stories ever told were tragedies.

The best part is:   Nobody even knows my name.

Now

^{Nearly one month worth of hard work in digital art production form...}

All in one shot.

Enjoy
