To the person named Cein who wrote expressing confusion about the above graphical image:
I started blogging because I'm too poor to visit a therapist. And trust me, I need one. I'm sure you know of what I speak, judging how your letter, well, quite frankly screamed "anger issues".
However for those of us too poor to afford mental health care administered by a certified, trained professional, there is still an alternative--The Bartender. The only person on earth who--for the measly price of a cup of hooch--will attentively listen to you blather on about whatever nonsense consumes your stupid, meager existence. And nod like they give a shit even! But most importantly, strictly adhere to the barkeep's code of ethics to never utter your secrets to another living soul. Until you sleep with them, and then you've got to find another bartender to listen to your stories about your stupid affair with a bartender who blabbed your business all about town. (Lesson: do not sleep with your therapist bartender.)
So you see, since my blog is a form of therapy, and the only decent therapy available to the drunk and impoverished (coincidence? hmmm) is the bartender, the above graphic is a representation of that. There is the woman, me, sitting at the bar, buying drinks and going on and on and on (in posts such as this), looking over at you, the bartender, who is compelled to listen as long as I keep my glass full. I've never taken an art class or anything, but the way I drew the bar in what I think is called "perspective" it's supposed to convey that you are the bartender/therapist, and I am the customer/patient.
So that's it Cein! And Thanks For Asking!
"THE PLAYS WITH IT IN
THE FOLLOWING WAYS":
IT DOES NOT USE BATTERY,
IT IS OPERATED WITH ECHO,
A Super-light megaphone with a
lot of enjoyments Such "ECHO
MIC" needs not to use the
power source which the real
megaphone requires, not it uses
loud speaker and amplifier etc.
With it, we can easily have
good time with the interesting
megaphone with echo.
"WE CAN PLAY WITH ITS ECHO."
One's mouth makes close to its
main body for speaking loudly
or singing songs. The skill
for one is to speak loudly
and then the better echo
we can have.
"IT CAN BE USED FOR ACHIEVING
GOOD EFFECT OF VOICE."
Except that it is used as
megaphone, shake the main
body lightly and you can get
the magic voice to meet the
occasional use.
Well, hey, Cein? Mind your business, sir! To you, I say a hearty "F*CK YOU!".
(You want to talk issues? I got 5 of them on my hand and they're aimed at you.)
