Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Please find enclosed one scanned image of a cheque for actual real dollars from an actual publisher.

Wait. B.org doesn't do images. Buffistas have imaginations that are perfectly able to picture dollar-signs, decimal points, and digits.

Especially digits this seldom.

Never mind that. I have here a cheque from a reliable source, rendered to me for monkeying around with a keyboard. Life is good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Congrats, Gus!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Gus, isn't it fun?

Thanks, Robin. I attribute the bux to lurking around GWW, soaking up all the good advice silently, then running to the bank.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Congratulations, Gus!

DG, Perkins, I'm frackin' giddy!

These dollars are so much better than any other dollars.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Gus, get down with your bad writer self! Way to go!

ION, I drabbled. It's longer than 100 words, and I don't even know if I like it, but here it is:

I'm told that I should want to be a part of your shining golden ranks. So I do, and I cry when you ignore me...but not for long.

I'm told I should be filled with wide-eyed admiration at the Greek letters on your shirt, and that I should offer my body up to you in sheer gratitude that you would choose me. So I do...and I end up watching the clock over your shoulder and wondering when I can go back to my dorm room, my unoccupied bed, and my books.

I'm told to pare down my very flesh in order to lure the pick of the stud farm and make sure he stays by my side. So I try, but I am, it seems, too much to be contained in a tiny frame.

I will never be, never have, never achieve what it is that I'm told I should want, no matter how hard I try. Because, you see, what I want isn't in there. It's out here.

Congratulations, Gus! Be sure to let us know when we can pre-order it and artifically drive up your numbers on Amazon.

Damned fucking right, yo.

Nothing against the tiny frame - at least half of the people I've loved in this world and currently love are smaller than me - but my 5'9" barely holds what I am, which may be why it keeps breaking.

Sing it, sister. Sing it loud and proud.
