shave and a hair cut

Many writers aim for consistency of tone. Not me. All I'm going for is a chronicle of my thoughts, however foolish and changeable they might appear. In other words I write for myself first, give a bit of thought to clarity and style and edit once, maybe twice. If other people dig what I do that is seriously gratifying. If not, it can't be helped.

That's the silly side.

The other side knows what it values: clear thinking, good logic, a solid humanistic grounding in life and the respect for the natural world that such a grounding entails. It also values forcefull, convincing writing (at least in an opinion peiece). Whenever that side of bob, lets call him little p pop, comes across something that insults those basic values, he comes out looking for blood.

Dangermouse and nammahottie for example both had to deal with that shift lately (nammahottie in the passion of the christ and danger in global warming) where suddenly I'm attacking their ideas like a mad man. Neither one took it "too" seriously because they know that, like themselves, I have differrent aspects, and while some of our respective aspects might bump up quite comfortably on some occassions, on others we'll be like two sumo's in a narcissistic rage. It's not a big deal. It's just life, and quite a lot of interesting, good fun.
