DO THINGS BECAUSE YOU ENJOY DOING THEM AND OTHERS ENJOY THEM. The anonymity of the internet seems to make people think that they can be nasty without any penalty or recourse. They write things that they would be hesitant to say face to face. Maybe they envy our manifest spirituality.

Agreed. I doubt mfers would dare say the shit they write online to my face. Mostly because as nice a bear as I can be, I can also be the kind of bear that will bite one’s face off. :-p

I love that Roosevelt quote so much! Thank you for sharing your work, Mr. Clint. I stopped writing and sharing a few years ago due to criticism from a few “negative ninnies” in a course I was taking. I regret that I did that. Thank you for being bold and amazingly by!

Ricky! I stopped writing for YEARS after some bullies in a creative writing class shamed me for not writing just like them. Took me years to get back on the horse, but I encourage you to share your work, kind sir. And tell those mfers to touch grass (or go smoke some). Ain’t nobody got time for all their bs. We’re too busy being FABULOUS to worry about naysayers. :-*

Oooh, I didn’t know he had a memoir. He’s lived enough for a follow-up since 2006. Thanks, Steve…have a great Memorial Day weekend!
