I’ve been really depressed…

But, here is a friend’s blog.  Friend Jason Denton.  You can access his blog at http://www.gagorder.org That is the current web site for my improv group.  Sorry I’ve been away for so long.  I finally feel something brewing…  stay tuned.

Jason’s Blog Post:

I am sure some of you have noticed that I haven’t blogged in several days.  Well, my friends, the truth is that I have been living with a hidden shame for all these 31 years of my life.  A secret so dreadful, I fear I might lose some readers (all five of you. If that) once this truth is revealed in the light of day.  But this secret, which I have buried deep in my soul for these many years, is like the old man with the evil eye that is buried beneath floor boards in Edgar Allen Poe’s “A Tell Tale Heart”.  Much like the main character of that story, I can hear my shame’s still beating heart.  It is getting louder and louder by the minute.   The more I try to hide it the more deafening it becomes and the madder I grow. Even as I type this confession my palms grow damp with perspiration as my anxiety grows.

I have delayed this long enough.  You must be told to clear my conscience.   You must know, so that I will be free to have a peaceful night of slumber for once in my life.

My friends……I can’t read.


That’s right.  I am illiterate.  I never learned to read nor do I care to.  Sure, I can write, that’s the easy part, but I will never know what I have written.  This is my burden in life as a blogger.  My wife often tells me that she likes what I have written.  I am glad she does, I wish that I could like or dislike what I have written.  The fact is I have no idea what I have written.  From what I’m told, it is humorous in nature, which is ironic, seeing that it is written amongst so much tear shed.


So, I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog.  And maybe one day, I will too.

And, Yes, Sly, I will be publishing your little gems soon…  :)
