The Eye Of The Beholder

February 27, 2011
I want to warn you in advance if you are a fan of the pop culture references I usually add and think I am so funny, this might not the blog for you to show your friends as an example of that. As the kids say, My Bad!!!
It was a tough week to be Steve Rogers, true believers. This last week I was accused of being a multitude of things, most of which, in retrospect, were probably true at one time or another. I was called an asshole at Latitudes 30 by two separate people I just met before and hopefully will never meet again, a pussy and then big pussy when I objected, I was told to get my mangina checked and since I was also an asshole I should see if I could find a gyno-proctologist to help with both my issues and save on the copay. I was told I am needy and for lack of a better term, my friends think I need an attitude intervention. I told a friend I was going to the movies with a female friend and was told definitely not to “wear that shirt”. Oh, I also got a new nickname of O2 because I was providing the oxygen that fed the drama firestorm that followed my last blog. In the words of Adam Corolla, “Good Times”.
I had no concept that by talking about the drama that is all around us (me), I was actually becoming a codependent assclown (I have looked into having this added to Webster’s dictionary and adding my picture).  I thought I was pulling back the curtain Wizard of Oz style, but I couldn’t have been more incorrect. No courage for this cowardly Lion. I already have too much of a heart, (remember the mangina?) and being a shithead, I’ve no room for a brain. I also have the feeling that the fact I don’t like football or drinking caused someone to tell me they had so much going on at work they didn’t have time to see me anymore. I also had 4 drinks one night and almost danced and the next night I was hypnotized and did a rap in Chinese, rubbed lotion on an imaginary friend, gave birth to an imaginary baby and danced to Michael Jackson’s Thriller in front of a couple hundred people I have never met before. How was your week?
I decided a couple times this week to never blog again. I started this for me, wanting to get back in a creative place so I could begin work on my short story again. Instead I have been posting the link every time I write and asking everyone to tell me how they liked it. The reviews (opinions really) have been positive and I have been really riding a wave of “You’re a really good writer!”, and “You are so funny. You should save all of these and put them out in a book” and trying to figure out how I turn all that into random fellatio or at least a hand release. Hey, I am nothing if not honest.
I decided instead to write when I want, not holding myself to the 2 per week goal I set when I began this journey, and not post a link on Facebook after this one. If people wanted to follow me; they would have to figure it out for themselves. That is where I am right now. I really wanted to follow the Drama Chronicles with a funny Coupon story. Everyone seems to be asking for one of those, and I usually live to serve. Sorry people, but I’m not feeling very funny at this time. Thank you, come again.(read as Apu from the Simpson’s)

  1. Keep writing Steve,it seems to do you good. The grammar has improved and it looks like you have that font thing under control. And your right about a couple of things: Jim Reihle was the talent of the show, and your Coupon stories are entertaining. So next time you come down south we can go for a sarsaparilla and talk about any number of non-sports topics. keep em coming.

  2. I just wanna know which ass-clown demotivated you.. By the way that is my new favorite phrase "ASS-CLOWN", don't be surprised if it pops up on FB (I'll give ya a shout out).. heheheee
    Like you said you are doing this for yourself.. who gives a damn what everybody else thinks at the end of the day this is release for you so if it offends someone else then they need to stop reading. I personally wanna hear more about coupon lady.. oh and I like the pop culture references.

  3. Lmao that whole line about mangina needs to be in a rap battle somewhere. Btw how's that short story coming along?

  4. I have not written in so long I cannot even remember. The blog is my therapy, but anything else is simply not happening. I have been toying with the idea of publishing these blogs as an e-book.
