I'm Still Here

My Dearest Readers,

I have not abandoned you. Rather, I have been concentrating my efforts on a very modestly paying outlet: The North Park Press. I may still post things here that the Press deems inappropriate or, perhaps, too brilliant and insightful. In any case, please follow my work here.

Forever yours,

Kyle

too brilliant? I'm sure that must be it.

Meantime hang onto your pathetic delusions of competence (not grandeur, not - just delusions of competence).

Take a look at this....

.... until the end of your meaningless life of mediocrity, know that anytime you have any feelings of comptence, you're merely experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect.

You seem proud of what you pompously call a "rigidly opinionated nature" - fascinating. This is something of which it's worth being proud?

"Journalism" is not what it used to be - all mainstream paid "journalists" these days are merely stenographers for the corporate-controlled propaganda-machine.

I checked out some of your "stuff" - I was, shall we say . . . . underwhelmed?

Find something to do at which you're at least somewhat good. You're not going to make it as a paid writer - best stick to writing your little blogs in your jammies and bunny-slippers with your Cheetoh-stained fingers.

Ouch. I appreciate the time you put in to this, um, thorough evaluation of my work, but some of your assumptions just aren't quite accurate.

1) I prefer to blog in the nude. It helps me to get in tune with the Earth's natural rhythm and language.
2) I don't eat Cheetos. The Flaming Hots with Lime are pretty good, but it's been a while since I've indulged.
3) I actually already AM a paid writer. Those articles on the link in this post? Each of them brings me closer to a sweet, sweet stipend. I'm earning nearly EIGHT DOLLARS per article. Come semester's end, I'll be laughing my delusional, Dunning Kruger-affected head off all the way to the bank...

Thanks for the post. I treasure your readership.
