Decided.

.

I don't really have anything to offer the world at large.  My thoughts, memories for what they are worth or how true they may or may not be, my dreams, envisionings, and the rest are of no value.  Not even really to me.  I merely put them out of my misery here, often.  I have decided definitely to put my blog into at least limited view mode.  If you want to visit I will need your email address and a reason.  If it is merely to watch the gimp dance and sing, that doesn't cut it.  If it is to throw stones, talk to Christ.  So, if you want to read and have the capacity to comment here...

YOU need to send me an email, with the email address you want attached to access.
IN that email, you need to include why you wish to have access.  You do not need to agree, if your sole purpose is to critique, though, then I will expect that.  Why do you bother?  That's all.  Doesn't have to be a perfect reason, even a good reason, just... why?

I am leaving this blog open for a week.  If I am seeing things correctly, you have until September 20, 2012 to choose.  On September 21, this blog will be closed.  After that I will still take applications, but the site will be closed to you until you gain access.  Hey, it's a lot more honest than simply shutting down comments.  It slays me that someone would continue to write publicly while not allowing comments.  I just don't like people who hate what is written here sneaking in and then sniping at me from the shadows in real life, fearing even this old and actually kindly gimp.  Cowards have to be excluded.
