I'm at the Honda Dealership2, getting a car wash. (You know the free monthly one promised to me by the salesperson.) Now there's a computer here, a complimentary one. So I'm using it, cause I can't stand the time being lost. The precious time being lost in the dealership. This dealership where the smiles come with nicotine stained teeth, where the handshakes have the viper's grip. This dealership where the deals . . . .
But, hect, they're washing my car for free. And I'm using their office. Donut anyone? And look there it is now. Pretty fast. Like I wasn't here at all3.
This place's not that bad. For a car dealership . . . .

2 The task of purchasing an automobile can be trying to the thoughtful, ponderous, sensitive type. The issue of being indebted to such a piece of technology that does, in its very special way contribute haphazardly to the effective decay of the momentously beautiful specimen of creation known as planet earth, is trying. Worse though is the inevitable economic banter, the furious acquiesce of the sensitive consumer to participate and indulge in a capitalistic dance that dare I say reflects everything that is corrupt about Trade. 3 Was I even there?

Here it is then. The victory dance. I'm not giving up. I've finally arrived. So then if you want to track the storied life of a brilliant author . . . . here's your chance. This blog1 offers the details. This is the story--the story within the story. (words behind the words?)
I should be humble, humility is truth. But what about anti-humility or humility in reverse. Can someone be so concerned with humility that they never say anything? or try anything? or be anything?
Some folks subscribe to the belief that God doesn't want us to shine . . . . I'm creative. I'll declare it!
It's like this:
I know that I am destined to create potent pieces of literature and art for this generation and generation's of the future (and maybe the past?) I've known this very fact since 1992. And in my early days I was consumed with the need to produce it. As seen by my earlier posts. This anxiety hindered production. As seen by my slow output. But still, I've always known this Truth about myself. And it's beautiful to know and share and celebrate. And I am so sure of this that I can declare this to one, and all. And I'm not concerned with every word being acurate here. I'm no longer going to hinder myself with judgement over use of the occasional cliche'.
What it is, is . . . Doing liberates.
So unless I die (a possibility of any moment) real humility . . . . So unless I die, I will contribute, and endlessly, rejoice, celebrate, give, and bemuse, my gifts and yours.
please, stay tuned .

This book will be finished . . . .
What a hiatus.
What, a hiatus?
Well fans, the fever and fury and post-pre-post-modern epic tomfoolery is back. Dead in the Bathtub Water is alive and kicking, Davis Rutherford, The Third is up to his old tricks . . . . namely wasting valuable amounts of potent intellect fillbustering through hairbrained existance.
But . . . stay tuned because a man with such potential energy got's to be up to something good !!!
Things to look forward to: a complete overhaul of this blog, Jelly Filled Catharsis the long awaited resolution of the Jeremy's Prophecy Dot Com, project . . . or the truth (as best as I can tell it) the completion of the Trilogy Dancing in the Shower, Dead in the Bathtub Water (being developed here) and another YES! another wild creation of which the title I will wait to reveal. my personal website http://www.KeithKimmel.net (An Exploration in Thought) see here.
And much, much more. I'm tempted to, but I won't say, "But wait. . . . There's more." Because that would make me seem like a real marketing fanatic. Not that "And much, much more." is any more swank.
Anyways, you sees, I gots some passion and finally, FINALLY, for real this time (and you die hards know what I mean). I'm making this happen. So watch as the production grows. Insert dread here. But really what's a good author to do.
I needed time to think. I've thought enough. Now I do.
