Dear
Biofuels group. August 1, 2005 Good morning. I often say that I want to keep this brief, then I go on and on for paragraph after paragraph. Sorry about that, but I get wound up after I think about something to write about. Take this morning for instance, I have been reading my new favorite pastime, the biofuels email group letters. I want to chime in and tell them all the stuff I have been harping about here for the last half decade. One of the weird little idiosyncrasies of my newsletter, which I don’t mind really, is the unforeseen realization that once is enough. I don’t revel in the false notion that you people archive my newsletter for future reference, posterity and/or humor. Nor do I. Once and only once in these morning chronicles did I imagine that I would go back through the years' newsletters and pick out the highlights and repost them for you. Big mistake! It freaked me a good one to realize how difficult it was to read past issues. At the time I shrugged the rereading of old issues off, allegedly because I had no way to find topics as I had never sorted the newsletters except by day and date. Truth be told, and I try to accomplish this much in my letters, I couldn’t bear to go back through old issues. It may have been because at times we were far from well off. It may also be that since doing the newsletter I feel that I have pretty well covered everything that I can possibly think of that has been happening in the steaming gray matter I call home. I have actually become irritated with people that ask me on the street, “What’s happenin’?” Read the damn newsletter! LOL. I hope I only think that I am annoyed. I would never let such a trite emotion show on my face. However I think that some of the emotions have become rooted. Not so much that I quote myself when talking to people. No… nooo, I have not stumbled over that precipice… yet. I often imagine my ego the size of a watermelon for encouragement to write. Often it works. Hell, I don’t know of anybody that has put out the words in chronicle form like I do. So in some respect, it is working, whatever in the hell I am doing. At this juncture, for instance, I would have to imagine that I actually had a point and would use these delusions of grandeur to bolster myself up in the chair and try to remember where I was going with this. Hmmm, a little help please? Anybody? I rely on several factors here. I suppose I could note that my story telling capabilities might keep my readers’ interest peaked enough for said readers to absorb a significant portion of the information which pours ceaselessly from my mind at five o’clock in the morning. You either are appreciative that I don’t repeat or recant these chronicles, or hell I don’t know, you maybe just maybe… you really like the way I write? I love you! With the deepest respect, Brian Rodgers |
