I Used To Be Bigger Than Jesus...Now I Don't Care
I Used To Be Bigger Than Jesus...Now I Don't Care A few of you have asked how I was doing so I figured in light of this momentous day of change (Some Obama guy on TV) I’d give you an update. The way I see me and this site…I’m pretty aware I’m like a washed up old rock star like you’d see on Vh1’s Where Are They Now?. “Atomic had it all”, they would say. “Fame, friends, women. With a writing style like no other he was on top of the world with a cult following of dedicated readers and enough online clout to slay dragons. Now the Winds of Change has left AtomicArtist in the dark. Cold. Lifeless. He hardly recognizes this site anymore. The Golden Age is long gone, he thinks. With no steady supply of “handcuffed naked to a dumpster” and “ass like a bag of wet clothes” jokes, his readership has diminished by half. He was last seen fat and alone eating fried chicken out of a dumpster behind Popeye’s. He wasn’t naked. Nor handcuffed. Just pathetic. This is the Day The Comedy Died. Next on VH1 we interview Eddie Money in his smoke filled studio apartment.” Hah! Actually its not as dramatic as I suggest. The Winds of Change, as I say, were brought upon by myself. I chose to not hang out here although as of now, I’m still a paying gold member and was ever since day one. I guess I don’t miss the 17.95 a month. The magic just isn’t there for me anymore, dear readers…however many of you are left. Its rather freeing though. I’ve broken the chains that binded me here and let me say what a relief it is to not check on blogs everyday…to not get wrapped up in any drama…to not give a flying shit about my views, stats, comments, or whether or not I’m the top read in my state or region. Talking from experience…its pretty damned freeing not to care. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss lots of you…and for those who have kept in touch or have followed me to those other sites I spend more time on, I appreciate you more than you can ever know. Speaking of other sites, I haven’t lost the online bug all together but rather I’ve redirected it elsewhere. You better believe I’ve quickly became a superstar there as it’s a better place to showcase my art, talent, humor, and interests with a larger audience of like-minded, intelligent individuals. Lets face it…few exceptions aside…this place as a whole lacks talent and intellect. No one there has faked their own death to garner sympathy and attention (that I know of). The place seems drama free and if I choose to take a break from lofty, creative pursuits to look at pics of boobs and wide open beaver shots (and I often do) I can still get that there…but those types are more on the fringe and not the main focus of the site. The other site has single-handedly gotten me/my writing/my art into countless other blogs and journals, a few magazines, some art gigs…and a bunch of other stuff. I’ve had a successful art opening at one gallery and another on the way. I was even flown out to Denmark, along with a team of world famous builders, to do top secret design work for my fave toy corporation. (You know the one!!) Oh yes…I have arrived! I’m also the co-founder of a wildly successful online group…one of the better known and coveted groups…at least in my strange circles anyway. I even have people all over the world (who are not you all) pining away for a certain first-of-the-month feature. So you see, the other site clearly gets me a better return on my time/talent/social/Money investment so hopefully you can understand me not spending much time here. No hard feelings? I’m keeping as creative and as snarky as ever. I’ve just been doing far less writing as before but no worries…once you get it you don’t lose the writing bug it just gets redirected. Someday I’ll find another place to hone that particular skill and when I do…look out! This is not as dreary as the VH1 Where Are They Now? scenario I stated earlier…I haven’t fallen from grace but rather I’m on the rise elsewhere. Should I choose to eat fried chicken out of a dumpster it’ll be for the hell of it and not out of desperation or depravity. (Cuz that’s what creative and snaky people do.) Hah! I just remembered…I predicted this whole VH1 washed up scenario a long-ass time ago. Give it a read if ya want a good laugh. VH1 Behind The Blog Interview With AtomicArtist Its classic Atomic from when I was pretty new to the game. Its all about anus whitening…which is pretty important if you’re gonna show off those wide open beaver shots. Some of you could learn something from that old post. I’m just sayin’. Keep in touch. Find me if you know how. Cripes, I’m so easy to find these days! Peace out all y’all. And who’s still here anyway? |

well friend, I'm still here...occassionally!...and unlike you I am not investing my talents elsewhere on line...but like you, it is ok to feel free to come and go as one pleases without compulsion. Congrats on your success and keep in touch! I'd check out the other place if I knew where or how to get there...and would like to!

_____I thought this sounded like something I read here a while ago {VH1 Behind The Blog Interview With AtomicArtist}. I don't have to go somewhere else to be free and not care. I do that right here. I'm made even freer by not having any talent to showcase somewhere else. I'm just an everyday working stiff driver. You...You are an artist, an adventurer, a creator, a man of wisdom and vision. You are the kind of guy that people look forward to seeing and miss when he isn't there. Me... I'm happy to have known you, even a little bit, Atomic.

ok pal...I know you still check in around here...because I viewed your profile and it said "Last Visit Yesterday"!...just because it was 11 months between posts in my blog doesn't mean I don't care. I hope life on the outside has continued to be good for you and to you friend.

so i liked the one blog called ''high drama'''...wanted to read more by the author....got his profile, felt gay for a moment being on a mans profile...feel gayer now that i know we are 87% compatable (more than the chicks i really like alot)...gonna go jack off in IM while broadcasting my pride. and feel even gayer when some 60 year old ''power-bottom'' says ''hey bud'' on an incoming message.. it's gonna be a really gay day ps. the fact that he wrote the post from a female perspective didn't help . http://AsianMatchMate.com.com/blog/chef_rocket123
