If a tree falls in the woods...

I check my views - nobody reads my blog. The gimmick of my blog is that I write as if the world is listening (as some might remember from 'Least That's My Opinion), but yeah only the spies really are. So, hence, does it really matter what I say? A lot of people encounter the work that I advertise (ie my films and music), but even though I've become relatively well-known, my blog languishes with only a handful of views. One of my political bugbears is advocating for transparency, so I don't see the need to hide my opinions, regardless of how stupid they may be. And as for when I'm vicious, that's bipolar in a nutshell: I wish that I wasn't that angry, but it's just part of the disease. I suppose my targets might find it flattering that I benchmark myself against them, but yeah … I'm mean. 💜 - I stick to my guns when I'm sane or sober: it's all part of the Amanda Michelina experience, and the performance art aspect of what I do is probably the most 21st-century thing in my whole shtick. Like my new piano piece: that's performance art, and the human touches, like my nails clacking on the keys, are all part of the musicking. 😎
