Look a-yonder comin’! Comin’ down that railroad track! It’s the Orange Blossom Special! Yeah, bringin’ my sense of dignity back…
Because, yeah, you know… I foolishly threw that to one side when I decided to interact with the rest of the human race (with a view to belonging). However, the rest of the human race turned out to be not so accommodating in a quite “sod off Tony you stupid git” kinda way. Oh, you silly, silly, SILLY boy! That’ll learn you to want emotional connection of any kind…
And lo, I retreat into the shadows of obscurity, and make these recordings as a last ditch effort to remind said human race that I’m not a ghost. Or maybe it’s to remind myself that I’m not a ghost. Or maybe I’m just bored. Yeah, it’s probably that last thing.
Hope you guys enjoy this train themed Crumbcast. It was a hoot to make! (Or is that a toot? Guh. Whatever.)
THE CRUMBCAST 12
In so many ways even just the prelude is so profound to me
I guess we oscillate between reaching out with some need or want, and eventually recoiling in disdain

I think you’re right about that. It’s always a constant to and fro of need and retreat, isn’t it? I guess we all get caught up in that to some extent. 🙂

Oh god. That urrrnge blahsome spushull. I haves a very odd question. If you’re deaf, and you never hear words, does the phonetic spelling of words mess you up or do you “hear” words when you read them? And sorry if I’m being rude, I’m just wishing for death so I’m not feeling very PC right now

Actually, I’d prefer if you weren’t PC, and from all that I’ve read on your site you’re not one to mince words. That’s a breath of fresh air. 🙂
As for my deafness, I guess the only way I can really describe it is… well, imagine that you’re swimming underwater. All sound is muffled. So, I have a tiny amount of hearing but it’s really not much. With my hearing aid on, I still don’t hear as well as most hearing people do, but it’s good enough. So, when I read words, I do ‘hear’ them in my head but probably because I already know what they sound like.
So, no, you weren’t being rude. It’s a good question. I prefer open and honest curiosity to political correctness any day. It makes me feel human… like I can actually be interacted with like any other human. 😀

Well, we’re all broken somewhere… Sometimes it’s just a little harder to see it. I’m glad you like my ‘Poetry’ though. Humans suck

Not all. I don’t know you, it’s true, but your poetry says to me that you don’t suck. That’s only my take though.

Oh Tony, that bit about losing your tackle on a train is just hilarious! I didn’t think it was possible to make trains actually interesting, but you did it!!

It’s amazing how adding genitals to something can instantly make something more compelling, isn’t it? Hee hee hee! 😛
