Would I want a post of mine to go viral?
To be picked up by ABC, NBC, or the WNBA?
A while ago, when I wrote about monkeys and how they contemplate their buttholes, a few sites, mostly starting with .ORG and .EDU, picked it up and said, "This is America, read it!"
They did the same with my post on the lovely candiru catfish.
I also discovered one of my posts was featured as 'HOW NOT TO WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN' ON COLBERT NATION.COM.
It was one of my short stories and I never got to see what The Nation said about me as the 'message' was removed by the time I got there.
Bastards.
Google Cache told me, "You don't really want to see what it says, okay, Colbert said you were an asshole and you shouldn't be allowed to breathe!"
What did Jon Stewart say about me?
Something about my anus smelling minty.
It's kind of fun to Google yourself, you discover stuff you wrote years ago featured on 'MY DATING SITES: REVIEWED' and the best part, I'm giving credit!
"As written by Ashley Freidmont"
Little know triva fact, my real name is Ashley Freidmont!
Who knew that when I signed up in December of 2008, I would find myself on FurnitureReview.com for my article, "LIFE AND TIMES OF A MALE PROSTITUTE..." to be read by hundreds, if not tens, at least maybe two people, all named Irvin!
I write here because very few places allow me to feel so wonderful and yet the biggest piece of shit writer in the world like Open.Salon!
I write shit!
I like it too!
Everybody, write shit!
Go viral!
Use the title: MY BALLS ARE BLUE AND SO IS RICK SANTORUM!
Or not!
I love you all!
And that is why I write here.
Also I write for the Canadians, they pay better!
Good night and have a better tomorrow!

I like reading you, so I'm glad you like writing. (Autocorrect wanted to say erotic instead of writing. Hm.)
I'm glad you write here on Open. It cheers me up after I see yet another LK Walker blog become an instant EP. You counter balance all that death yoga animal sacrifice stuff with normal stuff, like porn.

blueballs,eh? gotta learn self discipline, taught to us
by such luminaries as the Founder Ben Franklin, who flew
his kite in a thunderstorm & was not zapped. Temperance is
the key word. Jefferson agonized over it. his solution was, ah,
to "keep it in the family". haw. oh who cares when the
motherfucker can write shit like this:
"A lively and lasting sense of filial duty is more effectually impressed on the mind of a son or daughter by reading King Lear, than by all the dry volumes of ethics, and divinity, that ever were written."
The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.
Truth will do well enough if left to shift for herself...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable Rights; that among these, are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness...
yeah in Molson Beer..:)
HUGGGGGGGG
A while ago, when I wrote about monkeys and how they contemplate their buttholes,......
I SHARED with you people, MY FRIENDS, about my feelings about anal and this is what I get!!! WILL THERE BE NO END TO THESE ENDLESS TAUNTINGS AND TALK OF ASS????
I gave my Poppy dog a blue ball and she chewed it to shit within five minutes - that blue fucker didn't have a chance. and she ATE the squeeker!
Very informative post, thank you for sharing.
I wonder why so many Americans have opened Canadian bank accounts and filled them up with Canuck Bucks since 2008?
.
Am I crying or am I balling . . .
?
I am not certain if I weep . . .
I hope the sound I emit . . .
I hope it's a normal giggle . . .

If Kerry Laurman pays me $90.00?
I'll donate whole sum to a psychiatrist.
She can buy some mint 'Milk Duds' too.

No wonder we awake
You make a big racket
Tink?
Kerry stink so much
`
I'll ask my VA shrink to evaluate Tink.
I reported her. She's ill/committed.
I thin She's half-insane\as Kerry L..
and isn't the internet too weird? The strangest thing is that I never knew how weird life was before I started chatting online. All these people having conversations with themselves instead of each other, talking over, thinking thoughts under, moving staircases of conversations.
I'm quite happy to have grown up an introvert at this point. Not that I don't love this, I do, absolutely, but holy crap it's energy sucking.
I would miss ya Tink if you stopped writing.
