My first rants are my favorites.

Recently, I was looking over my earlier posts, trying to understand why I used to love to write on this site. It seems I have nothing to say here anymore, and went back to reread the early amishking, hoping to find some inspiration. I did realize one thing, though.

My first posts are still my favorite.

Yet it seems none of you read them. If you did, you didn't comment on them very much. For instance, one of my all time favorite rants is "All new for 1976", my second article. I love this piece. I thought it was funny and made a point. So why are there no comments on it?

Go now, read the damn thing. Tell me what you think. Even if it is to tell me that my writing stunk back then, or that my writing stinks now, just let me know. Tell me that it was funny, or that it was stupid. I am not looking for view counts, ad revenue, or to get on Google news. When I wrote the damn thing, Rantrave wasn't even on Google news. So go back, read some of my early stuff, and tell me where I made the turn for the worse. You can also tell me to stuff it, just tell me something.

Thanks. Peace.
Amishking.

19 months ago: OK I read it. It's a nice piece. But I wouldn't want to go there. I don't think I could watch the whole disco craze again. It was bad enough the first time around.
Maybe the reason you aren't writing as much is that your perceptions are in a state of flux, and perhaps you aren't quite as convinced at this time.

19 months ago: Thanks for the comment. At least someone is reading this damn thing.
19 months ago: I was 12 years old in '76 and loved it!

I always preferred KC and the Sunshine Band, Funkadelic and the Ohio Players to the Bee Gees. Nix the platform shoes but loved the bell bottoms.

Your writing was a little before my time on RR so I have to backtrack. This was a nice piece.

I'm going to take some time and read all your stuff (at least most of it).

What in the world did you say to her to get a response like that?
