Just Like Pagliacci Did

See, the thing about running a blog like this one is when you write something you want to sound enthusiastic & entertaining & funny. Which runs the risk of shading into a certain glibness, especially if glibness is your natural defensive reflex. And then after a while you start to feel like you’re putting on a show. It’s not cool to mention frustration, or humming anxiety that makes you twitch & start, or other dark clouds in the sky of your brain.

Nevertheless.
