Just Call Me J. Diddy

Apparently, I rhyme. Not all the time, but sometimes I rhyme. This was something I never knew about myself until a friend pointed it out.  When Kathy was here, even she agreed.  I just naturally rhyme; it’s not something I foresee. I can’t do it when I write, it’s like I’m trying too hard. It comes off trite, like a greeting card.

But I do it when I talk and I have no idea why. Is it because I sing? It’s not like I try. Should I have been a writer? I guess I already am. Should I have been a rapper?  I don’t have big enough pants.

Ok, that last one was a stretch.

But I guess I really do rhyme when I talk and now I can’t stop hearing it.  I have to acknowledge when I rhyme now… “I was rhyming.” like anyone else gives a shit.  But I guess people do, who knew? It’s not like I notice when others rhyme, it’s not my business. I don’t have the time.

See? Right then I wasn’t even trying.  *sigh*

    Gosh, I’ve never known someone who rhymes a lot, unintentionally. I don’t know if I’d notice it right away, but I guess I would eventually.

    Read your book and wanted to thank you. I am already blogging at Homebody.freedom.com (your tip?) but trying to figure out how to go out on my own. A little confused still, but learned a lot. I recommend “Blogging with Moxie” to any newbie.

    Still trying to figure out how to order up from the host + blog menus. I am looking to publish a blog and dedicated email product, with room for advertising. Not sure how to align the planets. 

    Anyway, love your web site too!
