Just Call Me J. Diddy
Joelle said at some point on October 2, 2008
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.
if you are gonna be J-Diddy then I wanna be D-Dolla…
I am down with your rhyming.... call it a gift…
But that is not what I really wanted to say.. I just wanted to Thank You .. well you and my daughter for finally getting me to start one of these here Blogs… I am I think a quasi blog virgin....
(* liked to look… not to do… ) but I am getting my feet wet, and doing the best I can… not as easy as it looks I must say.....

Good stuff. Dr. Suess don’t have nuttin’ on you.
Eminem has the same problem.
Not that that is Eminem’s only problem. I’m just sayin’.

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!
Hey, girl - you doing okay? Just checking in. Getting ready for your birthday? I’m not ready to start saying that I’m 35. Ugh.

@becky: Hey, I missed this comment.
I’m good… I’ve kind of ignored my birthday this year. I feel 35 and need to do something about that.
Thanks for this good post, I really keep enjoying checking up your posts from time to time.
Cheers.
