<p>Hi friends, Happy Saturdaze.</p>
<p>Just checking in to say how are ya.</p>
<p>As I was making coffee this morning I got to thinking, watching the coffee grounds swirl around the sink and after checking on my laundry cycle I thought about something someone said to me once, how I was a &#8220;temptress&#8221;. </p>
<p>I stuck that in my bonnet for a rainy day. Today. Then I came up with a joke about it, as one does when they&#8217;re forced to look at themselves. So, I&#8217;m writing a new book called the art of temptation: something I used to know how to do.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the joke.</p>
<p>Anyway, when it comes to marketing, one of the major important steps in the advertising process, is to tempt. Or, to tantalize (delight) then convert into leads.</p>
<p>Bet you weren&#8217;t expecting this Mad Men shit foisted on you on a Saturday!</p>
<p>How do I change or evolve? How do I eclipse myself now that I can&#8217;t be as brazen and not saying that I cannot. I just mean. How many selfies does it take, because it doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to start making Facebook Live videos once I get proper lighting. Then, I will read to you. Why? So you can hear my voice. Then. I will make singing videos, or audio recordings too because that&#8217;s how arrogant I am about my singing ability.</p>
<p>I will also lose some weight by lifting some weights once in awhile. And by dieting. LAME.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re good to yourself and take care of your looks you feel more confident instead of masquerading in a costume day in and out.</p>

<p>We had &#8220;book club&#8221; twice this week. The second night being last night. A Fridate. Success. We drink through it because the subject matter calls for it plus, we&#8217;re like reading here man. I feel like Oprah&#8217;s Book Club had wine in it. I am able to keep Julian listening for chapters at a time. It helps with our acting and Rule of The Bone is an easy read.</p>
<p>My friend Sarah (of Radmad infamy. Killer Karaoke parties in the beaches, where I now live, epic gal) <a href="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/116/366129094_67279a68b4_o.jpg">bought a painting of mine where I emulated one of the femur bones</a> from the cover of Rule of the Bone THAT is how hardcore passionate I am about this fucking book! </p>
<p>I first picked it up from SSS High and the first page had the word <em>weed</em> on it and I was sold dude.</p>
<p>I see that Banks has a love affair portraying young protagonists. Except for in The Darling, that one is about apes in the congo and all the Civil war bullshit going on there it&#8217;s majorly exciting you need to read it.</p>
<p>I like the run-on sentences and affecting different style accents throughout. Sometimes I read aloud as myself, as a hick, a Canadian, or super white trash-like. I will probably read the first chapter on Facebook Live. I can&#8217;t always be a keyboard warrior. Sometimes the man behind the curtain needs to step out and throw down.</p>

<p>We spent the weekend at my Nana&#8217;s. I got to see my Uncle Jim one last time. He died two days ago. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s a sentimental time of year. Okay sorry for getting somber.</p>
<p>I see a death almost every day on Facebook, we are all in this together.</p>

<p>I came across this recently. That&#8217;s my pops. Miss that guy!!</p>
<p>Okay. It&#8217;s shower time soon but I guess I&#8217;ll finish this off on a better note, hey?</p>
