Literary violence and associated personas
It is interesting to think about what this blog has become. When I started it I doubted that it would last long, or that I would have over 800 visits within about 6 weeks. I also doubted that it would really be worth that much. And even if you remove the fact that I now have groupies, this blog has helped me quite a lot.
Firstly, you have to understand that the Dave persona I use on the blog is not my real personality. This persona tends to be more arrogant and focused on sex that I am in real life (not that it's not important, just not the fundamental reason for being that you might assume had you read this blog from any length of time). I tend to be less secure in myself that the persona, although the good thing is that that is changing. I am becoming the alpha male, the better male - and if Dave is King, I'm rallying to that banner. So blog has helped good. It's also helped the speed of my writing and the accuracy of my spelling. And it has given me a creative outlet from which I can ramble and rant and smile and make fun of everyone, particularly me. And Claire.
The 'Dave is King' slogan, which came from nowhere one night while killing Tim, Tim, Si, James and Ben has inspired me to create a pseudonym - Davis King. Look out for my best selling Mills and Boon novels soon.
Charlie and I have created a band. It's probably going to remain fictional as he's buggering off and my guitar skills are far below standard. But the band is called The Clap and we've come up with some good song titles. My personal favourite is Help me if you can by going down. Other songs include Take it like a man, boy, take one from the boys and the drinking anthem Please God say I didn't
I gotta give a speech to a whole pile of new postgrads soon. Hmmm. Don't know what to say or what to expect. Could be fun, though. Fresh clay with which I can mould a whole new batch of groupies. Perhaps, perchance, a horde of groupies.
Awesome.
Let me eat cake
