Lately, I've been getting quite a few responses from concerned followers that show a sign of astonished disbelief that ole AngryMan (Me) has somehow evolved into a creature of more serene temperament...???
I've even had people suggest that I should change my 'Handle' here on Steemit to reflect the once hidden tender side of my personality which has recently, seemingly surfaced; appearing more intellectually gifted, as well.

Humpfttttt...what if I told you that not ALL New York City mobsters and associates were/are complete imbeciles?Only most, fall into that category; some of us even finished a semester or two of college... Me..?... I actually completed a semester or two of college, four or five times :>)
And...as far as empathy, compassion, tenderness, kindness and all that other junk...I've known one or two other individuals who possessed such fine attributes; one was even a psychopathic, killer whos ordinary day job was a 'Priest'.
That guy was one of the kindest, most compassionate murderers that you'd ever come to know... He NEVER would lay a hand on old folk, a child or any kind of furry, four legged animal; he just shot adult men and women in the head when paid to do it, or whenever the urge surfaced...
I mean...it wasn't as if the guy went around all day long popping off people, just for fun... Jeezzzzzzzzz…

Anyway... what the hell was I talking about?!?!?!?
It's tough getting old and forgetful; well, usually that is... Sometimes I like forgetting stuff; especially my name, date of birth and where I live, when stopped by a Cop for speeding down the highway, running slow-pokes in front of me, off the road.
All the traffic tickets I get these days have John Doe written on them, and a variety of addresses. I haven't been to Court on a single one, for years now... and I don't even get threatening notices in the mail from dumb Judges, or Cops busting down my door with 'No Knock' Search Warrants...
Come to think of it, I did have a Joint Task Force squad of Cops bust down my door recently, but it turned out to be a mistake; they chose the wrong house (mine) by accident and apologized profusely for shooting me as I lay on the floor cussin' at em…!!!

It turned out that they all suffered from dyslexia and read the address backwards...
So, my friends...I'll leave you with the above little tidbit of bull-crap that somehow popped into my head while tapping at this keyboard tonight. I truly sat down to write something meaningful, and of potential value, till I realized nobody really wants that kind of boring shit around here...
Listen...go to 'Minds.com' or 'Ted Talks' if you want that pseudo-intellectual type garbage...I think that the 'TRULY' gifted minds are RIGHT HERE on the Steem Blockchain, pretending to be hard assed, dumb-shits like 'me' in order to maybe bring a bit of laughter to down-trodden souls, desperately seeking a ray of light, as they stumble down the dark pathway of death and destruction.
That's it, my friends...See ya again some time. I'm outta here.
Thanks for reading.
