Woe is me… what’s a monkey to do?
The Top Banana set up this blog almost a month ago and told me I’d better get busy writing “content” (What is that anyway? Stories, news, and even musing I can do, but content?). I’ve actually put pencil to paper several times but nothing seems to fit. Nothing seems right. Come on big guy cut me some slack! I’m just a monkey- sheesh!
Anyway, I talked it over with the Gang and they went easy on me for the first couple of days then they started turning on me. I guess they want their 15 minutes of fame. TV Girl, always the one with her head in the lights, began giving me not so gentle jabs like: “What do you call a monkey with writer’s block? A choked-up chimp!” Ha-ha. The fact of the matter is, I haven’t found my voice yet. Don’t get me wrong, I can hoot and holler with the best of the Gang, but for some reason, when asked to toot my own horn, I clam up.
Here’s what I’m thinking. I want this space to be about the Gang and me. I want it to be about our adventures near and far. Occasionally I’ll be turning the pen over to the other Monkey Gang members (Dragon Girl of Misery says she’d love a turn but I don’t know… could be too depressing!). I’d also love to hear from you and some of your adventures with the gang.
Oh... Here's some good news- Top Banana says he' taking me to Japan in July. Woo-hoo! I hear those crazy Japanese monkeys really swing!! He hasn’t said who else will be going along but knowing him I’m betting he’ll play favorites.
Hang in there.
