Without Me!

By Kaycee Nilson

"Now this looks like a job for me,
So everybody just follow me,
Cause we need a little controversy,
Cause it feels so empty without me!" - Eminem - Curtain Call "Without Me"

So.....It's Feb. 15, and all of a sudden I get slammed by someone that knew (they think they know me) some dirty things and then couldn't resist the urge to send me the thread of hate that they started just in time for my return from my total loss of communications.

Does this sound familiar? Hey Jeff Gordon fans, sorry about the Budweiser Shoot-out. Tony came in third, but for once I do not have any remark on Jeff Gordon because no one can help mechanical failure.

I'm feeling controversial because this person cannot communicate their issues with me in a private forum, but they can send me the link to what they wrote. (Note of sarcasm coming up!) How nice and lovely.....what a wedding present! Why Thank You!!!!

So the lyrics at the top are a song that is off of the new CD and when I heard it, I felt like I knew what the song was saying.

Ok, back to my point, I'd rather have some one come to me personally before writing junk. Web junk is what it is.

As for getting my book published, I have been talking to agents and publishers. Assuming anything about something you have not read is not only sad, but it's downright rude. It took John Grisham 9 years to publish his first book, "A Time To Kill." When a person doesn't publish within one year of writing, people are quick to judge. They don't have any idea of what it takes to publish something you have labored, sweated, stayed up late at night for.

Quick judgement of people is why the world is as messed up as it is now. I believe in a saying that Momma always said, "Never judge a book by it's cover." It's a saying that everyone should believe in.

Yes, I guess I am controversial and that's alright by me. I'm not on this earth to make friends with everyone that appears in my life in one form or another. I listen to a lot of Eminem because it's like one of his songs, "I am what you say I am." I listen to ICP as well. I listen to all kinds of music depending on my mood at that moment.

And yes, I think that the hate mail I get and how many times I get slammed on message boards I don't think that people skip my columns because they want to see what I will write next.
