hey just checking in. how aree you 2day?

I'm doin' swell, thank you!

So you know The Stratagems - have you heard their song “Nobody Knows”? It’s not the same as the one on your cylinder, but there are similarities for sure.

Yes, indeed! I think the tune on my cylinder pre-dates those fellas, so they might've taken some inspiration.

Hello, newcomers to my "Blog"! Name's William, and if you wish to refer to me in the third person, you could do with a "he," a "him," and a "his"! I mostly live en abime, so apologies if you're stumblin' across this blog only -- might be a bit disorientatin'! I ventured into this "Tumblr" lookin' to make new acquaintances (with @fortunateisle's help, ha! Ha!)

Reason I'm writin' this li'l' addendum is...as of Saturday, April 20th 2024 at nine a.m. Eastern Time I'll be headin' out from this joint to visit a very special fella. A fella I found thanks to the help of swell folks I met right here!

I may be back in the future.

Who knows! Maybe he'll tag along.

'Til then, enjoy the remnants of this place, and if ya gotta reach me, you can find me en abime!

“Digitized” a wonderful little cylinder I’ve got. Give it a listen by clicking the “Play” button above. Anyone have more info about the song or the singer?

How are you adjusting to the new setting?

Took me a second to get used to all of this newfangled business -- @fortunateisle showed me 'round ages ago, but now I daresay I've got a better handle on it than her!

im adjusting. havent been around this many people since the citizen's band went all quiet, to be honest. takes a little getting used to. will told me what these,um, likes are supposed to be doing and it's kind of scary. i've never wanted to know how much people like every single thing i say. makes me understand why tati's the way she is a little more, maybe. don't know how you all endure it.

I've visited a few juice joints in my time!

william being eighteen is crazy to me he shouldve been at the club

william what do you think of this v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Ha! Ha! Kid, @fortunateisle has pulled this on me many a time.

what would happen if one were to lets say put what youve said here and train an artificial intelligence to act like you. would it be you? or a sad clone (im anti-ai i hope this is obvious)

Well, if I ain't there talkin', it ain't me! I s'pose it'd be a thing guessin' off of an amalgamation of my time on "Tumblr."

Figure it's like how there's tons of fellas named "William Yew" out there. Common name, y'know? But they ain't me!

So not a clone, but a sad...portrait of a fella who looks kinda like me, I s'pose?

Random question, but do you like fireworks?

Huh! S'pose I've never actually seen one, but the idea excites me! I think I've heard firecrackers out of a window once, but to my understanding that's a tad different!

Hi Henry! We found a physical recording from your life, but it's of a very graphic nature. Do you have any clue what it may be about? And would you want us to upload it?

Wahoo! Very graphic, you say? Think it's them salacious tintypes I've been after?

h a ha! i h op e so. but prob ab ly not. um. i rea lly hav e no cl ue. so rr y. ho pe i di dn't kill a m an. bre ad- rela ted or oth erw ise.

Ha! Ha!

i dun no. som e thin gs are bet t er left forgot te n. but i gu ess i' m a l itt le cu riou s. hu h. i hav en't be en curio us in a while.

I mean, if I've learned anything from watching the rest of you folks, gettin' more added to ya makes you more...well, whole. An' if you put it here, it'll help my boy's waves come through a little smoother, I reckon! 'Sides, if it's too personal, you kids have got some kinda "Abime" support "Blog" from the outside, no? You could plop it there!
