can I ask you why you dont feel like a Elvis fan anymore?
You just did, so yes you can
I don't know why, it's been hapenning since about 18 months or so ago.
I have nothing really that's intruding into it, I'm happier than ever, I feel fitter than ever, I'm richer than ever - life couldn't be better and it seems coincindentally to have gotten better the less Elvis has been in it.
Suspicious Minds came on the radio today. You'll never guess what I did - I turned it off! Couldn't be assed to listen to it for the millionth time in my life.
I've fast become disillusioned with some Elvis fans as well.
I used to make DVD's, some on here will have recieved one or two from me. I've never sold one to anyone, never traded any either, I always just sent them out for free to wherever they needed to go. I'm not the only one, there's others on here who have been doing it more and for longer than me.
But I stopped a little while back and decided that requests for copies would be entertained, I'd send a copy out to anyone who asked and all I asked in return was for them to consider making a donation to Tom In North Carolinas Operation Teddy Bear appeal. As soon as I'd asked the fans to give something in return for something they asked for from me I never heard a word again from them.
Maybe I've literally become bored with Elvis overall and not just with Aloha. Maybe the guy has run out of things to offer me after being dead for 30 years. He had a career lasting about 8000 days thats' all and 10 percent of that was given up to Uncle Sam, so he's done allright to have my attention for as long as he has.
I dont have the time anymore, no, not the time it's more that I don't have the desire to keep on writing about it. I don't like what I write either anymore. I feel okay writing this now but in a few days I'll regret it or whatever to the extent I'll just wanna see it gone.
This MB isn't what it once was to me. The direction it's taken doesn't suit me or appeal in the same way, nothing wrong with it, just that the tone, the content, the pace, the subjects, the whatever has changed - or I have - to the extent that I don't have any passion for it anymore. Nothing sinister or dark or another agenda, it's changed for me and I'd like to just move of in whatever direction I end up moving off in.
I have no other plans to go in any particular direction, I just wana stop moving in this one.
My sig refers to the change. The old style of FECC is dead and gone, long live the new FECC, just without me in it.
I think some have misunderstood my asking for my posts to go, it was just simply asking all who post on here to return a favour and gat together to back me in my request to have them removed en masse rather than me manually removing them all.
If its' a no that you don't want to do me that favour then fair enough, it would have been a nice gesture but I think I'm tough enough to accept that the favour doesn't want to be returned.
