Jason EganIs it fame, that i am feeling... or myself?

It's been 24 hours since my first post and i was quite surprised by the number of people that stopped me in the street to ask me what LipsLament means and 'what's it all about?' Well firstly, i was impressed, and maybe a little worried that these complete strangers knew who i was. My profile picture is a crocodile and i certainly don't think it's an obvious representation of myself. To be honest, i put that picture on to make myself less recognizable. Sure, i have leathery skin and scales, and my teeth are sharp and menacing, but i'm pretty sure i look much more like an alligator. I guess there are a few people too clever for me and were able to see through my deceptive facade. Maybe i should have taken a bit more effort to conceal my large tail. I think i'll tuck it into my sock from now on, instead of trying to make myself look like the late John Holmes. Oh, how i have digressed!!
To those lucky few on the street, i told the truth. These lips are from which i speak of all things speakable. Naturally, i was met with a lot of confused stares and the odd uttering of 'you're full of shit mate!' And if they didn't walk off or spit in my face, i continued. My lamentations are in regards to the state of the world. War, global warming and natural disasters are only a few of many reasons why i already grieve for this world. Locally,
it's high interest rates, high petrol prices and the fact that steamed dims sims have gone up 10c at my local fish and chip shop! It's a crime of which i will go into much more detail in the future.
So that leaves me to what i'm all about. While a lament brings about feelings of negativity and mourning, i like to think that i am here in response to the depressing state of society as a whole. I'm not cynical, just realistic. I don't wish to sweep all the bad things that happen, under a rug. Just to balance them out with a smile, and perhaps a laugh or two. My humour isn't always on the level either, sometimes i'm quite highbrow, but i can also be quite low... low... lowbrow.
So if you do recognise me in the street(god knows how)don't spit in my face or call me shit, just be thankful that i am just trying to make the world a better place.
