The Two-Year Day

I was in a hurry with my last entry last night because the computer was on its last minute of public availability. Otherwise, I would have added more detail to why the media told you in 2007 that I was 'only famous for a day'. They said this shortly after I deleted two years of work from the internet. Once deleted, the best way to make you forget that I had given so much was to tell you I was only famous for a day and let you forget all my songs and laughs. After all, a day isn't long enough to even read all my blogs and listen to all my songs, let alone to write them. With this thought in your head and with my work all erased from the web, they reduced my likely output to perhaps a few songs and a handful of blogs, as far as you could tell. Then they proceeded to illegally sell the whole two years of my work to their sponsors and pass it off as their own content. Imagine my surprise when I tried to get back on my feet in 2010 and I was informed that I was never popular. If the words to my Virtue song are the same now as they were then, I had to have at least been popular enough in 2007 for a woman to ask me out in the library. Isn't that popular enough? Did anyone remember that Madonna song from 2007 in which she requested a portrait drawing? Not unless she wrote it and released it all within the 'one day' I was famous. And how does the unselfish act of drawing a portrait make me a groupie? Listen to my music. Do I sound like a Madonna fan? Was Size a hit? Gee, if it was only popular for a day, why did the business still have their eyes on it the following summer? You see how they would gladly trade away years of your memories to commit crimes against you with my work? And when they trade away your memories like that, they trade away your life. You'll get to the end of your life and all you'll remember is perhaps one day.
