HIPOCRITE

Here’s me, making a noise about bullying - again 🧏🏻 Because? Well if it’s not retired ~ my noise won’t get tired. 

So let me tell you about double-daffodils, Gareth and Wendy Monkley:

They’re bravely charging forth in the agency arena – being incredible and taking no prisoners, making their living off #Sanlam (and others) with their breathtaking, industry-leading digital delights. 

Just a glimpse at their Wix-made website will have you salute, and then connect the dots for why they sulk about my storytelling on YouTube / SoundCloud, and lodge complaints to those platforms so that my content is removed. 

I’m obviously still learning – and was reminded so when Wendy said my career-level experience was that of an intern… Their company profiles on the various, industry-relevant platforms get me giddy with awe and I can understand why they’d pout for my versions that don’t applaud them. 

My face-palm confusion is that from 1st July to ±22nd October, I was the favourite boytjie, showered with love, and and and… but must have then, thereabouts, stumbled into some bad lighting. 

It’s still lank-dark here, and my bank account has about R0,04c in it. Here’s me not agreeing that I fvkced this one up. 

Do you guys think Wendy and Gareth would be cute for a Krimbo snack with someone from Sanlam? We could grease the wheel about integrity, dosh, and digital (so I can learn because I’ve been assured I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to that, hashtag-intern, hashtag-novice). 

Pffft. 

Obnoxious admission: 

I’ve got chops, my magical mind, and time. 

Kiff okes. Piggy Christmas wishes.

Ernest Hemingway said that all it takes to write is to sit down at your typewriter and bleed. This is the other way I do — when the mood is best made known by the ‘mashup’. Not unlike the ways I heart-sleeve with words, but here I rearrange from the ways others wove their art form interpretations into new ways for channeling mine. Each still a tale of times that touched… these are my 'WritingStoriesDifferently' labours of love.  Tweeting @DylanBalkind | Instagram: dylshkibab
