I dedicate this to Chelsea @LauraW50860

I am always startled, don't you know
By the women who like my work.
I share my stuff the media way
Socially: the internet's main perk.
I'm grateful for the attention
Of notifications that I gain:
Who doesn't like a little heart
To help you start your day?
But as time goes on, I'm starting to think
That's something's not quite right
Because of who I attract to me:
They don't really fit my type.
I have nothing against pouting, per se
Or big round bouncy breasts
All but revealed to me in a selfie
Very short on text.
Whatever floats your boat -
Which they most certainly would.
Ladies, I prefer spandex
To Spam on X,
And I'm not a big fan of that.
Just so you know.
Because you want to know me.
Or seem to at least.
I do wonder what they expect from me,
This little writing girl?
That they'd be interested in me?
- I'm just surprised a bit, that's all.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

I'm torn between wanting to laugh and feeling sorry for you. Have you blocked them?
Rachel, Bravo! Hope it stops the bullying.
Exactly!! Well said, Rachel, those trolls are ridiculous.
Wow! This is intense! I feel like I just entered a story I did not know existed. I guess I’m still a social platform virgin. I love the wry humor, Rachel. I have already read this four times.
Oh, I do love to troll the romance scammers. It's always interesting to see what prepubescent boys in Nigeria think we should find attractive.
Commenting upon the commenters is an inversion of perspective whose time has come!
