Well I didn't know you cared, folks.
After some rather serious prompting (I woke up with an electronic horse's head in my Inbox this morning) I've decided to return to the blog world. Where have I been you probably aren't concerned with asking?
Well I've been doing a lot of writing, have done some public readings of my work in DC, finished up a degree and all that, but mostly I've been traveling.
It's really been wonderful. I've seen some incredible places and had some great experiences. Really unique and interesting experiences that I think should be made public because I think people would really be entertained by them if they had an hour or two to encounter the stories and the characters involved.
A few months ago I took a trip to South America with a young Asian boyscout friend of mine after I tied some balloons to my house. That was pretty wild. Sadder than I expected, but really colorful.
A couple of months after that my friends and I went to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. I don't remember a whole lot from that, but I did get punched by Mike Tyson. That trip was pretty much laughs from start to finish except for a bit of a dead spot about 3/4 the way through.
And then most recently, I...ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKQUEL.
Okay yeah, I just saw those movies ...I've been in my apartment all year and don't really have much of an excuse for not blogging other than I got lazy and didn't have much to say.
I do feel bad about my time away from ITV and will try to make an effort to do weekly or so posts (granted there's something worth talking about).
So to make it up to you loyal 7 or 8 fans, I thought I might try to catch everyone up with the months that I've been away.
So, here's what you missed since my last post:
-- Barack Obama is president, so that happened (even though Blogger.com doesn't seem to recognize him as their leader, since his name is still marked as a misspell..way to go racist blog server that hates medical care).
-- The New Orleans Saints won the World Cup or something.
-- All of the Golden Girls are dead except the one on SNL.
-- The VH1 Hip Hop Honors happened.
-- THIS is a thing.
-- So is THIS.
-- Vampires are popular with preteens, despite the innate subtexts of lurid
sexuality and domination consistent in vampire literature.
-- Chevy Chase is back on TV.
-- So is singing (on quite possibly the most
unwatchable pseudo-kitsch cringe-fest ever televised) WHY JANE LYNCH WHY?!?!
-- Some website guy says these things are all OUT now:
Luxury Aspirational Editorial
Starbucks
Paris
Hybrid Technology
The Pill
Ballroom Weddings
Yoga
Being thin
Cocktails
Zoloft
(So, sorry everyone in the suburbs, but hooray for fat depressives)
-- I started and stopped and started Tweeting again.
-- The 90s became the fun ironically-retro period that the 80s were the in the early 2000s. I mean..is there ANY chance that in 10 years we think THIS is completely ridiculous?? Yeah, I doubt it too.
-- BP made sure the folks in the Gulf Coast wouldn't have a full decade without catastrophe. (I mean someone had to take them down a peg after the Saints and Treme, right?)
-- Bugles are still the worst snack food ever. Bugles are like the GLEE of chips.
So yeah, that's pretty much everything.
Anyway, now that you're caught up with a world sans-ITV, lets focus on the present.
These things happened on Sunday : - I got rained on thrice. A lot the last time. I got sunburned. Alot. There were swarms of bugs covering people. One guy got eaten and there was just a skeleton holding a Miken Freak 98 bat at home plate when the bugs flew away. I spilled ICYHOT all over everything in my bag and now my bag and apartment smell like Regis Philbin. (PS this blog could not be less about softball. seriously, why do people read this?)
Anyway, it's good to be back and next week should be a really interesting set of games. I look forward to it very much. A special thanks to Leslie "the commisses" Drogin, Chuck, Liz, and others for pushing me to get the blog back up and running.
And a special farewell to the Sharks and Bayside Tigers. Gone too soon. You will be missed...for 2 weeks until Summer season starts.
Thanks for reading everyone!
-Play ball!
