Trying to Make Cents of it All

Ok so I took a small Hiatus from posting. My life’s been very busy lately what with homework, not dating, and more homework. I figured no one would notice a short lapse in my entries. Today, I was re-awakened to my sense of civic duty when an old friend emailed me about using one of my former posts in his new stand up routine. He says he’s performing this Friday at 8:30 pm at the Wilkinson center.

Yes friends, I got through to someone! To my utter surprise, my blog is actually read and occasionally even remembered. Sure my blogs have never
uncovered a government conspiracy,
a breaking news story,
or convinced states to raise their emission standards.

But come this weekend, bored students will fork over a whopping 2 dollars to hear a blog they never read (but should have). True, it will take less than a minute for my friend to work it into his routine but at two bucks a pop, that minute is worth about 3 cents. You’ve heard about putting in your “two cents” but for one night I will be putting in my “three cents.” And so I am re-inspired to post again as I join the ranks of other faithful and obscure bloggers everywhere, in whose mighty presence I shall no longer fill ashamed. And so to blogging critics who say, “There are too many bloggers, starfish, or comedians to possibly make a difference--I say, “it made a difference to that guy.” And too you reader, I say, keep blogging! The next blog you post could touch someone’s life or maybe, just maybe, their funny bone.

Is Anyone There?


Ok so my friend Rebecca reminded me that I have a blog! This was after my trip to Alaska where all cares melted away while fishing. I flew home and it was like what? School? Work? Blog? These were foreign terms that somehow didn't apply to my new fishing lifestyle. So today I had a friend introduce me to his new blog and re-inspire me to write in mine. So this blog is kinda like a shout out. You know that feeling when you’re in a big home by yourself and you hear a creek so you shout out is anyone home? Well this blog is nothing like that. It's more of a political poll to see if I still have any supporters somewhere....out there....beneath the pale moonlight. Is someone thinking of me and...Ok sorry I usually don't burst into song on my blog. How embarrassing. So I can't always control my singing. Sometimes I'll just start singing Take it Easy by the Eagles as I'm doing dishes I don't even realize till someone comments. Anyway, if you read this please leave a comment as this is a poll even if the comment is that you don't support or read my blog. Oh and here's a halibut I caught in Alaska. It's weight is somewhere between 135 lbs. and 150 lbs. It is currently under debate because it was tampered with between the time it was caught and the time it was weighed.
