2 For 1

I’m aware I just posted less than 5 minutes ago, but to be perfectly honest…I’ve missed blogging. So this post is like that second stone you toss down the dark hole. You listened intently for a response with the first stone, but it never it hit bottom. True you only waited mere seconds before dropping the second one, but it’s just so fun to throw rocks!

So my friend, Downtown Brown, told me she was going to take self defense this summer, but she dropped it because the Gui costs $30 bucks. She said, “What’s the point, it’s not like I’ll be wearing it when I’m attacked on the street.” Then it hit me! Not her amateur unschooled judo chop, but an idea. Why not just buy the Gui instead of taking the class. People buy security alarm signs all the time without installing the actual alarm. Just wear the Gui when you go jogging at night. As an added bonus, you’re wearing all white so no cars will hit you either. If following my idea, be sure to purchase something other than a white belt. To be honest, if I saw someone walking down the street wearing a white belt I would take it as more of a challenge. My thoughts would be, “Hmmm I wonder if I could take that guy?” or “I wonder how much he knows?” or “Perhaps I should get in a few punches now before he becomes a black belt later.”

Just Another Regularly Scheduled Blog

Most delinquent bloggers return to posting with a determination to never allow their blog to lapse again. They may even vow that from now on things will be different! From now on nothing will stop them from blogging! I, on the other hand, am making no such promise. Should the four month frenzy of school rear its ugly head again, I will be gone. There will be no message, blog, or note. No comforting words that state, “Involved in school be back in 4 months.” I will simply be gone. Then, maybe, just maybe, one day I’ll return.

Now having lowered all your expectations, I plan on posting all year long and not taking as many credits next fall. Ya see, I took 17.5 credits this last semester and worked. I also missed the last week of school just before finals. I’m sure many of you have experienced stressful times when you have a lot on your plate. Perhaps school is on your plate, or a troubling relationship, or quite simply a lot of greasy food from Shoney’s buffet. When that time comes its important to learn from your experience. What did I learn? Be careful when dishing up buffet food, signing up for classes, or taking the relationship to the next level. Often your eyes are bigger than your stomach and you may wind up with a stomach ache, headache, or even heartache.

And now a brief apology to all those whose mouse clicking finger is aching from checking my blog. To all you loyal bloggers who have been painstakingly checking my blog lo these many months; I sincerely apologize…to both of you.
