Oh man… I am really kinda drunk right now, and I shouldn’t do posts when I’m drunk because the crack squirrels don’t like it… they seem to think that being drunk makes me think for myself and ignore them… but I had an awesome adventure today and met an actual blog friend in real life and it was totally cool… and you are all so jealous…

And I guess that is really all I am going to say right now… but I will do posts about this magical day before too much longer… and there will be pictures… and you will be jealous.

A poem… yeah, I know, many of you see the word ‘poem’ and you run screaming… but this one is funny… and it is about Christmas… and why I might be way too obsessed with this blogging thing…

Family gathered for Christmas, a brightly burning log I try to get in the spirit of things but I’m thinking about my blog The kid’s have opened their presents, there’s booze in my eggnog I sit and smile and nod a … Continue reading

Everybody go to your ‘new and improved’… also known as craptastic… stats page, then find where it says you can visit your old stats page… and vote to HATE the new stats page…

I guess this post is technically part of my ‘You say you want a revolution’ series of posts that I did recently, because it is definitely about the horrible new changes that WordPress is sticking us with… but I don’t … Continue reading
