Things to come!

07/16/10 | by Abbey [mail] | Categories: Writing, Random, Site News

Yesterday I got about 4 rapid spam comments on my blog. Whenever this happens I get an email to my phone saying, “NEW COMMENT!” My heart leaps until I read that it is a spam bot giving me a vague few sentences about how well researched my posts are and then using a word like Buddy, Pal, or Friend. Thank you Jordan Shoe Outlet. We really have been friends for years, it is great to see you still read my blog.

OH WAIT.

Then I got all bummed out and curious why no one ever comments on my blog anymore. Then I realized that to get comments I have to post things. Blech. Can’t I just reap the rewards with none of the work? Isn’t that the American dream?

Inspired by Emily, I felt I should explain my absence and express to you that I am in fact guilty about not posting. It isn’t that I don’t have things to talk about! No really, I have all kinds of adventures to blab on and on about. Here is a list of things to come!

THINGS TO COME

-Abbey, Hoppie and Little Brother in Dallas and poor Googling habits
-Patrick’s soap opera life (Spoiler: He may have an evil twin!)
-The road trip that turned into a night at sea
-Abbey vs Hills: A Tragedy in 2 Acts
-Hoppie and my garden that we have named Audrey II
-Canoe trips and Jello Shots

See? Look at all that crap I have to say! I clearly have plenty to talk about. So why am I not blogging?

Because I am a lazy A-Hole who can’t find the time to write about things because I am too busy watching Gilmore Girls and crocheting a blanket. I know it is 100 degrees out but damnit, I need this blanket! Sure I could go to the store and buy one but where is the fun/blistered fingers in that?

Okay, it is only 50% lazy that keeps me from here. The other 50% comes from my marathon training. Running/training takes up a lot of my energy and the thought of sitting at my laptop writing bums me out. The thought of sitting at my laptop cruising the internet with a glazed look on my face, on the other hand, is quite appealing. After this weekend I vow, promise and pinky swear that I will start blogging more. I want to, I really do. The book deal and TV sitcom spin off of my blog can only happen if I keep on writing!

So please enjoy your weekend my friends. Hydrate and SPF up because the sun is trying to kill us all. I will return next week with stories and epic blog posts from Epicville.

PS Two things. First, I didn't proof read any of this. Feel free to point out and harass me for any an all spelling errors, comma splices and other grammar fails. Second, how great is this season of True Blood?

PSS Here is a pic I drew a while back. Enjoy and consider it a gift from my absence.

HA! I love that you complained about spam and got more spam. For some reason, a spambot found my Man Thighs post and decided it was a great way to advertise for cellulite. COOL.

Two more things:
1. Audry II, always awesome.
2. Didn't Patrick die? I need a recap on the Patrick saga because my attention span is too bouncy.

Uhh.... I believe we were promised epic posts of epic-ness this week? Even though I have been nearly somewhat tangentially involved in most everything that you have to write about; I feel you owe it to them, your loyal fan base, and me, the guy who laughs at you. Its only fair that you hold up to your end of the bargain!

Helena- I will find you a bag that big. No worries. :)

Emily- I think I will just leave that spam there. Symbolically. And I updated about Patrick for you.

Hoppie- Nice guilt trip. I approve and look, it worked! Congrats. I taught you well. :D

I don't think you are allowed to make 2 different points in a post script.
PS True Blood is amazing.
