I woke up this morning and checked the weather. It has been rainy the past few days in Chicago, and since I bike to work I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t going to rain. Bad weather this summer has been rare and I’ve hardly had to pay attention.
Vlog – I Took Your Suggestions (Bad Idea)
For some reason the camera angle is such that I appear sinister and untoward. I assure you that I’m not. No, really.
Promote Your Blog On My Blog Right NOW – Take II
Yes, it's another Wil Wheaton pimp photo. It has to be, of course.
Six weeks ago I put up a post where, as a thank-you to your readership and support, I asked you to promote your blog here.
It ended up becoming the biggest day in this blog’s history. Within 48 hours over two thousand people visited. Many of you saw traffic spikes and gained new visitors. Awesome!
I Think Everyone Was Depressed Today
asdfasdfadf
Yes, I’m talking about you.
We all had a sad day today. At least the few people I talked to. And since four people is a relational sample to the rest of the earth’s population, this is apt. We were sad.
Let us collectively stick out our lower lip and make a solid frowny-face. That is actually fun so don’t do it too much as it takes the darkness out of depression. Stay in the shadows for a little big longer, please. I need you at your worst so I don’t feel alone.
Let’s Get Fixed – New Feature
A few days back I wrote about a new feature I’m going to try here on the site. Instead of just reading about me and all my silly thoughts, we’re going to workshop this mofo. Together.
In short, we are all all simply not good enough as we are. Trust me. You’re not.
I Just Started Reading Blogs Yesterday – A Confession
I typed in "reading blogs" into the search of my image provider and this was the first result. I guess this is what reading blogs is all about. Horses and sand and shit.
Okay, this may sound strange but – I don’t read blogs.
I never did, actually.
I could not name one blogger when I started. It never occurred to me to see what else was out there. As my own website started picking up steam last fall I attended BlogWorld LA. There I met many bloggers and had a fantastic time.
You And I Are Going To Start Improving This Sunday
I wish someone would write me a monologue for the movie they adapted from their own award-winning play.
It’s Friday night and I’m nearly passed out after many Papa John’s slices. Eating pizza is a great way to ensure a heavy sleep. However, I had forgotten to write my post. My bedroom now smells like farts by the way. One of the other benefits of pizza.
Who Wants My Ex-Wife’s Lab Coats?
I just looked it up - this is how turtles bang! No foolin'!
My girlfriend Jessica left today after a few weeks here in Chicago. This is a woman who I met through my blog (sort of), came to my parent’s house for Thanksgiving dinner on our first date, and now voluntarily chooses to share a bed with me.
While at BlogHer she stayed here in Chicago and watched the animals. She also took a day and completely re-designed my closet during which she found a bunch of my ex-wife’s stuff.
I’m A Shit To My Girlfriend
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, cat. Getting mad and screaming at that toy is a totally useful thing to do.
I was talking to Jessica last night and she had asked how therapy went earlier that morning.
Well, you know how the night before I was mad at you because I thought you weren’t paying enough attention to the television?
She remembered. It’s hard to forget your boyfriend nearly yelling at you for keeping you eyes on your plate of food instead of up at the television. I am so nuts I literally watched her watching the tv. I counted twenty seconds of her staring at the plate without looking up. For some reason this was totally unacceptable.
