I have 13 minutes to get this up before I depart work and get on my way to the Muppet's for dinner with her and her Maid of Honor, Taylor. But I had to just give a shout and let you all know that I'm still around, I'm just kind of not feeling it, you know?
Last week I was reminded of a blog I wrote last summer about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie procreating. Since their unnamed reps have confirmed that yes, the most genetically superior human being ever in the history of man has been created and is currently being hosted by a woman who once wore a dirty, old man's blood around her neck after she made out with her brother, I felt it necessary to revisit that post. When I looked at it last week after the first rumblings of the potential uber-being, I was struck by one thing and one thing only:
Man. I used to write so much gooder!
Seriously.
I used to be funnier and fresher and brimming with ideas! Now it's a struggle to even put up even a vague imitation of a real post (See: Anything I posted during or around the holidays).
I really just don't understand. I'm still consuming coffee. I'm still obsessing over sugar-free products. I still hate Will Fraggle. The problem is, when I scan my life for things to write about, nothing's popping out at me anymore. It's been suggested that I'm just in a different place right now and that I'll eventually get my mojo back, but I don't know. I'm feeling very glass-is-half-empty on that one. I've been waiting since the end of the summer and through the fall and for the past several weeks and all I got is nothing, yo.
But thanks for checking in! As soon as the shit starts popping again, you'll know!

Could it be love?
Best bet is to forget about the potential audience.
Reggie is right. About the only time the blog well seems completely dry for me is when I look at the low traffic, or some other indication that no one is reading but me. The amount of traffic never had anything to do with the reason I started blogging.
The blog is more for me to write, and not so much about anyone actually reading it.
Answer this question: Why do you blog?
You want a blog topic?
Go look at Sal's page. Just look at the pics.
That's a book right there as far as I am concerned.
i have observed that when someone's blog starts getting spotty and boring they are either:
1) on meds
2) getting laid
Getting LAID!!!!!! Lucky you...it MUST be love;)
Owen Wilson's just been nailing you to the floor, huh?
Blogger is very far behind on their comment notifications, because I came here to respond to Cynthia and have discovered that the convo has progressed far beyond that! Obviously, a response is required.
Reggie - You always give such great advice when I whine about this shit. Thanks.
Anonymous - Well, duh!
CJ - You're totally right, of course. In the beginning I started it just to get myself thinking and writing and it spawned into what it is now. It's constantly changing, and I suppose every up has its down. However, this down is SO not anything like the last down, which fucking BLEW, so I'll take it and just try to work through it.
Reggie, again - Do you really think I would do something like that and risk burning those images onto my brain for all eternity? However, I would be VERY interested in YOUR review of his page!
Cynthia -
1)does Necon 35 count?
2)Mmm-hmm
Anonymous - Mmm-hmm. ;)
MFDC - how do I answer that without being obscene? And who told you about the floor?!?!?!?
Ok I think I'm going to stop reading the comments now. This is getting disturbing.
