We've missed hearing it....
Well, if you won't communicate via your blog, at least come over and have a beer.
No news is good news, at least judging from your plumbing posts.
The best way to get your voice back is this----sit down in a chair and put an anvil on your gonnies----whack the anvil extra hard with a sledge hammer---you'll get your voice back---and I hope so---I have been a way for two weeks-and this is the best you can do????????didn't you wife get named to some committee or something??? if you you can promote the better half promote-- maybe I have you and wifee comfused with someone else --if so sorry---but please get back with the program---chbpod
It's easy to write when it's fun. Real writers can write when they don't necessarily want to.
Write! We love hearing you. A day without you is like a day without a hirsute Son of Abraham. Just pick a topic and let your fingers do the rest.
Ok, Ross, shake it off. It's been a couple of weeks and you have to get back in the ball game.
Look outside and post about the first thing you see.
Or perhaps you can post about Ben Downing's first 150 days in office. That would be yesterday.
It doesn't matter what, but get your head in the ball game. There must be something going on. Look at Tom over in Morterboard. He's posting on five things in one day!
Look at the Berkshire Eagle and post about Great Barrington. There's always something in the Eagle about Great Barrington.
Look to Marge's site and post on things people don't want to talk about. Get them talking and she will have to change the title.
Go find a plant in your yard and ask DP what it is. (I should have asked him advice before cutting my hedges.)
Or how about getting on the Jack Tremblay presidential freight train? It's leaving the station and you need to decide if you want to be left behind. We can go geocaching and place his buttons in all the sites. Now that’s a movement!
Make a nasty comment about baroque music like it ain't exhuberant enough and get attacked by Wes Flinn. (Although, perhaps not baroque music, cause if it ain't baroque, don't fix it.. but I digress..)
Post about banning trans fats and maybe Greg will invite you over for beers and a discussion of French foods and the needs for trans fats, or Chris can give you pizza tips on healthy eating.
Kick the crap out of Stonewall Jackson and see if Andy responds in kind. You can do that tommorroww!
Post your top ten ipod downloads and see if anyone recognizes them. Amy's music choices makes me feel old. Doesn't anyone download Ace of Base anymore??!! Don't be afraid. Be bold. The Last Visible Blog lists William Shatner as one of his favorite musicians. How embarrassing can any post be after that?
Or how about movies? See if you can get Pizza Jen to write a critique of your movie choices.
Or, perhaps more towards the plumbing themes, you can tell Clark Billings that you have the wind something awful and he can rant on about windmills.
My point is simply this; there are a lot of things going on, from the war in Iraq to $400 haircuts for Presidential candidates. Say something will ya?
You just have to get your voice back. Your plumbing posts made me spit water out of my nose. Great stuff. We can all SOOOO relate.
All right, start off sotto vocce....just a small post about something that bothers you, like people who use cell phones while driving, or even text message. Ooh that is crazy! My pet peeve is people who try to get on an elevator before the people on the elevator get off. That drives me nuts because it is not only common courtesy to the people try to get off, but it is just easier to get on without having people have to try to squeeze by you.
Ok, now you post.
For the record, on my 150th day in office, I went to the Hot Dog Ranch (Pittsfield edition), got 5 dogs all the way, and then went to the opening of a public art exhbit in Stockbridge. Not a lot to write about, but since Dan wanted to know, I had to oblige.
If you're taking post ideas, how about "Paris Hilton has found God and is embracing her brain." Discuss.
Or if you're still in your self-reflective phase, how about "I just shoved a pot of eucalyptus juice up my nose." Discuss.
Or if you're still apathetic about, like, everything, how about "The Police are on tour. So fucking what." Discuss.
Or if you're looking to post about music, how about "Rooney is on tour with Fergie." Discuss. Actually caught this show at The Pageant in St. Louis. Felt about 16 and that was fun. Got Rooney to sign a CD. How come I don't have a signed Crevulators CD? Huh?
Blog breaks are good. I take them all the time. Just giving you shit.
Peace,
C-Money
