There is a part of you that feels terrible when you look at your blog and realize how many days it has been since anything new appeared on it. Strange twinges of egotistical thought (egotistical simply because we want to fool ourselves into thinking that there is a faithful readership out there, [and if there is such a faithful readership {oh please let there be a faithful readership} hopefully they will forgive these bouts of silliness] but otherwise why do we bother to write, let alone care?) that one will try to justify anyway. This paragraph I’ll blame on - global warming.
Ultimately the title of this post, which is being crafted for no other reason than that I feel terrible about not crafting posts, is in reference to the fact that; given the details of my ability to deal ‘responsibly’ with the various tasks that are appointed to us as humans today: that which I am best at (other than attempting to use every possible sort of punctuation) is inventing excuses (although a sympathy vote for tangents has to be uttered [especially as uttered inside a set of parenthetical somethings]).
What was going on…
if i could tangent… anyone still reading this… why?
Oh yeah… my excuses for not posting.
No… it was really the fact that I wanted to post.
Hmm… well the internet was off-limits to me for a couple of days…
Ok, there we go, now we’ve got a tie in… I present for your amusement… Excuse A
I’ve been so poor there have been two themes running thru my head; one being that of the artistic integrity of poverty, the second being the fact that all of my friends must have been assholes in their former lives to be paying me the benefit of various acts of kindness performed to keep my poverty-rattled-self sane. (and to which there is no easy reply except a deep gratitude that should be expressed outside of such a dreadful forum as this)
Yeah… so the internet went out for awhile… and I managed to post once in that period… but my financial situation was affecting my sleep and that’s no position to attempt anything as odd as blogging.
(ultimately I think the plan is to construct a post so wildly terrible that either plant or fullery [or aye!! come on… that one post was brilliant… love to have more] will have to post something to make certain that this nonsense isn’t riding in the top-most position)
ahem
excuse two….
{damn right here is where i figured out that i need a song… so here’s where you’ll get a song… don’t know which one yet… cope…}
(ok, went back, read and inserted this… i think it’s funny… [good song too] {gotta keep it bouncy, so turn it up and admit that you love this stuff}])
ok… sorry… excuse two… i like this one… perhaps not my favorite.. but good…
I woke up the other morning and half-remembered a dream.
I remember laying there and thinking that I needed to recall what it was that I had been dreaming about, itself an interesting endevour with the brain, recollecting dreams can lead to all manner of things… that morning, instead of recollecting the dream, I came away with the idea for a play, which has yet to stop bothering my brain and has, in fact, led me to the taping of sheets of paper to the walls so that I can work on character development and other odd behaviours of the human trapped up in communication with that which one believes is the muse…
at this point the play is to be called ‘the man with no original lines’ however an earlier title consideration went to ‘the accidental shakespeare company’
yep… never written a play before… never really considered the idea to be honest…
Ok… excuse ‘C’
‘C’ is for cookie that’s good enough for me.
this has to be my favorite excuse (remember… excuses relate to lack of posts from my personage) and the one that makes the most sense, i mean honestly… just think about it.
It was Thursday… I was out walking… coming back from the school experience… when all of a sudden I was snatched up by some sort of transdimensional octopus in a four-piece suit. I’m not allowed to explain the rest of it because the interstellar agency that hired me doesn’t want this information being leaked to the general public… but long story short… the world that you are enjoying right now… yep… earth and society spinning in this odd orbit where it is… i just saved that… again.
Ok… no more excuses… I’d apoligize for the lack of posts… but with nonsense like this… do you really want to be reading this stuff anyway…

I read somewhere that many of a human’s finest legacies are unintentional, and I would like to pay homage here to what might be one of yours: a new and original (at least as far as I know) Smiley. I discovered it at the end of one of the parenthetically profligate lines in your post above - the line beginning with “gotta keep it bouncy….” It’s a wonderful and inspired Smiley it seems to me, a complicated but steadfast Smiley that offered itself as a mirror to my own smile. It could arguably serve as an icon for the smile of a cognoscente (of course now, as too often happens to me, some alert reader will doubtless point out that this particular Smiley has been around since the typewriter was invented [if so, so be it {and in that case I shall think of it as the Classic Cognoscente Smiley and call it good}])
