I got my days mixed up. Here I am, trying to get a fresh start on this blogging thing, trying to find my rhythm, and already I&#8217;m a mess. I&#8217;m posting things days late and back-dating them, posting them out of order. Chaos. Why bother. Ask Camus. I&#8217;m going to write a story tomorrow and call the main character Kamiss.<\/p>\n<p>I posted a slam-style poem yesterday, thinking today was the day for one of those newspaper-column type posts. But now here I am doing more of a personal whinging kind of thing. I tried, I really did, I went to Huffington post to see if there was something there that might inspire me. Just a bunch of nonsense about Mitt Romney, and then I scrolled to an article about Olivia Munn getting naked for a PETA ad. Yeesh.<\/p>\n<p>But I will prevail! I have not plated WoW in months! I&#8217;ve been flossing my teeth every day and doing crunches on the exercise ball! Today, I was only supposed to do 8 pull-ups, and I did NINE. Do you hear me? I will smell what the Rock is cooking!<\/p>\n<p>I swear to god I&#8217;m not drunk right now as I write this. But I did have a LOT of fried chicken for dinner. Text for a future tweet: &#8220;I have a love-hate relationship with fried chicken. I love to eat it, and I hate when it&#8217;s all gone.&#8221; Folks can steal that one, use it for anything they like. I don&#8217;t mind.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, sorry about this horrible blog folks, folks. And by &#8220;folks&#8221; I mean the two of you who read my claptrap. I&#8217;m going to write-me-up a cheat sheet and a post it and stick it on my monitor. And I&#8217;ll try to get some things written in advance. And drink lots of water, because we all know what that fried chicken&#8217;s doing to my innards.
