I have no smokes today kids, so buckle up....
The dog days of summer are here, and apparently alot of us rookie bloggers just don't have the steam to keep blogging. I think we put alot of pressure on ourselves to blog daily, and to be honest, there just isn't enough interesting shit to blog about every day unless you start making some shit up.
I might just do that. Intersperse total bullshit into my blog with the truth and let you guys figure it out, who knows.
Anyway, here's what I don't get. What is the point of the 'I'm no longer blogging' post? If we go to your blog, and the last blog entry was April 4th, we're pretty clued in to the fact that you're no longer blogging. Announcing that you're leaving any online community, be it chat, blog, newsgroup, forum, or whatever, is like finishing your meal in a restaurant, standing in your chair as you toss your napkin onto the table and screaming "OK EVERYONE, I'M DONE EATING, GOODBYE FOR NOW AND FOREVER, ANY OF YOU WHO NEED TO CONTACT ME HAVE MY EMAIL".
And if you think that mental image is ridiculous, picture the one where you are back the next day asking for your 'usual'. To your left is the same guy whose head you used to steady yourself on the table when you made your grand announcement,
"You back already? What happened, did you leave your wallet or something?"
Let's face it, the 'I'm leaving' post strictly serves one need, the need to see people post 'nooooo don't goooo' in your blog and pat you on the back. You'll never see one of those posts out of me. If you gotta go, then you gotta go. If you need a break, you need a break. I'll keep going back for awhile, I'll keep checking to see if you've posted anything new. I'll remember you fondly, I understand, and don't want you coming around because you feel obligated to, I have more dignity than that.
You'll never see an 'I'm leaving' post out of me either. The day I quit this foolishness I won't even close the door on my way out, that's just the way I roll.

I THOUGHT it was a "I'm taking a break and I'll be back in a few days so don't worry" post.
Apparenly I'm a bigger ass than I thought. Thanks for clearing that up man.
What makes you so sure I was talking about you?
Prima donna..lol
You did say you were taking a break, so this post doesn't really apply to you. It's pointed at people in general who do this. If I had meant you specifically, I would have called you by name.
I got stones like that.
I forgot the "Smiley face" man, sorry.
Yeah, you got stones alright; Fred and Barney.
Chewables even.
:)
Hey, do you remember a comedian named Brian Haley?
He'd do a bit about getting on the bus or train and announcing who you were and where you were from.
"Hi, my name is Bruce and I'm from Shromburg!!!"
You're "announcing that you're done eating" thing reminded me of it.
I'm now done with this comment.
Dave, yours is the only Blog I'm reading today. D'you get any smokes yet?
You're a computer geek type tight? D'you have your comp at work rigged up with the "Hal" computer voice or anything cool like that?
"Hal, give me back my smokes."
"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that."
"HAL, GIVE ME THE DAMN SMOKES!!!!"
"I'm sensing hostility Dave. You really must calm down."
"Where's that damn pipe wrench...."
LOL
Yeah I just got smokes, and actually I pulled the speakers out of my computer and rigged them to my radio so I can listen to music rather than the incessant beeping and clicking of windows.
I know I can turn that shit off, I just don't want to.
I don't think I've ever seen Brian Haley. But here's something to consider. Here is a list of some of my favorite comedians, in no particular order.
Richard Pryor
George Carlin
Sam Kinison
Dave Chappelle
Eddie Izzard
Dane Cook
Richard Jeni
Denis Leary
Ron White
Bill Engvall
Jeff Foxworthy
Rodney Dangerfield
I just wanted to anounce that I'm done with breakfast.
No Mitch Hedberg?
I am now done with THIS comment too.
He was ok, I didn't see much of him before he passed.
Way to go KOM, on the breakfast front. I had a coke and a smoke...breakfast of champions.
Monkey um..Hooah you got balls and some funny shit to make me laugh.
Joat me and Kaci have seen Mitch Hedberg live at the Capital City Comedy Club in Austin,why do we have to bring ink and paper into this!!!
Monkey Ron White is one of my fav's and so is Rodney Carrington
I don't know what I'm finished with today, but I'm sure something...I'll get back to ya on that one.
