You'd think that with that much time off, this blog would be insightful, full of wisdom, and close to Pulitzer Prize material.
Think again.
It's the same old stuff it's always been. Why raise the bar this early in the year?
First some Kinky music to start the year off with.
Almost as much as I liked the last twelve days I've had off from work.
God I love being off from work.
So, meandering....
Haven't written a new post since Decemeber 1st, but I had the highest number of hits in a month since I started. With some cajoling , begging. and shameless self promotion I had nearly 1100 hits last month.
First thanks to anyone that takes the time to read this tripe (and I mean that in the most sincere way possible).
But I know it was because I inundated you all with post after post after post...after post.
The equivalent of shooting fish in a bucket. Well, maybe not. I don't think I know what that saying really means. I don't like that one. I may never say it again...or I might use it a half dozen times tomorrow..who can say? Certainly not me.
Meandering.
I didn't know Santa smoked.
Come to think of it I think I did see some ashes on the empty cookie plate that he left behind in the kitchen.
Bastard.
During the month I took off I went through the process of applying to the website administrator that I post this blog on (Blogger) to run some advertisements. Once I got out of the mindset of "selling out to the man", I thought, "Why not? Maybe I can even pick the establishments whose ads would show up on my site. I know a few local businesses and local business owners that might appreciate it and I could make some cash at the same time".
You see, there is no money in this game the way I currently do it.
It's only done for the accolades.
Except there are no accolades.
So I thought, go for the cash. Hell, Iggy Pop sold Lust of Life to Carnival Cruse Lines for crying out loud.
Where was I?
Oh, requesting ads on my site.
So, I go through the process only to have Blogger send me a note that I had been declined because of my blogs not meeting the "criteria" that needs to be met for them to allow advertising.
I think it's because I like to swear.
And make inappropriate comments about Santa.
Frig them.
What else?
Oh, I've been sledding with my youngest a few times during my vacation.
For those of you that don't live in the Northeast, sledding is where you find a slope that is covered in snow, put something between you and the snow, and, starting at the top, turn yourself into a projectile and shoot to the bottom of said slope.
Unfortunately some parents have not taught their kids proper sledding etiquette.
Like ...
DON'T WALK BACK UP THE MIDDLE OF THE HILL!
This drove me crazy.
God forbid their parents say anything to them like,
"GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY JUNIOR. CAN'T YOU SEE PEOPLE ARE WAITNG TO GO DOWN THIS GODDAMMED HILL BUT CAN'T BECAUSE YOU ARE BLOCKING THEIR WAY? JESUS CHRIST. USE YOUR HEADS YOU LITTLE BASTARDS. Love you"
Any fool knows you go down the middle of the hill, promptly get the hell out of the way (or at least don't lay at the bottom of the hill licking yellow snow) , and walk up the side of the hill. Repeat, the SIDE OF THE HILL.
Anyway , it's the parents fault.
...and I wonder why they won't let me advertise on here.
Enough for now.
So much for this year being any better than last.
Peace and love.
