Blogging Blind

I promised everyone (all none of you) that I would write a non-sports related blog. As I start this I have no topic, I have no outline, I have no embarrassing bathroom related incident in mind. In other words, I am blogging blind. Ooooooo! That’s a better title, brb...fixed.

Okay, I asked everyone to vote on my first blog topic, no one actually did. My mom attempted to, but suffered some technical difficulties, 3 others ‘voted’ in the comments section but never sent an email as requested. I hate to split hairs like that, but those were the rules folks.

The consensus seemed to be people wanted me to write about my unfortunate incident with water leaking from stuff in my basement and giving me a brand new phobia of slowly dripping water from unexplained sources. I actually started that blog before realizing that it was neither funny nor all that interesting, perhaps I should have made something up about slipping in the freshly leaked water and busting my ass. My loyal readers (mom) would really like that.

I think mostly I just wanted to use this sentence “My laundry room was taking on water like a very slightly wounded submarine”. Other than that I really didn’t have much to go on. This became all the more prevalent as I rounded the corner through paragraph number two in the now ill faded and incomplete “Leaking Water” blog....perhaps I’ll release it as some sort of B-side on a single or something....bloggers can do that right? No? Well crap!

Drastically switching topics, as late summer turns to even later summer I am reminded of the dreaded “going back to school thing”. Back during my school days I always hated school, hated getting up early, and pretty much hated everyone AT school, but two things about “even later summer” I always enjoyed, the return of football and fresh back to school supplies. As I promised a non-sports related blog I will skip the first thing and move on to the second. I always had a plan, a well organized plan, armed to the teeth with three ring binder paper, folders, and fresh pencils. All of this fell by the wayside in little to no time, as the realities of day in day out school set in and I became lazier and lazier about my plans. But every year at this time I thought things would be different, THIS would be the year I stayed organized and got straight A’s and...what? I have to get up early AGAIN?! @#$# it I’m just gonna shove my homework in THIS folder,...that’s good enough, I’m 9, I got shit to do! These legos aren’t gonna spread themselves all over the floor of my room on their own you know? And the Princess? She’s screwed unless Mario and I come and get her and she’s always in the last Castle you look you know?

This yearly scenario has mostly eluded me in my adult life the only lingering symptom is my inability to enter and exit Office Depot/Max (I can never remember which is which, but does it really matter?) without daydreams of a well organized filing system, everything in it’s place and perfectly put away and easy to find and.....screw it, I’ll file it later....

There, not bad for blogging blind eh? As for the not too distant future you can expect another sports blog (sorry it’s Arena Bowl Preview time) and the after that the Bieber blog which I know you’ll love. After that I’m not sure where I’ll head, perhaps I’ll finally vent publicly about the locker room behavior at the gym I belong to.

For right now though, I just need to file this in the correct google docs folder and label it and.............screw it I’ll just email it to Dave to edit.
