An update rises from the ashes like a Phoenix out of Arizona!

Alright, so there I aws. I’ve been in kind of a weird mood lately, and today it finally hit me. Yesterday afternoon, it was once again brought to my attention that I should write more.

Today was the day.

Fairytale of New York by the Pogues¹ blaring, I decided to begin writing a blog entry.

Everything was going well. I had 15 minutes until this week’s episode of Fox’s hit series, 24, was to start, and my head was full of ideas. An excellent introduction was started, managing to make references to both metaphysics and Buddhist monks (I am not making this up). I was really feeling that this was going to be THE post to get my 3 readers back.

Then it happened;

A life lesson was to be learned;

Darkness;

Silence;

Confusion.

“What could have possibly happened?” you must be asking yourself (I am not going to kid myself and pluralize that). I may be just a simple college boy, but the mathematics of what occurred were more than clear to me:

Computer + Television + Heater = Blown Fuse

That’s right, my fine feathered friends; right in the middle of the literary cascade which was in the process of flowing forth from the deepest recesses of my mind like so many drums of Exxon oil flowing forth onto the greedy, greedy waterfowl of the Alaskan coastline (come on, people…), all power in my room flew the coop, leaving me in complete and utter darkness.

I’m not sure where exactly I was going with that, or if it worked nearly as well as I hoped it would, but I feel I need to apologize for the slapdash usage of all those bird references. I normally try to steer clear of alluding to our avian adversaries*, but I felt they really held that entire paragraph together there.

Anyways, getting back to urgent matters, suffice it to say that the planned update went bust, and instead, gave birth to what you are reading just now. To be completely honest, my original plan was to just kind of come up with a bunch of random witty comments, inspired by the comedic work of Mitch Hedberg, which I was listening to just this morning. I don’t think it would have really been very good over-all, and feel that this explanation is probably better than anything I would have been able to come up with, so thank you very much, inventor of the fuse box (I actually tried looking up who it was to insert a hilarious yet informative link, but failed).

I will likely work on further updates as the fancy hits me.

Until then,

A witty conclusion.

1 It has been brought to my attention that all the cool bloggers like to tell people what songs they are listening to while updating. That's the only time I will ever stoop to that, so enjoy it, turkeys.
