The 2005 Bloggies
I just wanted to apologize for taking so long to put up that last post. It's just that I was so upset about not getting nominated for a single Bloggie. It was like a slap in the face. No, actually, it was more like I'd been working and working and working on a sand castle and then some guy came along and complimented everybody else on the beach, but then when he got to mine, he kicked me in the neck. That's how devastated I was. It took me a while to recoup from the massive tissue damage to my wrists before I could try hanging myself from the ceiling of a high school gymnasium. After those nice cops finally got me off that pesky suicide watch, I went home and realized that EVERY SINGLE PILL in my house had been confiscated. Damn police. Anyway, as a last resort, I'm here again, your trained dancing monkey, as it were. I'll be here to continue amusing you with my antics for as long as I can (or at least as long as my parents keep me away from the paring knives). "Dance, monkey! Dance!"

Never heard of the bloggies...hmm

Upset? Seriously Andrew, I finally went to the bloggies page and after looking at 6 different blogs, I quit browsing the bloggie nominees, and yet I am still reading your blogs. Me the stranger from California. You've got something that brings me back even when you do say crushing comments about girls. *smiles* chin up smalls.
That's got to be one of te greatest compliments anyone has ever given me. I can only specifically remember four or five in my whole life, and I know I'll remember that one. (That's not to say that I've been showered with praise about stuff and I can only keep four or five of them straight. I didn't mean to give that impression. I just meant... well, thanks. I don't want to ramble.)
Hi. I just want to say that I like your blog too. It's the best that I've seen I think. But I have mixed feelings about your Black History Month post. "Guilty about something that we didn't do?" Well, it's true that slavery was before our time, but things are still not equal by any means and I think people should care about the underdog if there is one. The whites have more of an ability to reduce racism than the blacks do. It was the whites who persecuted the blacks, so now as whites, if we are not racists, we have to take the lead and show it every chance we get. And I don't mean the ads on TV, I mean in our personal interactions with people, with each other. This is what I believe and it's what I do. And the ads for Black History Month, though they might not do much, they certainly aren't harmful. And I like to watch documentaries on such subjects. Maybe that's why I understand the importance of showing kindness and consideration. Or maybe it's because I am kind of an underdog outcast so I am more sensitive to people's struggles.
