On the best and worst things of 2008 and 2009 and 2010

So mayhaps you've noticed that I haven't been updating this blog very often. Mayhaps you've sent me sassy little notes about it. Mayhaps you use your middle name for your first name. Mayhaps I'm not using the "mayhaps construction" correctly. Well, listen up, friendo. This is the year I'm gonna do it to it. Git "er" done. 2009 isn't going to know what hit it. I'm gonna sneak up on 2009 like a thief and then make out with it. Also, I just decided that I'm gonna start a band called Makeout Thief.




It's in this spirit of a renewed faith in blogging that I present to you my best and worst list of 2008. And I'll just get 2009 and 2010 out of the way while I'm at it. This way, I won't have to post again for two more years! Kidding! Mayhaps!

Best thing about 2008:

Corinne

She's sassy. She's sweet. She's quick on her feet. It's Corinne, and she took 2008 by storm! The general population, not to mention the liberal media, swarmed around her all year like moths to the flame, trying to embrace her radiance, only to be consumed like moths in the flame. When will the mainstream infatuation ever end? It won't! Deal with it! She's hotter than a dedicated moth-flamer!

Worst thing about 2008:

Elliott

No retrospective of 2008 would be complete without some mention of this man. Whether he was doing hardcore drugs in the church basement, defacing library books, eating pigeons, or tearing around town in his freakishly-loud jalopy with the holes in the muffler, Elliott demanded our attention in the same way that the plagues demanded Pharaoh's. Also, he made me eat pizza that he put poison on.


Best thing about 2009:

My Blog, I Think Patchouli Smells OK


My blog is going to rock your silly little world. I'm going to update it every second, and then I'm going to take a few months off and invent a time machine, and then I'm going to make a bunch of copies of myself and go back in time and post millions of blog entries until the Internet is full and they have to make another one just to hold all of my blog.

Worst thing about 2009:

Dan's blog, Tomato Slide

There's going to have to be cuts made within the blogosphere to make room for my time-jumping-clone-army blog, and unfortunately, Dan's blog will be the first to go. In its stead, I'll do a whole series of posts about how awesome Blue Oyster Cult really, truly is.


Best thing about 2010:

Snap Bracelets

They'll be back in a big way. Collect them all! I like ones with pokemon on them!



Worst thing about 2010:

Snap Bracelet Fever

It's too bad that the chemicals they use to make snap bracelets make you extremely sick.

Ted, your blog made me cry. I'll let you decide whether it was from laughing or being sad. But really I wanted to point out that your profile is completely outdated. You don't go to KU, teach writing or own a cat anymore. So in the spirit starting 2009 fresh, get with the now and quit living in the past. PS. And blog about wedding stuff!!! What are you going to wear?! What should I wear? Mayhaps I'll need to start my own blog about your wedding!!!!!!!

Corinne is ok.

In the way Old School's Frank felt about his blow up doll, that's how I feel about Corinne.

J/K. I heart you guys.
