I’ve noticed that I’ve apologized a number of times on my blog for failing to post more often. Sometimes a month goes by without me ever logging onto my site. I do feel bad because I wish I spent more time and energy writing and posting, but unfortunately it’s normally low on my priority list. I also know that my infrequent updates may cause some people to lose interest and stopping checking my blog. I hope that’s not the case, but I guess that’s just the world we live in.
Rather than apologize again, I want to defend my infrequent posting by saying, at least I don’t twitter or post insignificant details of my life. I could sit down for two minutes daily and write a bunch of inconsequential drivel that nobody cares about, but I’d rather remain silent than to bore you with the tedious details of my everyday. For instance, I could write that I got a gallon of milk for $1.59 at the grocery store the other day. Yeah, I know, that’s pretty cheep. But here’s why I don’t write things like that: unless you live in the Lansing area and want to know what grocery store to go to, this information is useless to you (or unless you’re my father-in-law who is a dairy farmer that cares very much about the price of milk). Our world is increasingly saturated with nauseating amounts of frivolous information and I don’t want to contribute the self-indulgent culture of texting, tweeting, and facebooking. Ok, maybe this post is a little self-indulgent, but don’t worry, it will probably be the only one this week.

No sweat, buddy. I've got you plugged into my RSS feed reader, so I never miss a post or unnecessarily check the blog. Keep up the anti-tweeting.
Peach,
What the heck are you talking about? An RSS feed reader? You're speaking a foreign language. That's not 8-track lingo. Come-on, help a fella out.
Tristan,
The day I say that I've tweeted is the day I cut off my n*ts. Good gravy, just thinking about it makes me want to go buy some tools....
Well, maybe I'm insecure in my manhood (to which I say, I'd rather be insecure than wear a pink dress for Pete's sake).
I didn't know you guys had a blog -I just found it through Jan Adkins blog. I'll enjoy checking it out from time to time.
By the way - I just bought milk for $1.49. So there.
