And you and I

In case anyone still reads this, I am, for the time being, going to sign off officially. I have a girlfriend. I know you all know this, but I like rubbing it in your faces as much as possible. This fairly recent fact is to blame for my past\future lack of blogging activity. The purpose of a blog is to update interested parties on every mundane detail of my hum-drum life. Well, there is only one detail now, and, as I said before, it's not exactly something that I care to discuss in a public forum. Plus, I'm sure you would quickly tire of hearing about her. So, I am signing off officially, though I will still allow access to viewing\commentary (which I will never check). So, enjoy this, my little chrysalis of perfection.

Sayonara, as they say.

Weak. I'm married, and I still keep a blog.

Wow you're pathetic.

HELLO, folks! Nick, out of kindness, is OFFERING not to post anything since he has a girlfriend. I met him when he didn't have a girlfriend, and he was even then one of the mushiest, most romantic guys I've ever met. Nick, I'd like to thank you for excusing yourself from blogging--there's only so much the viewing public can take before we lose our collective lunch. I can only hope you'll make good on that promise to stop blogging, and keep the odes to love between you and that lucky lady. And once again, congratulations!

There goes the neighborhood.

Women have ruined more men's lives than Rosie O'Donnel has eaten Twinkies. It all starts with the bashful fluttering of eyelashes. The next thing you know, you are shaving daily, brushing your teeth weekly, and changing your underwear molnthly.

But I knew you when you were a guy...

Best of luck and love always,

Dad

HA! Your Dad is funny.

Dude.

Gay.

Andrew T. Arndt"

Wait a minute. Hold the phone here. I checked out this Andrew Arndt's blog and he hasn't blogged since Dec and those are pretty sad posts. The last post wasn't even a full sentence.

You're preaching to the choir, honey.

Hey, I never said I still post. But it is true that my blog is still in existence.

Also, here is my last post:
I still have two readers.
If that's not a "full sentence," then I don't know what is.

Oh, Ange, could you not have waited until you met her in person to introduce April to your cruel sarcasm?
At this rate, you're going to drive her away and force all of us to, once again, listen to Nick's bitching theories on love and its falsity.

If Nick's gonor-- er, condition-- hasn't driven April away, I think we're safe.

You can't drive me away that easily. Bring on the sarcasm. Nick has already told me all about this Andrew Arndt character. Arndt you glad I'm somewhat prepared?

HA! Even April makes Arndt jokes!

You can't drive me away that easily.

Were you referring to Nick's condition or the sarcasm?

Trust me, April; when one of those bad boys pops, you will not want to be within the vicinity.

Clifford Leroy! It's good to see your name back in the blogger world!
