I'm gonna do it again

I've had a shitty week, so I shouldn't have been surprised that I had 3/4 of this post written and when I opened People of Walmart, because one of those fuckers stole my debit card number, Firefox crashed and lost the entire post. It should have autosaved, yes, but that's how my fucking week has gone. And I'm not going to get into that because it's too late now and Firefox is still running about as slow as a Commodore 128, which means anything I type is showing up after about a 4-second delay. This is exactly the kind of week I've had. If I started whining writing about it, I'd be here until noon.

So fuck it. You won't be reading about the meter-reader with the big beehive hairdo or the People of Walmart or the cheese I made today or the play I was in or the first black Playboy bunny (at least not tonight) or any of the other reasons why I've been such a lazy blogger this summer.

I will say that I'm going to do one more month of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Post Month), which is a commitment to post every day in August. When I did the first one last November (go ahead and skip back there and read. I'll wait) I decided I could probably do this every third month, or four times in a year. This is the fourth, but not necessarily the last. It surprises me, but a lot of readers seem to like it.

While NaBloPoMo does force me to post regularly, I always end up writing too late at night … like now, when it’s 4:00 am. On the other hand, I tend to let words spin around in my head all day and then choose to sleep instead of writing them if I don’t have a commitment to meet. So in an effort to actually write and post, here I go again.

On the list for this month are stories about the bike trail (which has gotten crazier this summer), more Melvin stories (now that he’s out of jail and the restraining order has been lifted), adventure tales from the city, 50 Shades of Grey, and …. oh god, I hate to put this in writing ….. dating. Which I don’t ever do for many good reasons. But which I might do, mostly to shut people up so I can write about it here. I’m still too chicken to go forward working out the process I might use for doing this dating thing. If I do it.

Oh, and I’ll be writing about vaginas, of course. A few weeks ago a new reader expressed disappointment because she had to go back to May to find a reference to a vagina, and she’d been promised lots of vagina. Not to make the vagina synonymous with the cowbell, but expect more vagina. (I also had to promise a couple of people I’d write more about penises. It’s odd that the only people who think I write too much about vaginas, and not enough about penises, are men. I mean, think about that. Seriously, I'm not sure I even remember what a penis looks like ... Hmmmm. I don't imagine that's the sort of thing I'd want to put in a dating site profile, huh?)

Well, fuck it. I'm having serious issues with Firefox tonight this morning. It's time for bed. See you tomorrow. And the next day....and the next....  and the next ....

Is there anything you'd like to see me write about this month? Put it in the comments section and I'll try to fulfill your heart's desire.
