Woo-Hoo! I Finished (Sort of)
So, once upon a time, I actually did finish something (despite the title of this here blog). It was my Master's Thesis, a novella entitled Swim. And over the 2 1/2 years since then, I've attempted to rewrite it into a novel several times. Now, with a little help from my trusty writing group (Harwell, The Tongs, and Pyles of Various Things) I think I'm on my way. And to keep myself moving forward instead of constantly looking backward and rewriting / editing, I'm going to post every chapter, as it's finished, over on The Works (see links list). Which means you can read the next NY Times bestseller - as it's being written! (OK, I'd settle for getting it published. Worry about the Times later). So go there now! Read! I'll wait....
Back? Good. Did you like it? Did you leave a comment? Much appreciated if you did. (even if you said it sucked). In other news... now that I've completed the Top Five Stupidest Students list, there'll be some non-Top Five posts. And I'm thinking of doing another one, too. Torn between Top Five Most Annoying Roommates and Top Five Dumbest Things I've Ever Done With Women. On a related note - over on Stinky and the Bean (see links), I've begun a Top Five Dumbest Things I've Done Since Meeting The Wife (and she still hasn't left me) list, in honor of our upcoming 2nd wedding anniversary. Good reading, funny shit, though slightly less sophomoric and dirty than my usual (S&B is my family friendly blog). Check it out.
And any reader suggestions / contributions on Top Fives are more than welcome.
Later on... posts on God-related billboards, the Lost entertainment strategy, and possibly something making fun of Schlotman.
OUT

You've really turned into Blogzilla all of the sudden, haven't you?
I'll try to check out your other stuff. And then let you know how much it sucks.
You ever notice how you never respond to comments left by others? It's like YOU want us to comment for YOU and yet YOU're too good to comment for us.
Jackass.
aren't my original posts technically my comments?
so, now I'm commenting on your commenting on my commenting
You need to start thinking of a blog as a conversation and less a "let's salute Chris and his ability to type" kind of deal.
It doesn't end when you press send, my friend. (And yes, I am a poet and you better damn well believe I know it.)
All I'm saying is, if I ask you a question in my comment I expect it answered and answered immediately. What do you think I'm doing all day? I'm waiting for you to answer my question, that's what. I could get so much more done if I weren't waiting for you to answer my questions.
Here, I'll do a little test. Chris, did you hear Ozzie Guillen called Jay Mariotti a fag?
Ah I see (said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw..)
yes, I did hear Ozzie say that. And I also saw his "apology", coplete with air quotes. And while I may not disagree with his assessment of Mariotti (the Piece of S**t part), I don't think it's ever appropriate to call someone a fag.
now, get back to admiring my ability and stop bugging me with your questions Harwell, you little butt pirate :)
Three hours. It took you three hours to answer that question.
Do you think Jay Mariotti has to wait three hours to get his questions answered???
NO.
You've got to do better. Can you?
Yes, I can.
And I made it in under three hours this time :)
