It’s Almost Next Month!
Monday, July 31st, 2006 at 1:25 pmHow many of you bloggers out there get excited to post at the beginning of the month? It’s weird, I know, but I can’t wait to post something tomorrow so I get another month listed on my archive list. It’s like having Presents Day every 30 or so days!
However, it’s not enough to just post "Hey! It’s a new month!" just to get an expanded archive list. There has to be a great idea. Something with meaning behind your [Month] 1, 20[xx] post. A post that is thought-provoking, laugh-inducing or just plain well-written. It’s gotta have zing. It’s gotta pop like a Shasta soda.There are several ideas floating around, but none that can be churned out between now and tomorrow with my schedule. In fact, I’m writing this during my lunch break instead of going out to get something to eat to fuel my "imagination tanks" as Patrick said in the "Idiot Box" epsiode of Spongebob Squarepants. Guess what? It’s hard to write about nothing and make it funny. Seinfeld made it look easy. Bastards.
File this post under "Sound And Fury".

Well, Howard, if today’s post accomplishes nothing else, you may now revel in the fact that it has implanted that infernal Shasta song in my head — likely to remain there til sweet slumber mercifully wrests it from my tortured consciousness later tonight.

I’m listening to my favorite Enigma song right now so I’m skipping the Shasta ad for now.
But I just have to say, I LOVE being born on the 1st of a month for some of the same reasons you listed here (Minus the renewal of archives and whatnot.)It just seems like a new mini-start, especially when things are going crappy.

People with blood sugar issues should not skip lunch. I’m just sayin’. Oh and Seinfeld wasn’t funny.
(P.S. I probably need some blog help soon.)

Lorne: there is a capital letter. and i’m glad i could help you remember one of the catchiest jingles evah.
Leslie: Give into the Shasta.
Dan: …in YOUR opinion. and blog help is here when available. :)

Very true. Yay for the help ’cause I need some new templates and to learn how to link to your fabulous blog. ;)zg

Right on! The first comment of August … I rock socks, baby.

The Shasta ad took me waaaaay back and provided me with the first unscheduled chortle of the day … and the first of the month.
Yay, Howard!

hmm. ‘fraid I didn’t meet your 1st-o-the-month standards of excellence with today’s post. perhaps the 2nd of every month will be my Presents Day.

Ahh, because of Blogger’s mess-up, I still haven’t received notification that you guys left notes.
Dan: You are going to have to learn a little HTML now. :)
HDW: You do rock!
Cliz: Yeah, I was surprised to find them. It brought back a LOT of memories. Notice I put up the Shasta commercial with the half-naked guys. Tee-hee.
ikicsi Actually, I thought your post was quite viseral. It made me shudder. :)
As for my first post of the month. I’ll have to write it up tonight. It’s been a long, bad day as Kath can tell you.

I’ll trade you dinners for lessons!

I’ll start some research. Some of this stuff can be taught via the electronic mail. :)

May Kim Gordon keep you and bless you!
