After several letters, a handful of emails, and more than a dozen tweets I am starting to realize that it has been far too long since our last blog entry. Looking back I am trying to peg a reason why I have not been writing as frequently....?
is it that my Beard and I are out of ideas? no. my brain may forget ideas but they still get caught in the Beard and only wait the appropriate time to be retrieved
am I that busy? a little bit maybe but not so much that I should be denying our fans
is it the child that is sucking my creative life force? also a possibility for the average man but my seed is strong and only makes the Beard and I stronger
after soul searching for what feels like a month (actually only the ride home from work) I think that it has to be that the Beard and I have become more like one unit instead of two separate entities. The months that we have spent together have melded us like a Transformers superhero. I will from this point forward consider us as one. Sidenote ... in respect I will still capitalize Beard and refer him to as a separate entity when the opinion stated is clearly with Beard influence.
In addition, as a mental exercise to get the juices flowing, I will make social commentary on a few random recent events.
Oscar Pistorius - poor little tink tink gonna be locked up in the big ole clink clink. You were a handicapped athlete that had the privilege of competing in the Olympics, dating a model, and not getting killed in a country that hates the rich and you still found a way to mess it up. Good luck sharpening your legs in jail. If you don't get the tink tink reference look up Katt Williams tink tink.
Lance Armstrong - your a bum. a lying, cheating bum. bracelet should read IWISHMYCHARACTERWASASSTRONGASTHESEDRUGS and all proceeds should go to people that follow you around taunting you all the time like the Jackass guy in Happy Gilmore.
Sinkhole Guy - another reason why we have to keep both eyes on the Chinese. dirty tunnel digging communists. (We apologize to the Chinese if the culprit was really Freddy Krueger and the guy just couldn't stay awake)
Voting Rights Act Debate - this is ridiculous. you want to take away the provision in the law that says to historically racist states that they have to check before being racist? come on man.
Duke Basketball - you are terrible. here's to out in the round of 64 ya bastards!
Nursing home Nurse - you let a woman die in front of you without administering CPR? Even if your boss was standing directly next to you saying "our contract says that we aren't responsible to do that, and you could get fired" you still should have tried to save that woman. In Germany you would be held partially responsible for her death for that same gross negligence (last time I use German as an example of what is right)
