it was an ordinary day like any other....

something terrible happened. i became boring. i don't know how it happened or why, but there i was midsentence one sunday morning when it suddenly hit me like a jackhammer. i was talking about the weather. as if that weren't enough, my previous topic was the price of gas. god knows what i'd come up with next - surging food prices? the spf level in my sunscreen? your grandma's hip replacement? i had to be stopped. without so much as a preview, with nothing to recommend it but a little heartbreak and the usual insanity, my life had turned into a horror show, and i was the zombie. was i just another mindless drone on the job, that dull ache of defeat settling over me like gravy, with nothing to look forward to but a long line of traffic every morning? i picked up the local paper for moral support. at least that shit's Supposed to be boring. (it didn't help.) finally i decided there was only one thing to do. i'd start a blog.
