I’m sure you’re all wondering what could have possibly possessed me to: write an entry like the one below; post it; not update for several weeks ensuring anyone who stumbled upon this journal fled like advertising dollars away from my generation.
Couple things there: yes, I feel old. Though it’s for silly reasons that at this point mostly amuse me; I’m sure in a few years I will be reciting them ad nauseum in a white room equipped with a solitary window through which men of exhaustive knowledge and impeccable dress will study me. Finally, no, I don’t really think anyone actually wonders about my posting strategy, it was merely a clever ruse employing a classic literary device. I had to pretend that you do actually wonder about these things.
If you work it through in your head you’ll realize that my doing so doesn’t say much about either of us.
That’s me and you. You and me.
So happy.
Together.
If I can change… and you can change… we can all… together… change.
…and start having long discussions regarding my posting strategy. That’s the goal.
Anyway, here is the thing: I’m putting my services out there. I will be providing you with something so trivial, so unequivocally inconsequential, so devoid of any actual point of reference that I’m sure you will do everything in your power to allow me to place this metaphorical crown upon your figurative head. I will tell you something about yourself. Something terribly clever. I just need one thing in return, and I will need it up front thank you very much.
How far, exactly, and possibly why, did you get into the entry below.
