One of my favorite characters on one of my favorite comedy sketch shows--Doug, on The State--used the tag line "I'm Doug...and I'm outtaaa heeeerrreeee!" when he wasn't sure what else to say. Since I really enjoy humor that beats a dead horse, I laughed and laughed each time Doug goofed on his Dad or tried to outsmart his teacher.
Today, I sort of feel like Doug.
It's a bit pretentious to say it, but I'm starting to feel something less than relevant. (And that's pretentious, of course, because the response to the question that feeling raises is: "As if.") Aside from my rants on Oprah, what I write here isn't important, or life-altering. But I do enjoy telling stories, writing about insights and describing how movies and current events affect my perspective.
But recently, I just got nothing to say.
So, I'm outtaaa heeeerrreeee for a while. It might be a couple of weeks, I don't know, but I need a respite. I'm certain I'll be back, though, when I have something to say.
Maybe you're more like Ah-nold..."I'll be baaack!"
ReplyDeleteAnd- I think you're relevant.
TFG, if it gets you back any sooner, your blog is so fun to read that...
ReplyDeleteI wanna dip my balls in it!
Looking forward to you coming back after the recharge.
Things are getting bad in blogsville - at least the ones I enjoy. Sad. :-( Pretty soon, I'm going to have to read the instructions on hanging a roll of toilet paper again... I'm running out of GOOD reading. Take care, FG and come back soon, kay?
ReplyDeleteEverybody goes to the mat eventually. I've gone a couple of times myself. It's necessary.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the break. It's well deserved.
Capcitykitty: Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteIan: That made me laugh for the longest time! Thanks.
ETW and Bill: Look out for lots of new comments from me on your blogs. And thanks.
FG: How can you be less then relevant when your blogging about recent movies. LOL
ReplyDeleteCome back soon.
Don't forget to grow a "bloggin' sabbatical" beard. And don't shower either. After a month or so you'll have plenty to blog about!
ReplyDelete:D
Yeah, you have to grow a beard with a sabbatical. Them's the rules.
ReplyDeleteHey Jackie and Ian: It's already two days in, guys! (The beard and the non-shower...)
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong that a good hot dog won't cure. Call me and it'll be my treat.
ReplyDeleteTake a shower first. No, really. You don't have to shave, but take a shower.
Now we're talkin'! :)
