I was really excited about the post that I had scheduled for
tomorrow. After deciding that my musings had recently taken a turn for
the melancholy, I decided to go back to my more humorous
self-deprecating roots. To do this, I prepared a funny little window
into my psyche as I analyzed what I am like behind the wheel. I delved
into my fondness for Car-eoke (it's exactly what it sounds like), and my
neurotic over-compensation when driving past my home-town haunts.
If
you don't understand what I'm getting at, that's alright. Just
describing it now doesn't make any sense to me either, and I spent three
days writing about it. All that's really important is that it was
funny, I was proud of it, and I was excited to share it with the world (or
the portion of it that actually reads my rants).
In fact, I almost decided to forgo my resolution to post a new entry every Monday, and let it slip early. But,I thought, what's the point in making resolutions if you aren't going to stick to them? That's when I decided to indulge my desire a little, by only
reviewing it. I opened up the draft to edit it a final time, and in a
series of three quick clicks accidentally deleted the entire thing.
My
heart sank to the floor. Even still it hasn't entirely made it's way
back up. A quick Google search has me believing that it may actually be
trapped between my liver and spleen.
So, while I wait
for my heart to unstick itself, I'm sitting on the couch kicking myself
for being so impatient. Immediately after my epic blogging blooper I
thought I'd try and rewrite it, but I'm clearly not in the mood. All I
can think is how much I liked the other one, and how nothing will ever live
up to it.
I'm sure that's an exaggeration, and I'll probably sit down
and reattempt it some time soon. However, it's more than likely that
this week's post is going to be another melancholy essay about the world
because I've been sitting on a few of them. That being
said, when it comes out tomorrow, please keep in mind that sometimes
I'm light-hearted and funny. If you do that it will really help me out,
because that's what I wanted this week's take-home message to be.
