Well there you have it. Redstate has officially let me in. Like me, you're probably wondering how this could have happened. Has Redstate jumped the shark?
I've been blogging for over 4 years now, I think - it's hard to tell time online. Before that I was a frequent message board pontificator and, before that, I would just harass people at parties with off the cuff essay recitations. You haven't lived until tried to engage someone on Burke's 1777 Address to the British Colonists in North America during a drinking contest at the barracks.
Introducing The Blogtastic Top Five All Time List Of Absenteupidity
Number Five:
Upon returning to the barracks from my late night second job distributing pizza coupons, I reached into my pocket to search for my keys to unlock the door. My left hand was full with my keys, so I searched the right pocket first. They weren't there, so I took the keys from my left hand and put them into my right hand, that I might search my left pocket. No luck.
Frustrated, I put the keys into my mouth so I could look in both pockets at the same time. I kept patting myself down and getting more frustrated.
But they were in my mouth, you see.
... Good times.
It's been a rocky road for me online. When I started out, I was a wanna-be writer, opining in juvenile discussion forums about the senselessness of human existence and exchanging amateur poetry; experiencing and sharing paeans to artistic genius and analysis such as "I like the way every other line rhymes for the most part."
