Exactly one year ago today, Morgan and I were bored and said, “Hey, blogging, that could be fun!” And it just so happens that I was almost run over by some douche as I walked to my garage after work. Thus, Just Like the City was born, and it’s been a hell of a ride.
I really don’t need to expand from there, cause you know the rest of the story. Just Like the City went on to become one of the most popular blogs in America, a bastion of truth and humor in these turbulent times we call the… um… have we still not come up with any name for this decade besides “the aughts?” America needed a voice for the little people, to stand up against hipster douches, killer roofing, and militant Mormans, and by God, the blog delivered! It’s been hard to update lately, what with the book deal and talk show appearances, but rest assured I have not forgotten. When I have something to bitch about, you’ll hear it hear first. Unless you hear it from me personally first. But really, is there a difference?
Okay, so maybe I haven’t set the world on fire, but it has been fun! When people ask me when I’m ever going to post again, it kinda makes me feel good. It’s almost like they are saying, “You just don’t work for me in real life. But the blog! It’s hilarious!” So, hey, at least someone’s getting something out of it, right?
I really don’t know what to say beyond things that are self serving right now. I just wanted you to know that I know it’s been one year. I just wanted you to know that I know it’s been yet another month since I updated. I just wanted you to know that I know that you don’t care. I want you to know I WANT you to know (Quiz Time: name that movie! Unless your name is Billy. Hint: you can’t like this movie AND believe in God, candlestickers).
And because you care, my most popular post so far has been the Glow in the Dark concert review, followed by my Indiana Jones review, followed by my original hipster douche screed, followed by my favorite post about how my favorite book ended up in the trash (though, not literally. I sold it for drug money).
Anyway, moving on, the reason I haven’t posted in so long is cause A) I’ve been hella busy at work, which is when I do all my blogging and B) cause I’m cooking up a pretty good post as we speak. The thing is, I accidently erased it like I was a sixty-year old woman using the interwebs for the first time. So I had to construct it from scratch, cause it was a long one. But I hope you like it. How’s that for antici…. pation? (Quiz Time: name that movie! Unless your name is Billy. Hint: fishnet stockings).
And now… cake!
