Just Another Empty Promise…

Post by Joe

I know I made a promise to write some new posts a couple weeks ago.  A promise that I sort of maybe flaked on, considering I haven’t posted a single thing since. 

I also dropped a few hints about the details of my trip to Natural Bridge, VA.  A tale that involves dinosaurs, patriotic head-wear, and beef jerky.  A tale that I promised to tell very soon.  And that is one promise I intend to keep…

But not right now.

No.  For a variety of reasons, I will continue to delay that post.  But I have something exactly as good to share: Excuses!  The reasons I’m not giving you the post I promised.  But at least they are good reasons. 

First, the reason I haven’t been posting:  Last week I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.  If you haven’t seen it, it is simultaniously mind-blowlingly racist and brain rottingly stupid, and in it’s wake, I felt I had to immediately recuse myself from writing anything, lest it dissolve into an overly long, profanity filled cluster-fuck of “But wait, it gets even worse…” tail chasing.  (we all remember the two-parted  ”The Happening” post.  There is no need for a repeat.)  Luckily, I have been able to blow off enough steam via anti-Transformers facebook status updates, (most of which were something to the effect of “Michael Bay: I want to fight you,” that I no longer feel the need to allow this site to become a dumping ground for my angry complaints.  Especially since those complaints have already been voiced, often times said better, more publically, and endlessly repeated.  I will, however, say this and only this; Michael Bay has, in my opinion, made a movie so bad that he deserves to serve actual jail time for it.

Second, why I am not posting now:  For me to properly recount the story of my trip, there are some artifacts which I really cannot put into words.  That you really must see to fully understand.  Unfortunately, my cheap-o digital camera is currently making it’s way to the other side of the planet to have its display screen replaced.  Considering the fact that the damn thing is less than 6 months old, I’m pretty psyched about that.  So until I get it back, no post.  Also SUCK IT BEST BUY!

Third, why I’m probably not going to do it soon, either:  I don’t have much time.  I am breifly back in Baltimore, and we all know what that means.  As a result, my free time is very limited.  I have also found myself running back and forth to DC several times for concerts (instead of catching the Baltimore show) because I bought the tickets before I knew I’d be in Charm City.  Last week, for example, I saw The Handsome Furs show at Black Cat (excellent, and happy anniversary you two) and tonight I am going to 9:30 to see Jack White’s other, other band, The Dead Weather.  (I’m excited, if not entirely sure what to expect, seeing as how I haven’t yet heard the album, which doesn’t come out until tomorrow… )

At any rate, I’ll try to find my way to the keyboard through the beer fueled haze that is my life in Baltimore, and start crapping out nonsense-that-nobody-reads soon.  In the mean time…
