My two favorite blogs are now 1. completely dead and 2. rarely updated. Bleh. Seems I am posting less these days as well. It used to be I would get home from work, do homework, socialize if the day called for it and then sit down and write. Now, the only thing on my plate is work. Being as I took the semester off, I seem to also be writing less for kicks. (Yes, blogging IS a kick, duh.)
The good thing is, I am DOING more. My current obsession is spending an hour and the Y a few time a week and flexing these huge guns in front of the mirrors they seem to feel the need to place EVERYWHERE. Honestly, my favorite part about working out is setting my iPod on random and hoping an excellent play list is formed by the gods of running.
Also, finding a house. Not necessarily for buying, If it has a yard and a washing machine, I will rent whatever. Funny story…I went to my banks website, clicked on the link for pre-approved home loans and filled in the blanks. I received a splendid message about how they would be in touch with me…
…two days later.
I get a call on the phone…from an old friend…who works for this major national bank and was randomly assigned to ME. When I say old friend, I mean someone who I knew (cheered for the boy when he played basketball) and no longer know, though is still in the same social circle of people I do know and there is no way I am going to call back and say, “Hey! Yes…I was looking to buy a house. Can you finance me for the cheapest foreclosure you can find!?” Why I have pride about this matter, I do not know. Also, he may not have recognized my name when he picked up my file off the top of the pile, it has been awhile…except my name is fairly unique. I could drag out the old yearbook and post a picture of him, tell him he’ famous and maybe he’d cut me a deal. Y’know…being on The Pilver and all, that can really boost your career.
Finally ladies and gentelmen: tomorrow U2’s new CD will be on the shelves. They are on Letterman every night this week. I am excited. Very rarely do I get jazzed about new releases in music. When I do, I feel the need to sit in solitude and listen to them while analyzing their entirety. And before all you hipsters spout off about how you lost interest in U2 when Bono looked in the mirror and saw Jesus, remember, they made some outstanding music.
The Pilver 
Completely forgot that U2 was gonna be on Letterman THIS WEEK. I was watching them as I was reading this!
As for blogs, totally know how you feel. You, DJ D, DC, Bill, Josh, etc either rarely update or not at all. But ME, who updates every weekday…no love.
I just watched it as well…good song…much better than the ‘Boots’ one on the radio right now.
Where is josh?… I miss him. Also, doho…
I’m also referring to In 10 Words. Beaming For Bunnies, however, sadly follows everyone’s sporadic update schedule. 😦
They “made” some outstanding music?! How about they MAKE some outstanding music.
I too am blog-neglectful….you are not alone. Perhaps this blogging bandwagon has officially tipped over?
US rocks–I’m in line to get one tomorrow as well. I’m old school–I’m going to a store and buying the actual CD.
As for blogging–I’ve been the same was as the ones you mentioned. I’ve been in a malaise (sp?) since the election. But I’m trying to break out of it. Good to read yours again–hope all is well.

Funny–that is supposed to say “U2” not “US”–although US rocks as well–whatever the blank that means.
Bought the CD today…I love exactly one song. *sigh*
U2 still has my respect. They fell out of my favor a few years ago but they’ve redeemed themselves lately.
Working on keeping my blog updated more. Hopefully tonight. It’s a neglected pet, sadly, that waits anxiously by the door, tail wagging, with the occasional visitor coming by to feed it and check up. I gotta come home and be a more responsible parent.
I feel you. I am the ghost of blogging past too. I’m getting back to it though!
Freaky, but within a day of posting this, Bill, DJ D, and Annette all updated (not to mention Dan posting a few days ago)! The Power of The Pilver™ prevails!
I blame facebook.
Am I the only one who is curious who your favorite blogs were?
Dead- I think most people who read here know that the rarely updated one is XE…and the other is doho….who has been MIA for months.
Amy- facebook IS evil. I’m gonna go check it now 😉
I have a confession…okay, several…sometimes I go to doho’s old blogspot blog (is that redundant?) and pretend he’s still with us. It’s all I have left…
I’ve cyberstalked him. I was actually able to find out his real first name and I’m pretty sure I know what state he lives in. But what good does that do?
I sent him an email at Christmas. He did not respond.
He’s like the dad who went out for cigarettes and never came home…
A million pardons, Sister. I’ve not been by in a long time. I’ve been busy being unemployed. Glad to hear you’ve got a schedule that makes you far less blog dependent.
Souns like real sure footed clarity is knocking on your door. I thik I envy you.
Hope you’re well. Come by and say hi sometimes. I’m still strange.

Amy- he’s quickly becoming the next Nathan Bitner 🙂
Maybe he IS Bitner. Maybe he’s Jesus Christ. I don’t know.
I am not a patient person. At least we have ways to verify that Matt exists, I’m not so annoyed with that. THAT…I totally understand. Life gets in Matt’s way, just like it does for the rest of us. Doho, I think, is just deliberate.
Deliberate Doho. I want to make a puppet now.
I used to think that duh was spelled “d-a”
That was a long time ago. Now I know that it is spelled d-u-h.
Also, I’m eagerly awaiting your blog about Ella’s!
Oh, me too! The Ella’s thing. Not the duh. I used to have a friend who thought “dumb” was spelled “domb” though. She was kinda dumb.
