Just one more blog

Ah Dashboard… listening to you post-breakup is one of the 5 most dangerous things a person can do.  I’d love to say I’ve never done it, but…

kelseyriewer:

Which of the bold faced lies will we use

I hope that you’re happy, you really deserve it

This will be best for us both…in the end

But your taste still lingers on my lips

Like I just placed them upon yours

And I starve.

I starve for you.

But this new diet’s liquid

And dulling to the senses and it’s crude

But it will do.

So, which of the standard lines will we use?

I’ve been meaning to call you; I’ve just been so busy.

We’ll catch up soon.

Let’s make it a point to.

And your taste still lingers on my lips like I just placed them upon yours

And I starve.

I starve for you

But this new diet’s liquid

And dulling to the senses, and it’s crude.

But it will do.

But it will do.

I hope it will do.

You win this round, my friend.  My cavalier attitude allowed you to reclaim this prize.  But some day, when your renewal is due, I will strike again.  The asking price will be $30,000—due partially to spite and partially to anticipated inflation.

I purchased this domain in April of 2003. It was my personal website for years… until I accidentally let it expire one day and some squatter swooped it up. Why? I don’t know. When I called him, he insisted that it wasn’t for sale — then decided he would be willing to part with it for $3000. I countered with $20 but he laughed in my face. I hung up and vowed to track down every living member of his family and make them pay. But that was just me being dramatic.

Instead, I’ve been patiently waiting. Waiting for this day. The day it would expire for him and I could swoop in and steal it right back. AND THAT’S JUST WHAT I DID!

So I’m very pleased to report, that after a two year hiatus, tylerriewer.com will be coming back into action. And rest assured, I will never let it go again. (Unless of course you want to buy it for $3000.)

Thought of the Day

This post is inconsistent with your previous e-mail about being to busy to accomplish certain life objectives.

Unemployment, like prison, presents an opportune time to pump iron and read books.

kelseyriewer:

We walked around the garden.

“Those are peppers, and these are onions.”

“I like peppers.”

“Rub your fingers on this leaf. Can you smell that? That’s basil.”

Her eyes lit up.

“Let’s smell more things!”

So we did. And we looked. She reached her little hands up trying to reach the taller plants, and giggled over the fake owl that kept watch. She told me broccoli is her favorite, and I pointed out how some leaves looked like hearts and others like stars.

……..

“Mommy, that girl in the scarf. She’s my person. She teaches me things.”

And just like that, Natalie made my whole night.
