If I get one comment more than any other about my blog, it’s that I’m a petty little man who compensates for his self esteem issues with narcissism and general nastiness. If I get another comment more than that one, it’s that I don’t write often enough. And for that, I apologize.

Different writers tend to have different styles and different temprements. I happen to be what is called a lazy writer. By nature, I wait until the absolute last second to do anything. As such, the only times I ever write for this site are when I feel I absolutely have to, just to let people outside of my apartment know that I’m still alive in here. Well, I am. And could somebody go pick up some food for me? I’m very hungry. For pancakes.

So, since I am a lazy writer, the thing that both plagues me as a writer and sustains me at the same time is the accursed deadline. I don’t have one of those here, so it is my duty to install one, and then enforce it. So that’s what I’m doing right now, by doing the following.

I declare a Blog-athon.

Today is the first day of my Blog-athon. It will continue every day from now until I get tired of doing it. I will write something every single day, and we’ll see how far I make it. So this is my promise to you, faithful reader. I am dedicating myself to my craft, pushing myself as a writer and delving deep within myself to discover a deeper resolve than I have displayed before. I swear, on my honor, that I will be the best blogger that I can be, providing all who venture within these sacred pages the entertainment that they deserve. This is my moment. This is my chance to shine. World, I am going to be the best damn blogger you’ve ever seen.

Starting tomorrow.
