I think your new year’s resolution should be to comment at Xpinionated every chance you get!

OR, send me money

OR, skittles, I do like me some skittles!!

I am considering stopping production on my Redskins and Hokies blog. The readership is just not there. I don’t seem to have the time to keep those up to date like I do with the Lakers and Xpinionatedl, and I’m even slipping on the Lakers website.

I had such high hopes for the Xpinionated Blog Ring. Oh well, life goes on…..

In other news, I’ve had this strange desire to go out every night even when there’s no Lakers game. I feel bad because I know Mrs. Xpinionated thinks I don’t like being at home but that’s not it. I think it’s still a hangover from my brief consulting career. At around 9:30 at night, I just have this urge to be out in the streets. Okay, I’m the black guy at the redneck sports bar but when you’re 30 miles from the city, that is being out in the streets. Hopefully, I will get this under control and only go for Lakers, Redskins, and Hokies games.

Pray for the Tsunami victims and survivors.

I am chock full of ideas. I come up with them at work but by the time I get home I lack the execution necessary to achieve the results I desire. OR, I could just be that bored at work that my mind wanders relentlessly.

Idea #1: Create a website for Magdeline de Magnum much like I did for Dango the Durango.
Why this is a bad idea? First, I would need to find some hosting with no ads and relatively cheap. Quite frankly, I feel like doing that kind of research at work. But once I get home the urge is gone.

Idea #2: Create a fantiffic photo blog.
Why this is a bad idea? TOO DAMN LAZY

Idea #3: Actively recruit more visitors to my current blog and subsequently to the website I created for Magdeline that I mentioned in Idea #1.
Personal issues with begging for visitors, personal issues with negative criticism, personal issues with vanity or should I say more vanity…..

Chaka Blond and I were at a bar having some grub. I had parked Magdeline de Magnum in a spot with an empty space next to her. IN my nervousness, I continually checked the parking lot to make sure no on ehad parked next to her. I noticed through my parking lot surveillance that people often pull into the parking lot and loiter….never really come in the bar but not quite just cutting through either. SO I POSE THIS QUESTION TO YOU FAIR READER:

How come (the best questions always start with ‘how come’) it’s okay to loiter in a bar but not okay to loiter outside the bar???

So I have to take Magdeline de Magnum back to the orphanage to get her original shoes put on. The orphanage put on these expensive though very nice chrome shoes on her that I can’t afford, at least not now. Perhaps in the future, I will be able to provide such thorough footwear for her. Sadly, I have become accustomed to the gawks received at stoplights and worry that I have become too attached to the chrome shoes….
