Always Stay The Same

Okay, first let’s get the picture out of the way, and then to the explaining. Joel B sent this gem to me the other night…

And here’s the back of the picture…

This is my school picture from what I’m guessing is my sophomore year. The “Jenni” in question was my soon-to-be girlfriend, now better known as Jennifer and Joel B’s better half, which explains how he was able to obtain this rather embarrassing artifact of early JG game. Anything I could really say at this point couldn’t be better what Joel B and Jeff D had to say upon Joel e-mailing this to us the other night.

First, Joel B’s description…

I stumbled upon a rare treasure: please check the attached pic of the pimpiest pimp of them all. Where does one begin? G-Ball Curl, gold chain, hip-hop cardigan, I’m-gonna-smack-you-biatch smirk, neon laser background - who knows?

And if that doesn’t cut it, what about the text book school picture blurb? How awesome you are, how funny you are, don’t ever change - classic.

I hope everyone studies these files carefully and respects the literary genius that is in our midst. A Pulitzer, I know it . . .

And Jeff D’s response…

My favorite part is “always stay the same”. Why did we (do people still?) think that is a good thing to write??? Because everybody always wrote that. Or “don’t change”. Yes, act exactly like a high-school senior for the rest of your life. Good advice. And by the way keep the same hair cut and same sweater because it will always be cool. Don’t let people try to tell you that you’re getting to old for that or it’s not in style anymore. You stay the same!

To my credit, I think we’re all overlooking my clever use of underlining in “I hope to get to know you much better.” I mean, how could a lady not see that line and think that I have anything other than romantic intentions for her? That’s game, people! Game!

Okay, I’ll leave you to do your worst now, gentle blizzog reader. If you need me, I’ll be in my attic looking for that sweater and gold chain so I can wear them to work tomorrow. You know, always staying that same and what not. Enjoy.

Don’t Call it a Comeback

Welcome to the new and improved blizzog. I’m back, baby.

I know we have a lot of making up to do. I haven’t posted a lot over the last year for a variety of reasons: some physical, some mental, and some others. We could get into it, but it would be boring, and I have a lot more interesting things to say these days.

I have spent my spare moments in the past month porting my blog content over from the old and busted .Text software to the new hotness that is Wordpress. It should now be easier for me in many ways to give you the blizzog goodness that you crave… at least you used to crave.

For those of you that speak geek, you’ll be interested to know that with this move to Wordpress I have abandoned my beloved .Net/Sql Server platform for an open source LAMP stack. Big ups to my man Jeff Turner of JT.net fame for not only playing the Emperor to my Anakin in turning me to the dark side of Linux hosting, but giving the blizzog a place to stay on his very own Ubuntu server. Much love to JT.

For those of you that could give a crap about geek speak, just know that I’m reinvigorated and hope to get back to posting the pointless babble that you’ve come to expect from the blizzog. Don’t mind the new theme. It’s a freeware design called Cutline that I downloaded from the talented Chris Pearson. And while I dig the simplicity, it’s a bit bland for my taste and I’ll be designing my own in due time. I did put the microphone image there since I consider the blizzog my chance to rock the mic right and say what I think on these here interwebs.

Anyway, I missed you all and I know from talking to many of you that you missed me too. Hopefully we can start having a little fun again on these here pages like we used to.

Talk to you soon.
