A true brain blurp
Ever think you’ve got the perfect subject for an essay or blog post, then when you actually get down to writing the thing, it comes out all wrong? That just happened to me tonight.
I was going to make some funny observations on how models are the best salespeople because they make even the boring clothes from Land’s End and Eddie Bauer look good (especially the women… the dresses they sell at those places look like potato sacks). But the more I tried to write, the more the blog entry sounded a) more like a true gripe than a humor essay, and b) made me sound like a nerdier version of Mr. Blackwell.
I guess that’s the reason why I started that blog; to have a place where I can work out the “clever” ideas that pop into my head and see if they’ll actually work on paper. In this case, I was able to see my folly before hitting the “Publish” button. But I still think there’s something there, humor-wise (hopefully in a way where I can incorporate the name “Bea Arthur” somewhere in the essay). Maybe you fine folks can help me find the funny in this one; it’s still on the site as a draft if I ever want to go back to it.
P.S. Like the new favicon? I added it on Friday night. It took me a couple of hours to get that bugger done and uploaded, but now it’s there for all to enjoy. Man oh man, I need to go out more…
