The problem with updating

Hehehe… I was harassed briefly by Llew yesterday for not having updated recently. I am failing– what am I failing at? Failing at making even vain attempts to amuse others let alone myself. I continue to think that the only value of my blog is posting photos and creating designs. I enjoy that but then I lose motivation when I have free time and don’t have the energy for it. Like I was all ready to post some photos and update last night post-harassment and even then I got side-tracked and never got around to posting.

I look back at a year ago and my blog was entertaining to me back then. I was always taking pictures and posting pictures and even inane stories or ranting to accompany the pictures. I think life seemed more interesting then, too. Alas, I don’t even have those archives from last year online like I should– it’s just one more thing on my “to-do” list that only changes by growing longer.

I was amused at some junk e-mail that came last night to the company e-mail address. Heaven knows that we recieve other e-mails promoting products that will help you lose weight or enhance your bodies in other more explicit ways that I will not mention, but this was a first:

Kiss Your Thin Ordinary
Lip’s Goodbye!

NEW super-hydrating lip treatment…

Ehehehe… woohoo! Larger, plumper & more desirable lips! I’m laughing just trying to imagine people with lips twice their normal size, as the ad claims the product “permanently doubles your lip size and shape”. I guess I’m just imagining myself after a visit to the dentist where my face is numb and my lips huge, where drinking from a cup is a challenge… I mean c’mon, who WOULDN’T be attracted to such huge lips?

  1. hey, buddy. who am i to give advice on this topic, but… here are some timeless and repeatable topics for posts. stupid drivers. cool movies. stories from mission, high school, etc. pamela anderson. stupid drivers. and stupid people at the table next to yours at chili’s, in the line in front of you at the bank, anywhere, really. we all want to hear more about your encounters avec les peoples stupides (for mar). that way, we all feel like we’re ganging up on them and actually making a difference. however, if there were no more stupid people, life would get boring. easy, but boring…. (see, there’s a post for tomorrow…!)

  2. ha ha. good points josh. All I can say is, thank heaven for such products as the “lip plumper.” Now there’s a product that shows us how important science is. I mean, did people in the middle ages go around punching each other so they had big lips? Ohhh, the horror of a world without braces, Botox, Collagen, silicone and lyposuction. What an ugly ugly ugly world. I shiver with horror at the unbridled naturality of it all. (sarcasm, hello . . . Actually, I’m just another dirty hippie wrapped in hemp, if the truth be known. No more deodorant or showers for me. I’m going au naturale.)

  3. are we going to have samgyupsal party in this sat.?

  4. Nice, I’ll have to keep in mind to write down stupid people experiences, though that may not help the motivation, hehe. Usually stupid people provide ample reason to rant on a web log 😉

    Travis, I’m thinking that I should bust out photoshop on someone’s lips to demonstrate the power of the Lip Plumper, hahah…

  5. If my lips were double the size they would take over my face and swallow my head.

    Not exactly the look I think I want to go for.
