Should People With Boring Lives Blog?

Last night I realized I am boring. Well, my life isn't totally boring, but it's not especially exciting. It's not that I'm in a rut, I guess it's just that I'm in-between things right now and the holidays are putting a damper on getting my act together. Today's big news is Lewis Black pre-sale tickets for the Borgata went on sale this afternoon, and of course I did not see the email until this evening. Crappy seats anyone? Guess I'll have to pull some strings at the Borgata.

Should people with boring lives blog? Sure, boring people litter the reality television landscape, but at least there's no work involved in the onlooker's case. But reading a blog that's not chocked full of fun and adventure can be time consuming for the reader. Who wants to write the blog where the reader, upon finishing, thinks "I'll never get those ___ minutes back!". It's almost as bad as paying $12 for a lousy movie. Who knows, maybe I will look at this blog one day and realize that I need to get out there and do more to enhance my existence, for the sake of my readers. You will be the catalyst for my life having meaning. You should be proud of yourselves.

Then again, maybe I'm forgetting all the fun stuff. I have been doing that a lot recently, forgetting things. Maybe it's a sign of age, or maybe it's a sign of winter's discontent, but whatever the case is, I will try to do better. Not for myself, but for You. You are why I am here. The days of hanging out with rock bands, making out with bassists in Tony Roma's, sneaking backstage at the Aerosmith/Metallica show in Woodstock '94, chatting with Joey Ramone about the quality of Irving Plaza, those days will be revisited. Although I'm now too old to get myself into all kinds of trouble, trouble I will seek. 2009 and Bad Gal Byron is baaaaaack, bitches!

But I digress. Just because now I am able to afford bail, does not mean I'm willing to pay bail. Sooooo, come hell or high water I will try to make my blogs more interesting, within the context of the law.

Damn, I can't believe I said that. Sigh!

Ciao for now!
