g-Style, the Weekly Blog-azine(TM)

Dear future g-Style subscribers,

It has come to my attention that people generally don’t take things in moderation. I cite all the alcoholics, foodaholics, sexaholics, and hydrocodone-aholics in the world. People also don’t like stuff that’s very lengthy, even if the Extenze commercials would purport otherwise (using their oh-so slutty actresses). 'He's been taking Extenze for a week, and I can really feel the difference.' Liars...

The epiphany came after one of my friends texted me saying my ‘blog is hilarious!’ but commented that I’m ‘letting [my] readers down’ by not having had posted this past week. It also came after another of my friends commented on about a dozen posts in a row. So at least 2 people have a tendency to read several posts at once to catch up.

I’m not sure if anyone actually checks in everyday to see if there’s another post up. If there is such a kindred soul, I do apologize for my lack of regularity (I should buy some yogurt or bifidus regularis). This is a problem that simply has to be addressed immediately. Some of my more demanding (rude) customers would put their left fist on their hip, lean over slightly, give a reproving sneer, wag their index finger threateningly and say, ‘So how are we going to fix this?’

*dramatic drum roll*

The Final Countdown with Will Arnett as GOB, my favorite character from Arrested Development.

I am adopting a magazine style with a weekly summary of last week’s blog entries so you can figure out what you want to read. All writings for a week will likely have been finished before Monday and will be released daily at 9AM. I am tentatively setting Monday as my summary day, where I get to pat myself on the back and laugh at all my jokes and cry all my crocodile tears. It will be where I try to kiss the reflection in the water; hopefully I won’t fall in and drown.

Seeing as I will have composed all my crap before the week has even started and will have started forward posting them, delayed-release style, the daily readers will be satisfied. And because of the week-end summary on Monday, my buffet-ers will be pleased.

And hopefully I’ll get more consistent, loyal readership. So get off Amazon.com, Buy.com, Overstock.com, Macys.com, [porn site deleted].com, or any other website that detracts from my ego. Grab my blog-azine off the cyber rack, look through the table of contents, gawk at pretty pictures of Marisa Miller in nightvision, and enjoy the musings of the ever so slightly insane.

Who do you suggest I use as my new pretty-girl substitute? I think Marisa’s posse might be considering to threaten me with some litigation.
