the smedley log - suburban scrawl

A different kind of manifesto

As recent clouds of thought leave this blog lacking in fresh material, I thought it a good idea to redirect a few of you to an item from one of my regular reads.

Dave Luna, known for his unique brand of hit-and-run blogging (not to mention one of the greatest blog titles in history), has written a couple more verbose entries lately. The competitive writer in me wanted to believe he’d been keeping his posts short to mask some deficiency in his writing skills, but after reading this post about standing on the brink of unemployment, I’m pretty sure that’s not the case.

Oh, wow. Thanks, Howard! I am so honored.

Don’t mention it – I think someone at a party once told me the key to blogging was dashing off posts with few words and watching the hits come in. If that’s true, you might not want to make a habit of writing longer posts.

But I did enjoy that post quite a bit.

That wasn’t me who said that, was it? If so, I must’ve been quite tipsy.

Hmmm. You didn’t seem drunk.

Oh my. I don’t remember saying it, but I don’t doubt that I did. My face is red.
