I'm sorry for taking so long. It's been a... heck I won't lie. It's been an average summer, but blogring doesn't pop up into my mind as much as it should.


The inbox is filled with spam advertisements, Viagra knock-offs and “genuine” Rolex e-mails are shifted immediately to the junk folder, along with at least twenty offers to get an extra three inches onto some things, and twenty-five pounds off of others with Jenny Craig's wonderful program, from herbal enhancements to female growth hormones. All of these sponsored graciously by Yahoo! Mail, as provided by the company's blazing fast Qwest High-Speed Professional Business internet. Greg closes his Microsoft-powered Outlook e-mail client, and turns to his work.


After work, Greg returned to an empty house, and a head full of things he really needs to buy. He turns back to his car, and notices his fuel gauge disparagingly low. The road leads him to the nearby Shell station, which doubles as a Penzoil Auto and Lube Shop. Suddenly, the 'S' in Shell sparks, falling from the sign, and crushing Greg's car.


Those two paragraphs seem odd to me. Did you switch up tenses randomly to exemplify the whole "this is a dream" thing, or were you silly drunk when you wrote this? Or am I silly drunk right now and out of my mind? I honestly haven't a clue.

By the way, if you ever need someone to read your random dabbles in writing, don't just post it here. Honestly, this place doesn't get much traffic. Send over a message, or something, anything really. I'm not much of a critic, but I do enjoy a good read.

Also, the first thing you wrote--your first post. It reminds me a lot of Wall-E. Did you by chance draw inspiration from that awesome movie?

And to the next post I've missed! (Assuming there is more of course)
