Technically, this is a new blog post … but you would be hard-pressed to find a more lame and sorry-ass excuse of a post than this

So this is what it’s come to: I’m in bed, on the verge of passing out from exhaustion … but, like any obsessive-compulsive iPhone user worth his or her salt, I can’t just climb into bed and go to sleep. Oh no; first, I must check Twitter and email, for you never know when that [...]

Dear Zan, Seeing as how your sister turned five a few days ago, I figured I should finally write the letter I've been planning to write you since your birthday last month. Sorry, dude; through no fault of your own, your seventh birthday took place smack dab in the midst of The Great Clusterf**k of 2010 (and please note my use of not just one, but two asterisks back there ... because I am a responsible parent who believes blatant use of the "F" word should be avoided when writing to a 7-year-old. Take that, people who think I'm not fit to raise children!).

Start spreadin’ the news…
