It has been suggested I should write something and that’s true enough. In recent months I’ve neglected to mention anything about my 5 year Newyorkiversary in September, Countdown ending at work in October, my upcoming vacation or my recent mysterious injury. I have also not discussed politics, celebrity gossip, the Occupy Wall St movement or reality television. But that’s because those topics all make me feel throwuppy and mad.
I will now attempt to rectify the aforementioned bloggational shortcomings before the year-end.
With regard to the injury, worry not dear reader. No serious harm done, just a very uncomfortable few days involving my shoulder seemingly attempting to separate itself from its body. However it should be noted for posterity that I have reached The Age of Inexplicable Ailments, whereby one can simply sleep incorrectly and injure oneself for more than just a few minutes after waking up. Aleve’s stock has officially increased by one more surly and decrepit 30 plus. I have humbly accepted this as my first step in becoming a lawn-defending curmudgeon.
I’ll be inflicting myself upon the Lone Star State next week which (for reasons that will blamed on the Ali’s) has been colder than New York till just recently. Standard Christmas merriment and cheer to be had by all with the exception of holiday air travel. Fully embracing the Christmas Spirit, each season I take a moment to pray for the person I’ll be sitting next to on the aeroplane. I pray that any conversation had will be uplifting, I pray for their spiritual wellbeing, and I pray that they will not have small children in tow. Or a cold they wish to share.
I think I’ll discuss the ending of Countdown and my New York City quinquennial in a separate post*. Being that they are a tad emotional and not matching the feel of a simple status update.
Till then,
Jasonius Maximus,I, Esq.
* I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the hardworking employees at Google, Wikipedia and Mr. Webster, without whom this post would not have been possible.
