"Yes! Life goes on! Marshall has a new blog entry!" -You

I realize that it has taken a hell of a long time for me to update my blog, and there are many reasons for this:

1. I went to California for Thanksgiving, as well as Lake Tahoe. (Maybe one day I'll post the pictures that aren't X-Rated.)
   
2. I went to Austin, Texas for Christmas and met Brittany's family. (I would've taken pictures, but we dropped the camera in the jacuzzi at Caesar's Palace in Tahoe.)
   
3. Because of the pressure from my boss to be more organized, I have started reading Getting Things Done and it's starting to spill over into my personal life, making me far more productive with my free time. (So I don't spend it doing worthless things like blogging. *Pshaw*)
   
4. I've been writing a couple essays to post, but they're going to be long and they're both far from complete.

So there you have the explanation for my absence from the information superhighway. I have been inspired, however, by the recent influx of new people jumping on the blogwagon:

1. It seems that Chris, with his "This is my life...or something like it", was the first one in my cybercircle recently to obtain a blog, and he may have started the recent trend. While I think some of his ideas are a little misguided, he's proven to be an engaging writer and I applaud his efforts.
   
2. Then Grant released what sounds like an ode to low self-esteem: "Faint Flicker of Purpose,". Considering the events detailed in his journal, one could easily understand why he might be feeling down on himself -- But upon witnessing the quality of his writing and the clarity of his ideas, one might be confused because of how much there is to esteem. It seems this has become primarily a forum for discussing Jessica, Gambling, and how much Marshall sucks for not sharing his thoughts. Well my thoughts on the subject are: censored *grin* Regardless, I'm glad Grant's become a regular presence in my life again.
   
3. Lindsey then followed Grant (but this time not into his bedroom to make out) with her "It's about time isn't it?" Lindsey actually came up with the word in this post's title, "Blogwagon." While not the first person on the internet to come up with it, it's still clever nonetheless -- and the rest of her blog shares a similar quality. While in the past I've found her writing to be, at the very most, worthy of being consumed as dog food, her entries of late have been fairly apprehensible and very entertaining...especially when she bitches about Will. I'm glad Lindsey's back in my life too. Oh, and by the way -- I'm not a Buddhist! Maybe a Buddhjectivist... or Objecti-Buddha, as Joshua Zader likes to say.
   
4. Even though his blog would probably be really insightful and entertaining, Will is way too lazy to make a blog, so you won't see one from him anytime soon. (Could that be reverse psychology?)
   
5. Brittany does not yet have one, but she's planning to jump on with us. (There will definitely be more X-rated pictures then!)
   
6. Joe has a blog now, under his pseudonym "Zachary Bleu". And a picture of his ass on it. Zachary Blue is to Joe, as Slim Shady is to Marshall Mathers. (Sorry if I ruined your secret identity, Joe -- Not that anyone wouldn't have already known from looking at your ass.)
   

That looks like just about everyone, and it's about time for me to start wrapping up this post, because it will be the last one I every post here!

"No! Life is over! Marshall isn't going to blog anymore!" -You

Now wait a gosh-darn second! Drop that gun, noose, sleeping pills or whatever you just picked up! I didn't say I wasn't going to blog anymore, I just said this would be my last post HERE.

"I don't get it." -Jason

Well, I've decided that having only one blog isn't suiting my needs; I need to have multiple journals to publish different aspects of my life, which brings me to the meaning of bifurcation -- It mean's splitting into two. Except I plan on having more than two, but I couldn't find a word better than "branching" on thesaurus.com.

As many of you know, I have acquired marshallsontag.com. There is nothing there now, so whatever you do, do NOT click on the link!

Oh yeah, Just kidding, Jason!

Update: It turns out that Lindsey followed Chris, not Grant. Information on bedroom activities is pending.
