First, let’s take care of the important things. Everybody needs to head on over to Stan’s site and listen to his latest song, Pray for Rain. So why don’t you all go ahead and do that now before reading the rest of this post. Go on now, don’t be shy.

I’m serious.

GO!!

And while we’re at it, if you haven’t done so already, you need to go vote in the final round of the Best of Shyzer. To those who have voted already, Thank You! To those who haven’t, may you rot in hell. Wouldn’t you rather receive a thank you? Then go vote!

Okay, now that we have those taken care of, I can get on to the pointless crap I was going to talk about in the first place. If you take a look at the post below, you will see there’s a total of 11 comments. ELEVEN! That, my friends, kicks some serious ass. Way to go on the commenting and keep it up! I also wanted to thank everybody who mentioned to me both on-line and off-line that they enjoyed the post. I know I say this every time, but I truly love receiving feedback on the stuff I write here. It gives me motivation to stay with it.

Although, some of you may be saying to yourselves, “if feedback gives you so much motivation and you received tons of feedback on the last post, where in the hell was your motivation to post during this past week?!” Well, that’s an excellent question and the answer lies in one simple phrase. Writing a senior thesis blows. It’s just that simple! I’m coming down the homestretch here and I officially have 72 hours left until my final draft is due. Which means, during the day I spend my time going to class and working while at night I am forced to replace my usual “Shyzer” time with a new set called “Oh my God, I have no fucking idea how in the world I am going to finish this thing by Monday” time. And somehow, that time is even worse than the name sounds. So yeah, I’ll be spending my entire weekend living in the basement of the library. Come Monday, you’ll probably be able to find me by coming on down and closely listening for the sway of my body since I’ll probably hang myself around Sunday evening.

I do promise, however, to make at minimum one post during Saturday / Sunday. Possibly two, but I won’t push it. I finally put all the word documents I had that contained partial posts into one folder and counted them up. Twenty-seven. TWENTY-SEVEN! Some of them were so outdated that I had to just toss them in the recycle bin, but I was able to salvage a few of them since they were non-time sensitive posts. But Jesus, 27…I’ve made a promise to myself to finish them all before I head to Australia (which, as you guessed it, is one of the 27).

And I just realized something. This post is the type of post I abhor and loathe the absolute most. There was not a single piece of real substance in the entire thing and I basically just wasted a few minutes of everybody’s time by making them listen to my whining. Sorry about that folks. I promise this weekend’s post will something worthwhile.
