Animal Porn To The Rescue! (Also Known As, My Internet's Back Up).

The thing about writing a blog based mostly on humor and personal life experiences is sometimes nothing interesting happens and you're left with a black hole of garbage as you await for magic to hit your brain surfaces once again. It's possible you didn't notice, but I haven't written anything in over ten days (last post doesn't count).

My internet died as a result of some wiring issue last week, unfortunately zapping all my inspiration and making me more depressed than any human being should be over their blog being down (I seriously have no life). So when you feel uninspired -truly uninspired- it's kind of hard to get out of that funk. And I didn't want to submit you to a bullshit post just for the sake of getting hits and upping my internet rankings so instead I chose silence.

Well there's a funny thing about silence: it sparks odd behavior from those used to you constantly opening your mouth when not invited to do so.
Then things happen over the course of ten days when you're not living your life through a demon machine we call computer:

You cook (canned tuna counts). You watch too many movies.
You get a parking ticket.
You go to Key West. You accidentally walk into someone else's suite thinking it's your own only to realize your mistake after finding dirty underwear in the bathroom floor minutes later.

Your mom says you curse too much. You feel mildly guilty. You hardly sleep at night. You clean. A lot. You discover Lil' Wayne in the trash heap behind your house. You take a picture against his will.
You develop new methods of being useless. You complain to your friends about lack in mojo. You have the following conversation with one of them.

Ryan: What the bitch, yo! I'm dying at work and you haven't updated your blog in like, seven days.

Me: I know... (sigh). Totally uninspired.

Ryan: Well get inspired. Do a line of coke or something. This is Miami, after all.

Me: I don't do drugs. I oddly have nothing to say.

Ryan: What about that time you ran through your parents' garage door with your car?

Me: Boring.

Ryan: Or the time you went to Amsterdam by yourself and met some guy from match.com there.

Me: Boring. And it wasn't match.com, it was virtualtourist.com, buddy.

Ryan: Same shit. Write about animal porn.

Me: Animal porn?

Ryan: Yeah, man. Shit's crazy. Animal porn is the new gay porn. Just put some sort of disclaimer because PETA will come after your ass, and them peeps are vicious.

Me: There's something inherently wrong with you. Really. Gotta go.

Ryan: Me too. It's weekend time and there's no money to do anything interesting. At least there's liquor in them there hills. And by hills, I mean my house.

The weekend comes and goes. Your internet works again. People wonder where you are. A male reader wants to know how to break it to his girlfriend that he doesn't like anal sex. You wonder how you ended up here. You write back anyway.

After all, you feel your mother would be proud. And at least you didn't curse (that much).

J Franklin Evans said...

Welcome back, Gorgeous! I'm going through something similar myself--I just can't seem to get inspired. It'll end. Sooner rather than later, let's hope. Anyways, glad you're connected again!

yay your back!:)

Katie Mazur said...

I know exactly how you feel! I was without internet for 6 weeks through no fault of my own (i.e. Vodaphone)... my blog suffered immensely.

Glad you're back!

Annah said...

Super glad to be back and actually have writing material lined up.

Katie: Vodaphone reminds me so much of Europe. And Telefonica too. Can't wait to go back next year.

I like the detail of the latex gloves in the Lil' Wayne picture. You indeed found him in the trash and used the proper precautions.

TB said...

Welcome back! People are stupid. You are not their writer monkey. Vacations are good, even forced ones. :)

Danger Boy said...

Ah, inspiration. It comes from the most unlikely places. Good to see you back around. Don't let the idiots drag you down, update on YOUR schedule, girl.

Whitney Soup said...

glad you're back and reinspired!

Anonymous said...

Yeah I'm sure forcing men to do something against there will isn't a new thing for you, whore.

I see you went back to Key West. I'm sure the plethora of penises out there was too much for a girl like you to resist.

RFK said...

have heart having nothing interesting to say means your probably taking care of your life, glad your back :)

Christy said...

Yay! You are officially back!! And oddly enough you still had something great to say even though you feel unispired! That takes talent! LOL! You truly kick ass!! in blogging that is lol :) Love ya!

Here lately, there seems to be a plague of writers block among fellow bloggers, myself included. At least you are able to still able to entertain while suffering from the plague!

thatwhitegirlsblog said...

Glad you're back! I was starting to feel a bit stalker-ish during those 10 days; repeatedly checking your site only to find no new material.

I was also told not to cuss, but it was from my kids. (I had said "crap", for fuck's sake. that's, like not even a cuss word.)

they said I could use "fiddlesticks" or "piffle."

so, there are such sweet fucking suggestions if you need them.
sending the love,
jill

Opto-Mom said...

You are very talented to be able to write a post about not having any ideas for a new post. And it made me smile! Missed ya!

Rommel said...

Susan Cooper said...

Very nice post. Life is funny, when you think you have nothing to see, enjoy or say, something shows up. You made me laugh. :-).

Because of your cartoons I have started to draw again. Thank you for that.

Joshua said...

Well, I'm just now finding you (and finally visiting people who have left comments on my blog from the last two weeks), and from where I am you have plenty to say and plenty for me to read.

When are you going to post something new? ;^)

Laura said...

I did miss you. So glad you're back. I think I would like to here the story about your visit to Amsterdam.

That song by the Bloodhound gang played in my head as I read about Animal Porn.

"The Bad Touch"

It seemed appropriate.

Ninja Mike said...

I'm with Ryan. Do an animal porn post. And that seems like such an odd thing for PETA to get involved with.. I mean, not to get too graphic, but I doubt the animals really have too many complaints... Hell by that logic, we should rally behind every animal that's not getting laid in some way... Now, kids, is that point where I've thought far too much about this. Thanks for coming with me to this point.
