My email inbox has been filled with requests asking me to continue as a blogger. I have been convinced to post something on a daily basis.
A suggestion was made that writing in local dialect is bad. I shall now do my very best to write only in correct American English.
The primary basis of my complaint was that I worked hard to create original content and that too few of you recognized my efforts in your comments. Since "new" and "novel" did not seem to be what was wanted, I shall follow the lead of the most popular blogger and shall no longer attempt to be creative in my blogging efforts. As well, I will attempt to disable commenting on all future entries that I create.
Most of my future blogging will involve my boring you with the mundane details of my life, describing the futility of trying to get a book published when you have no financial where-with-all or contacts in the publishing industry, and infrequent linking to efforts of others with accompanying comments such as "heh," or "indeed."
UPDATE: OK, back to normal --- kind of!
If you consider yourself to be my friend, comment to this post. I would like to know who my friends are.

Posted by: Tony S. at January 21, 2005 04:55 AMThe Arabic word for "friend" is "siddiq"
/sid-eek/. Since I've only just discovered this blogging site and we haven't been formally introduced by Moona, is it possible that Zaboon (another Arabic word) can be your siddiq?
Sure. Welcome siddiq Zaboon.

Actually, I preferred it back in the Rantin' and Ravin' days when you just wrote normal-like.
