It's the moment you've all been waiting for. After many months (years, really) estranged from the blog, Steiner and I have decided to rekindle our blomance and grace the world with our wit and charm once again. You may recall the quipping, amusing, and sometimes heart-wrenching stories that once graced the pages our old blog, "Listen to Us, Fool." I assume you've been mourning the abandonment of that long-lost blog, and you probably feel a dark void lingering in the very deepest corner of your soul. Well, throw off that blanket of sorrow...a new blog has come! (That sounds spiritual...maybe I'm influenced by the Christmas spirit, or maybe our blog really is a source of hope and light for the world.)
Now be aware that in my years of teaching (one and a half, to be exact), my writing ability has declined. Ironic, yes, but after reading hundreds of fragments, unfocused essays, and their/there/they're mishaps, the creative juices that once flowed through my veins have slowly been sucked out by my less-than-gifted students. With this in mind, I bid you this warning: my portion of the blog may suck. I have full faith that Karen will still be able to produce insightful, clever anecdotes, but I cannot promise the same from myself. Therefore (look at that great use of a transition), I will not be offended if you decide to glance over my posts. Obviously, I will have no knowledge if you do this(don't you like how I'm speaking directly to you, the reader? I love when my students do this in their formal essays...it's almost as if we're having a private conversation), so I suppose you can disregard the previous 4 or so sentences.
Anyhoo, I'm already tired of writing. I don't last long these days. I think it will take me awhile to build back up to the multi-paragraph blogs I used to write (although I guess this is a multi-paragraph blog). Also, if you want to check out our old blog to see how funny I used to be, you can check it out at http://www.trexkmart.blogspot.com/. Karen wanted me to copy and paste all of our old posts into this one, but I refused (even though it woud only be like, 6 1/2 posts). Alright, peace out players. I will hit you up again in another month or so. Mwuahahahaha.
