Dear sir,

We at The Internet have appreciated the work you have done to increase the traffic on what we like to call the "information superhighway." Your dedication to your blog as well as your consistently high standards are valued. There are few placed in the often dark and seedy recesses of The Internet where thoroughfarers can find such a bright, nay, brilliant, nay, blindlingly luminescent example of wit, wisdom, and talent. Your blog burns with a white hot heat of insight amidst a world wide web of pale and dim shadows.
However, lately we have noticed a lack of activity on your blog. In fact, the last update as of 25 February 2007 was almost two weeks ago. We, like your father, are also disappointed with the number of posts dedicated to music videos. As such, we have a number of suggestions to improve your blog:
1) Since you seem incapable of consistently providing a song of the week we suggest your change the title of this particular phenomenon to "song of the indeterminate amount of time."
2) More updates.
3) Seriously, even posting a picture of your fingernail would be better than nothing.
4) And more of those bulleted updates, you haven't done that in a while.
5) Oh, and drink more milk, it might help your fingernail situation.

Sincerely,
The Internet

I second number two, and four.

John: I'm going to be out Ottawa way with my folks on July 1, I believe. If you and Laurianne are going to be around, I'd love to check out your place or meet up with you two somewhere. Forgive me for inquiring so early, but I've got to start reserving hotels sooner than later.

"blindlingly luminescent example of wit, wisdom, and talent"???

Hey Piet. We're all clear on July 1st, and we'd love to be able to see you again.

Anonymous - I agree, but who am I to argue with a source as authorative as the internet?

7) If all you wish to post is music videos and the occasional story, perhaps you should consider changing the subtitle of your blog. That is, unless your thoughts are only so limited as the occasional music video.

The fingernail situation still lies unresolved?

John den Boer said...

Jake - Yeah, I should probably do that. And, yes, my fingernail situation is still unresolved.

Who deh?
