It's not you, it's me.

Yeah, um, so I know I haven't written anything in a while. It's not that I've forgotten about you or anything. I mean, you've been on my mind. Really. You have. I swear. I mean, it hasn't been that long...

What's that you say? Nearly eight weeks? Oh man -- I had no idea. Really. I swear. It's just that I've been so busy, what with my DVR and all.

No, you haven't been replaced by a glorified VCR! I could never do that to you, blog! I swear! It's just that -- I don't know -- I just sort of... Don't have much to say.

I mean, I have things to say. I just never get around to publishing them on you anymore.

I got you a new layout!

No, I didn't mean it like that! Baby, don't get mad! I just thought you might like a new look!

What's that? No, I didn't change the layout because of how you looked before! I liked the way you looked before -- it's just that now, you -- we -- can maybe make a little money off of this whole internet thing. I mean, if people click on those ads, maybe we'll get some cash. And then I can pay for your domain name for another year or two. I mean, I know the new layout doesn't make up for my absence. I just thought a change would be nice.

Look, blog, I like you just fine the way you are. We've been through a lot together -- my graduation from college, my search for gainful employment, my dad's death, another search for gainful employment, and a few weekend trips... You've been there the whole time, telling the world what I've been up to. I could never forget all that you've done for me. I just haven't had the time -- no, scratch that -- I haven't made the time for you.

I'll try harder. I promise.
