Alright sweet, I made it just in time. Sorry I cut it this close. I know I haven’t been here in a while, but I can explain:
Reading is hard. All those letters and dots smashed together to form words and sentences can be daunting. And this blog? Jesus. Sentences everywhere. Letters too, but mainly sentences with words. New sentences are being put up on this blog multiple times a day, every day, every week, all the time. That thing we do where we record ourselves saying the words out loud is tough, but at least in that case I don’t have to read the words coming out of our mouths. They’re just floating around haphazardly, like in that Gravity movie.
Reading, though, hell. You have to read to be up on everything. Odds are that you might be a person who does this all the time, or even (holy god) enjoys doing it. Well I had enough. I read like four things the whole summer. Judge me, whatever. After missing out on last season’s Bold Predictions, I’m excited to be here for the 2013-14 edition.
Wait- Aw, dammit.
BOLD PREDICTIONS – CHAMPIONS EDITION
I missed it again? But I even bought an alarm clock this year! Do you know how hard it is to find an alarm clock? Do you? They haven’t made one since 2007. I specifically wanted an alarm clock for the sole purpose of not missing this. I had to go to a yard sale in Ferndale to find one that didn’t have Cheeto dust caked between the buttons or a broken snooze bar. Ah – yeah. Yeah it was the snooze bar that did me in. Yep. Just now realizing this. Oh well. Maybe they’ll have a separate post for the oth OH COME ON
BOLD PREDICTION – THE ALSO-RANS
GRAHAM. JEFF. J.J. THE HELL.
I didn’t even make the “ALSO-RANS”?? What’s lower than an also-ran? An also-walked? God I hate words. Screw it I’m doing my own post.
