The five minute post










Seeing as how no matter when I look at a clock or where I am in my race to get ready, to finish, or to arrive, it is always five minutes later than I thought it was or needed it to be, I am going to have to adjust the clocks. As of now please set your clocks back five minutes.

I regret having to inconvenience seven billion other people merely to get myself on the correct schedule, but let me ask you this: how many times must a person consult the hour only to yell "Shit!" in exasperation? Do you want "Shit!" to be the only word I ever say anymore.

Thank you.

And it's not all bad. For the people out there dreading something I have now delayed it for five minutes. For those of you feverishly anticipating instead, this small delay will only make its arrival deliciously sweeter. As for me, well, I so appreciate your indulgence on this. Moving the clock back five minutes has already made such a difference for me, and I, uh oh. Shit! Look at the time!

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
