2013 year in review

March 16, 2013 and the year is 1/4 of the way done. So why a year end review of a year only 1/4 of the way finished and in the rear view mirror? Well, I'll tell you. Truth is, I don't know. I'm bored and once again I need to write something to stay in good standing with this site. I wouldn't want the Examiner thugs knocking on my door again saying, "You ain't written nothing lately. Da boss wants ta have a woid with ya." Actually that never happens but it would be funny if it did. Big dumb guys in ill fitting suits and bowler hats threatening writers with violence if they don't write something. Yeah! There's an idea for a story! Dibs! It's mine and it's already copyrighted so back off. Honestly though, when I do slack a bit with my work here, which nobody even reads, all I get is a very nice form e-mail from Examiner in which they express their concern for my well being, my health, my pet rabbit, and my various off shore accounts. I sincerely appreciate that. I really do. But the group hugs eventually feel a little wrong if you know what I mean.

So, I'm actually not reviewing the first 1/4 of the year at all am I? I should probably change the title of this article. And oh yeah, "Cleveland". I am the Cleveland Writing Examiner so I should probably mention Cleveland somewhere here. So. CLEVELAND. WRITING.

Sometimes I sit here trying to write something and I just end up looking at the screen, my mind going completely blank. Like an awkward silence during a lull in a conversation. Like right now. I am having an uncomfortable silence with the computer.

So let's review, shall we?

1) I am not really reviewing 2013 just yet.

2) CLEVELAND.

3)

The End.
