Let Them Eat Cake
Two years ago today, this blog was born. What started as a little project to keep friends and family up to speed on my life here in the big city has evolved into the beast we know it as today.
'Til The Cows Come Home has been a place for me to vent my feelings and frustrations, express my intense dislike of certain talk show hosts, gush over hot Latin men and sexy British actors, celebrate glorious events and achievements, ramble on about absolutely nothing, and provide countless hours of distraction while at the office.
Most importantly, though, it has introduced me to some of the best friends I have ever known. And for that, I could never be drunk grateful enough.
Over the past two years, this site has been visited over 110,000 times. Thanks to each and every one of you (well, except the crazies and losers) for dropping in and sharing your thoughts. Come back often. The barn door is always open.

Posted by: jennir at May 30, 2005 2:59 AMThe great John LaTouche said it best:
Rent's overdue
My sister has measles
Hole in my shoe
My belt’s drawn tight
My income is nil
My in-laws are weasels
My present is dark
My future’s a fright
But as long as you are there
What in the world do I care?
Though hope is low,
I’m aglow when you smile at me
Life is simple as A B C
Not a thought in my head
Not a care in the world
Though skies are grey
I’m as gay as a Disney cow
Not a wrinkle upon my brow
Not a cent in the red
Not a care in the world
I view the scene
Like that old queen of Russia
As Kate the Great
Used to say long sgo
“Nichevo!”
And so if I move
In a groove with a giddy trot
I’m a trottin’ because I’ve got
Not a bean in my pot
Not a care in the world
Though I can’t jive
I revive when I see your face
Not a limp in my merry pace
Not a crimp in my style
Not a care in the world
Though I’m a wreck
I can peck if you take a chance
Not a shine on my blue serge pants
Not a crack in my smile
Not a care in the world
Why should I fret
When I bet on a sure thing?
Like Nick the Greek
Used to say ev’ry day
“Yip-i-ay!”
And so if I’m struttin’
With nuttin’ ahead in store
There’s a reason I said before
I’ll repeat it once more
Not a care in the world!
Congratulations on your two years. I started a blog but haven't been there in a few months. I should start it up again.
