Today Is Truly A Magnificent Day

Please read the title with the coolest accent you can muster under the circumstances. If you say it in your normal voice, then shame on you. When given the chance to read something in a hilariously awkward way, seize the opportunity!

Ahem.

But that is besides the point. Today, I've decided something huge. At least, it's pretty grand to me. Perhaps you'll think of it as no more of an issue than getting a few aardvarks invading on a deserted island in the Bahamas, or maybe you'll agree with me that it's more of a King Kong type invasion. Today, Saturday, September . . . 15? Aherm. Yes. September 15, 2012, I'm doing away with the moderating of comments on this blog. Hmm, yes, yes. I can see that some of you are reeling in either shock, or you got a whiff of my latest project (let's just say one of the chapters I've been writing got a little messy with the taco incident and leave it at that). But my decision comes from something I've dealt with. For some strange reason, it somewhat annoys me when I post a comment on a blog, and it says, "Your comment will be visible after approval! YAY!" For some reason, it just irks me not to see that what I've said made public right then and there, as if I'm not trusted. On the other hand, when I post a comment and BOOM there it is in all of its black and white glory, I feel like the author of the blog will see it for sure, and possibly respond to it. Call me crazy, insane, or just plain odd, but that's my take on the whole thing.

I trust you all out there (well, maybe not that suspicious looking blob of radioactive goop in the back row to the right . . . ), and I hope and pray that this will make your lives just a smidge easier. I'll not be sitting around at the computer with a ruler in my hand, ready to smack the knuckles of a misbehaving comment anymore. Sure, I might accidentally not respond to one of your comments, but mistakes happen. If I don't type a reply to you, just remember: I either a.) could find nothing good to say, b.) couldn't find where your comment skittered off to, or c.) I'm off hunting down the ominous fuzzy caterpillar. Option A and B are probably the most realistic, though Option C isn't out of the question either.

Keep in mind, I'll still have my ruler handy, but this time, it'll be only smack comments that are being especially boisterous. All of you good comments out there? You get a nice pat on the head and a free invisible teddy bear on the way out (if I can find them, since invisible teddies are rather difficult to locate).

That is all.
