"super nintendo, sega genesis, when I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this."

posts have been sporadic lately. i was thinking why that was. school probably. or maybe the blog world is just losing her fun. maybe the e.r.c.'s lost it. whatever it was. maybe he fell off. maybe it's the poor economy. maybe the deepthoughtsandlove crew's given themselves to twitter, or given all their energy to facebook. the latter is improbable, because if you were to ghostride my wall posts on the book you would see that the past 2-3 months were dominated by the sisters brown, and those were every few weeks or so. shout out to the brown sisters. the only notifications i'm seeing are "so-and-so challenges you to the name the walt disney films!!! quiz." maybe the e.r.c.'s just focusing on his rap career. ready to make a splash. maybe thoughts are shallow and love is lost. maybe the shifty weather's had our heads spinning. maybe team narwhale's early exit from the tournament took everything out of them. maybe the suns not making the playoffs wore me out. maybe news of blink 182's reunion just wasn't enough. maybe what it was isn't what it is anymore. there's no specific reason. too many lurking variables.

here's what it's going to be. i was looking through the photos on my camera and realized that i have a lot of pictures on there and a healthy percentage of those are of our good friend, mikey. i don't think i've formally introduced mikey to the blogtown. he moved into the boys ranch about a year ago. mikey's been down with the e.r.c. since the virginia days, but has meshed well with the whole deepthoughtsandlove crew. he sets up shop in the iron lung where raw-b used to reside. we have retired the name, iron lung, and now refer to it as the gentleman's club since both mikey and preston bunk together. mikey is a delight with his boyish charm, ability to shake what he's been given, gorgeous locks, contagious laughter, harmonica blowing, guitar strumming, video game playing, back-flipping, pizza making, etc.

mikey has many personalities and names. when he wears a green a's hat a little to the side, he is known as "fun mike" because of his fun-inviting nature and his resemblance to porky on the 90s version of little rascals. after that nickname it was fun to say things like "why are you sad, mike?" because it sounds like you're saying "why are you sad mike?" or "don't be mad mike." those might be poor examples, but for the next week i will be posting daily photos of mikey in his multiple forms and personalities and attach his name. this will help us return to the days where the picture of the day somewhat put us on the map and maybe build our loyal readers' and viewers' confidence and trust in us again. so come back soon....like....tomorrow (deseret industries).
