Dear John, I've moved on to something better

I'm sorry blog. I've come back to you. I realize I must have somehow put you under the wrong impression in 2006. You thought I was letting you go, cutting your strings, releasing you. You are mistaken, darling. You see, the year is now 2007, and it's a beautiful time. We won the war and Germany is in ruins. But I suppose you knew this already. Anyway, let's talk some statistics. In 2004, I wrote 45 blogs. Considering that I started writing in late 2004, that was quite a prolific half-year. In 2005, I only wrote 34 blogs. A bit of a drop, about a 24% decrease. But in 2006 (last year), I wrote a worthless 12 blogs. TWELVE! That is a 65% decrease. Now, I know these distressing statistics are not what is on everyone's mind, but rather how I, being challenged in the field of mathematics, arrived at these figures. Well, I guess we are due for some comic relief. I am now a math tutor. Please compose yourselves. Along with teaching chess classes and English, I am now teaching math. How is someone who nearly failed Algebra 2 a math tutor, you ask? I know not. Don't ask me, it mars the dream. The bottom line is I'm teaching math and I'm actually doing well. I can recall taking my math placement exam for CSUN 3 years ago. My brother took me to the test. He gave me a short pep talk outside. He said it's okay if you land yourself in the 1stlevel of remedial math, but please... Try to avoid getting placed in the 2nd level. That's for the weakest students. You'll basically be in class with the football team. I remember these words now and smile as I realize the joke was on him all along. No, I don't mean because I would eventually become a math tutor. I mean because CSUN has no football team. By the way, I didn't end up in remedial math at all.

So as you might have guessed, for 2006, one my New Year's resolutions is to produce more blogs, whatever the content of them may be. And the end result is that you will all suffer reading through the garbage.
