1. You know your life is sad if you wake up on a holiday and the first thing you think of is a silly bit of writing you do every weekday. Shit.

2. But it’s nice when you’re able to stay to committed to things even when you don’t have to. Thank you, drugs. You lead me through the dark.

3. I’m kidding of course. The only drug I abuse is crystal meth, but it really goes great with a pesto sauce and sprinkled overtop of a salad.

4. I could use one of those life-changing realization thingees though. Anyone know if I can get one on eBay? I don’t want to spend too much.

5. So I’m only 135 away from 2000 tweets. This is monumental for me, as I’ll have proof that I’m verified as a creative time wasting idioteque.

6. Somfucius say: man who OD’s on self-depreciating humor may amuse total strangers on web, but may also jump off Tappan Zee Bridge in reality.

7. Of course, the drawback of SomBlocking at home on a holiday is you can get interrupted by your wife asking you to carry a basket of laundry.

8. It’s so hard to get back into the writing frame of mind after you’ve been disturbed. But, I was already ‘disturbed’. Guess I’m alright then.

9. Did you know Labor Day started from a print press operator that went into labor & accidentally crushed her boss? They gave her the day off.

10. Actually, Labor Day was started by CEOs who needed to silence the rising contempt of their workforce. Plus they wanted an extra day of golf.

11. I’m going to spend my Labor Day on the computer making web graphics and futzing with CSS tags, which may sound like… *brain disconnects*

12. This AM’s SomBlock is sponsored by hardworking folks who spend their workday emailing, checking Facebook, and tweeting. You deserve today.
