All Riled Up And No Rob To Read
I've been involved with Election Class and other tasks today, so blog posts have had to stay on the back burner. I have a task for those of you reading this today. Fellow blogger Acidman (AKA Rob) is going through some tough times and is taking a break from regular life to go take care of himself. I've been reading his posts for awhile now and we have a lot in common, though that wouldn't be obvious at first glance. Where I might use kid gloves in a piece of writing he doubles up a fist and strikes out with force. His writing hits you between the eyes. He'll make you laugh, flinch, frown and want to argue with him. You'll read something he said that makes you want counter it. He'll give someone a cussing and you'll probably start to leave, until you realize he's just pleading with humans to use common sense. And then you'll have to read just one more archived post. You'll listen to him chew up the universe and spit it back out and then you'll vow never to go back and read his posts again. But you will go back. I know I did. Some people have a way with words. Acidman has his way with words and he never lets us forget it.
Rivrdog has the details on how to wish Rob well. I hope you'll all let him know there are a lot of friends he just hasn't met yet.
