POP QUIZ! There are so many apologies backlogged on Lifting Fog that:
a) An internal search for “sorry” now brings up as many hits as “movie review” or “Michael Cera + shoot me” (our bread and butter)
b) We’re actually forced to spend as much time writing these new apologies as we would any normal post, given the cliches we’ve accumulated in 37 previous attempts
c) Our grandmothers have told us we “ruined blugs for them. That’s what they’re called, right?”
d) WordPress has politely asked that we take the old site out back and quietly (but decisively) put an end to its misery
We’ll have to apologize for not including an e) All of the above, because they are ALL PRETTY MUCH CORRECT.
Life, right? You’ve got some creative momentum and think you’re operating at a good click — really flexing those writing muscles on important issues, like the Oscars — then BOOM! It’s a month later and you wake up in a daze wondering what hit you so hard in the face. No, that wasn’t an abusive girlfriend. It was life.
But we’re a regular Chumbawumba song here at Lifting Fog, and know that for every “get knocked down” there has to be a “get up again” rounding out the refrain. Ain’t nothin’ gonna keep us down.
…We’re maybe MORE, though, an Insane Clown Posse song called “Miracles” (which you probably saw parodied — if there’s any way to parody something already totally nuts — on SNL) that sums up in curse words and clown makeup everything our little corner of the Internet is about:
Yup, that should do it. “Magic everywhere in this bitch.” Good to be back!*
* Not a guarantee

“Ruining blugs” sounds like something Mama Frawley would say…kind of like the “tsunumis” in Puerto Rico…

I’ve learned firsthand just what a nuisance those tsunumis can be, so Papa Frawlz’ Mama (…Nana Frawlz?) was right to keep you guys on your toes. Chances are she got her intel from the blugosphere!
