What You Might Have Missed While I Was Gone

  Yeah, sing to God: I'm back! I'm not longer grounded. And, like TV shows do when they've been off the air for a while and want to catch viewers up with what happened last, I've assembled a handy clip show--well, post--to catch you up with what happened while I was gone.

• Mark Valley will return to the courtroom as the newest member of the show Harry's Law, which means I'll have to catch up with that show eventually, too
• Casey "La Llorona" Anthony was released from prison and has decided she wants to get married (and you know there are sickies out there who'll love to marry her)
• My dad has decided that I love John Enos
• My family finally got the pool passes and has gone swimming
• My family went down to walk the boards in Ocean City
• Jackie Earle Haley turned 50 (and yes, it p---ed me off that I couldn't shout out his birthday, July 14th, because I was grounded)
• I began to seriously focus on getting some of my writings published, scrapped an old book series I was working on, and started a new, better, creepier (they're thriller/mysteries, people) one
• My brother turned 13
• Borders is going out of business
• In the car over here, I said I bit a lollipop and was sucking on it like a throat lozenge and my brother asked me, "Is that some kind of a drug or something?" 

  So yeah, now I'm back and I'm, well, just as good as ever (I was going to say "better," but, well, I don't want to lie to you guys). So get ready for more sarcastic, irrelevant posts about obscure things nobody cares about (that's why this is the "Second Chance Blog," people), because here we go.
