This might piss me off more than anything I&#8217;ve seen before. (Yeah, even more important than the &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, but I don&#8217;t have time to blog&#8221; and the &#8220;I just don&#8217;t want my life to be public anymore, pity me&#8221; posts.) I found a donation button on a free blog. Here&#8217;s a tip. If your URL has anything along the lines of &#8220;blogspot&#8221;, &#8220;xanga&#8221; or &#8220;livejournal&#8221; in its address, and you&#8217;re not offering the cure for cancer, stick your donations up your ass. It&#8217;s annoying enough when people who are paying for bandwidth put a donation button up, but freebies? Get over yourself. (I&#8217;ve thought about doing the donation thing, but why should I? It was my decision to put this out there, my decision to find hosting, unless something drastic happens, where I can&#8217;t handle the cost anymore and people threaten to off themselves if I leave, then A) I&#8217;ll put up a donation button, and B) I&#8217;ll help those people find therapy. Really, I&#8217;m not worth it.) I wish I could remember the address that I saw that at, it really was quite silly.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, three things, this one kind of neutral to even the karma out around this post.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rammerjammeryellowhammer.com\/weblog\/2005\/08\/rammer_jammer_o.html\">RJYH Book Tour<\/a> is about to kick off. Unfortunately, the current schedule doesn&#8217;t have it anywhere near Indianapolis.  How am I supposed to <strike>stalk these authors<\/strike> buy these authors beers if they won&#8217;t come near me? <\/p>\n<p>Oh well, Warren, set your calendar for Doyt Perry Stadium on November 22, and all will be forgiven. (Speaking of, if anyone has ideas for orange-colored alcoholic beverages that will light your socks on fire, please pass them along.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two things.
