Failing, Flailing, and Bailing...

...that's what I end up doing when I try to take on the whole world by myself. But that doesn't seem to stop me...

I stare at the page in front of me, (and this isn't the first time I've done this) and I can't think of anything I want to say. Nothing. Me, David Nida, verbose man of many words and few verbal lapses, cannot think of a single interesting or funny or inspiring or challenging thing to say to the rest of the world. (Who'm I kidding, maybe ten people. 12 tops!) What does that say? I don't know. If I did, I could tell you about it, but I don't know. I don't even have a speculative guess. I cannot proffer a gentle, prodding thesis into that calm, waiting void. Though I do feel like being unnecessarily and not altogether sensibly wordy. I guess if I knew what that says about me, I would be closer to knowing what my lack of, uhm, i dunno, communicative motivation (?) says about me. So this is what I've come up with to let the waiting throngs hear from me. I am breaking my silence to let you know that: Last night I completed 3, successively more difficult, Sudokus in less than 30 minutes. Yeah, Baby!!1

I do appreciate the 1 at the end of your exclamation points, haha.

hahaha. First I am laughing at Josh's comment.

What a surprise, as I clicked on your blog for probably the 83rd time since your last post and saw something new. How exciting. I want to say I am rubbing off on you a little (all those superflously wordy statements) but perhaps I have nothing to do with it. I don't know how you wrote/ talked before I met you. I certainly doesn't seem uncharacteristic of you to be that verbose. Actually, as I look back at the entry, the only thing that reminded me of myself was your use of the words "communicative motivation."

Excellent job on the Sudoku. I still haven't gotten back to that one I am in the middle of. Oh well.

There are only 14 people in the world, so you've got most of them reading...

I am saddened by my lack of proofreading and editing skills.

After your eventful weekend, you have more than enough stuff to write about:)
