The End of Year Zero

When diztopia was born
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for passionate Christs
And new cream puffs in town
There were Spring Street smackdowns
And the new Hamburglar was scorned
When diztopia was born

When diztopia grew
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for Olsen Twins slime
And Photoshopping Iraq
Though drag queens carjack
Some preferred the juxtaposed view
When diztopia grew

When diztopia matured
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for INXS's "last gasp" 
And lazy photo-pair jokes
By way of monkeys galore, and downsized Cokes
And the donut drink post, many link-whores were lured
When diztopia matured

But now I'm phoning it in
With link dumps and bile
And I use this blog as an excuse not to toil
Cheap shots are my niche
And I still like to bitch
I guess it's actually quite clear
It wasn't such a good year

But thanks for listening here. cheers. beers? shmears!

          Actually, the link dumps are a lot of fun, particularly when I'm on night shift and get a night off! I can waste untold amounts of late-night time popping the heads off of FBI agents and the like!

          I can't imagine spewing off a column or two a day like you were in the beginning. My god! With my editing skills, it would be like a full-time job...

If you took that to Mos Def, you'd be a star on Def Poetry Jam!

I actually intend to get back to daily posts once a particular freelance project gets wrapped. But it seems to not want to die. Die, damn you! I like Mos Def, but I'm not sure how he feels about churlish rip-offs of Ol' Blue Eyes ...

Congratulations on your first year of blogging! I hear that these blog things are very popular. You are so in touch with what all of the kids are doing these days. Here's to diztopia's sophomore year! America could not survive without your witty observations and of course the link dumps.

Please don't mention my touching the kids. My probation officer reads this on his break.
