MAY I be excused?

So, my blog is in a sorry state of affairs. It has been almost two, TWO months since I posted! I am planning to catch up and predate a bunch of posts because, c'mon, it just looks better in my blog book that way. So if there are a bunch of posts between April 16th and this one, the dates are all LIES. Nope, don't believe it. I have been a total slacker. I mean, May was crazy, just crazy! However, not crazy enough to justify this long of an absence. As a punishment for my inexcusable blog neglect, I forced myself to watch the music video of Milli Vanilli's "Blame It on the Rain" and then write the following parody. If you would like to punish yourself for some misdeed, you can watch it on youtube and sing along using my new awesome lyrics.

"Blame It on the Train"

I really meant to write this
Oh so long ago
But the words, they weren't coming
Writer's block, you know?
Now I wish I would have blogged
And I'm feeling so un-cool
I let time get away
Now I'm writing tons today!
Gotta blame it on somethin'
Gotta blame it on somethin'

Blame it on the train that was whistlin'
Blame it on the kids that did cry at night
Eleven PM, here comes the train again
Blame it on the train, yeah, yeah
You can blame it on the train

Should've gone to bed much earlier
So I wouldn't be tired
'Cause all the kids will be up
At five-thirty and be wired!
If I hadn't been so busy
I would be all up to date
I'm gonna write again,
But it just won't be the same!
Gotta blame it on somethin'
Gotta blame it on somethin'

Blame it on the train that was whistlin'
Blame it on the kids that did cry at night
Eleven PM, here comes the train again
Blame it on the train, yeah, yeah

You can blame it on the train
'Cause the train don't mind
And the train don't care
You can't sleep when it's comin'
Blame it on the train that was whistlin'
Blame it on the kids that did cry at night
Eleven PM, here comes the train again
Blame it on the train, yeah yeah

Okay, dear readers, have I suffered sufficiently for my sins? May I be excused for my horrific blog performance in May? I hope you'll say "yes" and that you will stick with me despite my inconsistencies. After all, it wasn't really my fault. I really had writer's block, and a lack of time and a lack of sleep, and I think we can trace all of it back to those dastardly Dickinson nocturnal trains. Blame it on the train. Yeah. Yeah.
