Back on Wednesday morning, I upgraded to the latest version of WordPress.  This morning, I’m skimming my feed reader while devouring a bowl of Chocolate Chex.  I see a post over at Nobo’s blog indicating that she was unable to leave a comment here. It turns out that the upgrade broke my blog, and nobody could leave a comment here. So, in the event that you attempted to leave a comment here, but you were unable to do so because my blog was broken, but because I don’t have an email address posted on this blog and because you don’t know my phone number, you were unable to let me know that you couldn’t comment on the blog, which caused you to become mildly depressed, leading to problems at work and/or at home and made you turn all Emo and gave you thoughts of cutting yourself, I’m sorry. The problem is fixed now.

    perhaps the shut-out inspired some really good emo music?

    last night on the top 100 songs of the ’80s, Brett Michaels confessed that he wrote “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” (which, by the way, VH1 spelled with an “It’s”) after he called his stripper gf and heard another guy cough on the other end. He said it was a moment of real pain and heartache that inspired a song that will “live forever.”

    also, this post didn’t come up on my google reader this morning.

    Dang it! I was hoping this was going to be a post about truckers and the colorful language with which they speak! You got me Omar.

    When I was young and very ill, (I think I had a cold or something) My mother went to rent Smokey and the Bandit from the video store, but they were out, so she rented Convoy instead. I can honestly say that movie did not change my life, but I did ask everyone to refer to me as “Rubber Duck” for a few days.

    Several years later I tried to convince 2 of my fellow employees to learn CB Jargon so that we could communicate to each other without anyone else knowing what we were saying. The idea was met not only with disinterest, but a fair amount of disdain too. That was two dis’s (disses? dises? dissis? … whatever) too many.

    Ok, I’m pulling the plug. Onj Out.

    So is it worth the upgrade? ‘Cause if it breaks my blog, I don’t know how to fix it, since my brother is not here. He is my resident blog fixer-upper-when-brokener.

    Also, when I switched to 2.5.1, it stopped sending me emails when I got new comments… they’re finally starting to trickle in, but I don’t want anything weird to happen if I upgrade again.

    when i cut myself, it shows you love.

    my heart loves you so much it vomits blood.

    yeah, see? all emo on your arse.

    i think it would probably have been most helpful if i would have had your home and cell phone numbers.

    so if you could send me that information, along with your address, driver’s license number, social security number, pants size and favorite color, that would be great.
    thanks.

    And all was, once again,right in the world…

    please disregard my second comment; i guess i was too fast for google reader.

  8. Heffalump Says:

    Yes, you really should just post all your personal information so we can call you the next time there is a technical difficulty!

  9. Annie Says:

    Take two episodes of Project Runway and call me in the morning.

  10. No Cool Story Says:

    Wow Omar. I left so many comments it’s not even funny.
    I feel that all my work, effort and UPing my game kinda went to waste since you are never going to read my witty commets =(

    I’d feel better if you gave me something, I don’t know, to make me feel better (no being able to see my comments kind of ruined my Girls’ Week.) How about 10,000 cool points or the space pen?

  11. Omar Says:

    NCS – How about -10,000 points for the LIES!! When it was broken, it wouldn’t have even let you get to the page to leave a comment!

    seven – The fix was easy, once I found it. Not sure if it’s been worth it yet, though.

  12. Lauren Says:

    Your assumptions were all correct.
    Don’t let your blog break next time…geez.

  13. wynne Says:

    Do you mean I missed another Black Hole moment? Drat. I had a dead body I needed to toss, too…

  14. No Cool Story Says:

    10,000 points for the LIES. It’s a deal then.
    YAY for me!

  15. Nobo Says:

    I have arrived.

    NCS sure is easy to please.

    I read “Elmo” not Emo and I just thought that perhaps they had some cuhhhhhhrazy Sesame Streets in your neck of the woods.

    If we’re talking points, I POSTED to you. C’mon, who comes back from the dead and does that kind of stuff to go with your chocolatey chex? Superstars do. That’s who.

    I knew there was a reason for that niggling depression that just wouldn’t leave me alone all weekend but suddenly went away this morning.

  17. Lia Says:

    No, wait, that can’t be it. Cuz it was fixed on Friday, right? Oh, well. Can’t expect my brain to be that functional this early on a Monday morning.

  18. nancy face Says:

    Gee, I missed out on all the broken blog excitement while my computer was busy being mostly dead!

  19. No Cool Story Says:

    My points.

  20. Rhonda Says:

    Yeah NCS! Too bad cool points don’t exist anymore. Maybe Omar will give you that space pen instead.

  21. Rhonda Says:

    Yeah NCS! Too bad cool points don’t exist anymore. Maybe Omar will give you that space pen instead.

    PS. Poor Brett Michaels. Such a sad stripper GF story.

  22. Rhonda Says:

    Stupid Blackberry. Why do you make me look foolish?

  23. Omar Says:

    NCS – that was NEGATIVE 10,000 points for the lies. Not +10,000.

    Rhonda – You should have commented from your iPhone instead.

  24. Rhonda Says:

    No doubt! I never should have cheated on my first love.
