The solution was so easy. For weeks, I was struggling with content to help fill a blog worthy of writing, and it just took the most simple act to bring things back to where they should be. All I needed to do was go to the grocery store.
For those who have read before, you are probably aware that I don't trust grocery stores. They are full of creepy people, strange sights and awkward conversations just waiting to happen.
My much-needed trip was not an exception, despite the fact that I tried to avoid the "danger zones." "Danger zones," for those wondering, include

Things are going just too well...
It's kind of a good thing for me, when Mark My Words doesn't have an update for a while. Usually, it means life is following a pattern that I would deem as "Normal" for the average American, and due to this, have nothing to say or complain about.
But it's also a bad thing, because during these brief stretches, I also have very few stories to entertain you with... so I feel it's a little selfish of me to live a normal life.
Unfortunately, the last two or three weeks have been extremely normal, and happy times for me. I spent a lot of time with friends, completing a long list of tasks we had decided would need doing over break. This list included movies, a 2000-piece puzzle, games, meals, skating, and several other items, and we still haven't finished it, but knocked out a big chunk.
Yes, I know, what a tough life for me... Well it is. It's also made me a little lazy. Instead of going home and accomplishing simple needed tasks like grocery shopping, I spent my time after work or before baseball workouts at my friends' apartment. My fridge currently contains a bottle of juice, half a bottle of spaghetti sauce, mayonnaise, what's left of a block of cheese, and pop. No, not "Soda," POP.
The only other thing to note is the fact that my friend Jill got me a U of M snuggie for Christmas. In fact, all of her roommates received one from her, and since I spend a lot of time there, I have been blessed with the title of "Honorary Roommate," which no doubt earned me my snuggie.
In Cosmo, wearing a snuggie is the #4 thing a guy should NEVER do. Well, I'm here to say they are extremely warm and comfortable, and this guy wears a snuggie almost daily in our cold house. What do you think about that, Cosmo?
So at least now you know I didn't abandon my readers... Hopefully things start going more poorly for me, so I've got more stories for you soon.

My 2010 New Year's Resolutions
Ladies and gentlemen, today marks a new year, a new decade, a new era. Today is a day of firsts, a day people around the world vow to start something new, make improvements on their lives, and become better people. There's such a sense of wonderment in the high expectations placed on a new year. Unfortunately, by the time December rolls around, disappointment has settled in. Those resolutions we grasped so firmly on January 1st come flying back to us in late December, reminding us of where we ended up leaving them - January 4th.
But with a new year comes new hope, and so the cycle continues. Ladies and gentlemen, I write to you today to announce it is time to break the cycle of disappointments. It is time to stand by our resolutions, and hold them firmly as we fly through this next year, this new year of our lives.
But it is not to be done with ease. No, one can not simply choose resolutions at a whim and follow them for the new year. Great care must be taken in choosing these commitments.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is why I am here today. I am here to show you the path to a successful year of resolve, to lead by example. So with that, here I am, setting the bar with my list of 2010 Resolutions.
