Many of you have been wondering - how is it that Caitlin gets people to participate in this nonsense?
For that matter, you might be asking yourself: how is it that Caitlin gets me to read this Blog everyday day despite the fact that I'm "ashamed to be a part of this", she's "completely full of herself" and MetaBlog is "completely out of control"?
Good question, readership, given that the last I checked I wasn't holding a gun to any of your heads.
The answer lies in my very practiced (not-so) subtle art of Withholding Approval Until I Get My Way. Just ask everyone involved in the Ski Boat Tantrum of 2010 (the fruit of which you can all enjoy as the weather gets warmer).
It can be quite a powerful, productive force when "My Way" is closing the achievement gap for 60 3rd graders in The Bronx, but an equally powerful destructive force when "My Way" is getting Farmer Dan to take his clothes off, Wes to hold his head back like a nosebleed and Bernie for us, and Judith to write me fake blogs about names that are simply not names.
I can't reveal too much more about this manipulative art publicly - as I believe my parents read my Blog and "My Way" has a few other projects in the works.
This is exactly what I needed on this shitty, shitty day. Also, how are you still on the damn Bronco? That was months ago.
