Happy Birthday to the NAP

Well. I can't believe it's been an entire year. I, for one, have used a guest writer once in these fifty-two weeks, a feat I will undoubtedly not reproduce. As for my opening promises, I have followed some, and ignored others.

I truly never "got" Jack White.

My self-exposure as a moron has been well documented.

I may have slipped a little on the Popol Vuh one, intending perhaps in my paltry wisdon to focus more on one big reference and then a handful of little ones. And in the process, I have yet to send some of promised music that I have simply let fall by the wayside. Remind me, one day it will happen.

Clearly I have not held back too much on my opinions, and have done so to varying degrees of success. live and learn, no?

I would have to say that in all fairness, I have probably seen about seven to eight hundred thousand faces, and may possibly have rocked a fairly respectable 74% of them. Over all, not a bad track record for our opening year.

No comment on the LA troubadour and his nefarious racket. Still won't give it the time of day.

I should take my promise number 7 to heart, once again, and let it do its thing once again, for the very first time.

And there you have it. A year of grumpy, whiny posts, a year of hopefully readable posts, and I have to tell you people, thank you for the support, the comments, the attention, and the fights. All have made this, at least for me, a rousing success.

And so, without further ado...

See you next tuesday, bitches!

You've always been quite readable John, I've enjoyed your posts and especially the way you regularly put of yourself in them.

I will say however, that it seems we havent had a good throw down here at nap in a while. I dont mean this to sound like you are responsible for throw downs, but since you mentioned it, it occured to me that it has been a while since we've had one. Have we become civil? have we become aligned in some way?

You totally made a Bon Jovi reference, John.

That's one more face, rocked to the core.

I hope that we have become aligned in some way, sir. I always hope for that with people. It's just that it doesn't always work out that way. I take no issue with civility either. What tends to raise my ire is grandiose bullshit and casually ignorant posturing, neither of which I would attribute to you.

Justin, on the other hand...

Bring it on Crane, I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

I don't think you're kicking anything in that skirt, Piper. You'd better go look for some more gum.

Bam! Who's next?

Wow, Justin, where did you learn you aggression techniques, watching Carson Daly at Wellesly College?

I learned most of my techniques from your mother, Anaconda. Most of the guys in the neighborhood did.

Mother jokes, Justin? How 80s of you. Do you also masturbate while watching Eddie Murphy in Delirious? I bet you learned that from your dad. All the kids in the neighborhood did.

Eddie Murphy jokes, Anaconda? Is that the best you can do? I would think that if you're going to put Eddie Murphy and masturbation in the same joke, you would have used Raw rather than Delirious. I mean, c'mon.

By the way did anyone notice that Heidi posted the shortest NAP blog ever. Crane has lost the title.

Did she post something? It seems like she would have to actually post something for it to be the shortest. I don't think nothing counts.

Tsk tsk heidi... Well, at least we made it a year, exactly a year actually, without a missed post. We'll call heidi's lapse, NAP's new year's day tradition... maybe it will land on Thursday next year!

And Justin, you can jackoff to any eddie murphy movie you like... i for one prefer to do it to delirious... that red leather suit is mmmmhot.

True, the red leather suit is way better than the blue leather, Michael Jackson inspired one in Raw. Maybe I'll switch.
