Sure, looking at it excites me, purchasing accessories for it makes me happy, but when faced with taking it outside I get anxious, then I tuck it away and grab my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bigbluemess.com&#038;blog=13056173&#038;post=1829&#038;subd=bdoughty&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend DeAnne sent an email out today that linked to a great blog post titled “You are Super Cool” along with a YouTube video. What DeAnne didn’t realize (until she started reading my post) is that her timing was impeccable, because this weekend I convinced myself I was exceptionally un-cool. It all started Saturday [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bigbluemess.com&#038;blog=13056173&#038;post=1818&#038;subd=bdoughty&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

You&#8217;d think budding sketch writers (or their sidekicks &#8211; that&#8217;s me!) would already have one worked out; you&#8217;d be mistaken. When asked, I confidently proclaimed, &#8220;I can write from 5:30 to 6:00 every night&#8221;. It seemed kind of doable [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bigbluemess.com&#038;blog=13056173&#038;post=1810&#038;subd=bdoughty&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
