Mark Bigger has been making the Christmas party circuit again. He could comment on tonight's party and say how wonderful it was, how jolly it was to see truly good friends and have deep discussions of lasting merit, but alas, that would be inconsistent with the purpose of this blog.

So he expounds on his role at such parties.

Your blogger's role is extremely complicated. It involves incredibly dexterity, force of will, and a commitment to blarney. In effect, your blogger works at entertaining people without the use of piano, poem, program, or prop. He jokes.

Now if a completely objective view was given of Mark Bigger's jokes, the verdict would not declare his jokes to be havens of hilarity. In fact, some view Mark's jokes more as an escape from social reality than a haven of hilarity. But force of will puts your blogger through the obstacle of lack of encouragement. He dexterously finds solace in the polite nervous laughs of the hired catering staff. He perseveres. In fact, Mark's behavior at Christmas parties is a testament to what a character he is and what character he is so instrumental in developing in others.

For the icy coldness of silence is forever frozen out by by Mark's harmless banter at Christmas parties only to be interrupted by food entries into his inner being. Your blogger may not be the most well liked party goer. But he certainly competes for most remembered.

And now he will be remembered for promising an LOTR Movie review for today and being too tired to follow through.

Sad thing indeed when blogger reliant people of the world cannot trust their blogger to follow through on his blogging word.

I mourn with you.
