Words for My Enjoyment

This Post Was Meant For Yesterday

May 8th, 2007

I made a huge screw up.

See, yesterday’s post — which dealt with 10 words that don’t sound like words once you say them thirty times, was actually meant for tomorrow, while today’s post was meant for yesterday. The ripple effect of such a situation also caused tomorrows post, which was supposed to be two days from now to be a week from now, thus causing next week’s posts to be shuffled and re-posted to February 2007.

Needless to say, I’m a bit embarrassed.

I often prepare my posts ahead of time, giving them dates and slotting them with times. I often try to have my posts show up at 1am PST so that my glorious friends on the East Coast are able to read them with their morning coffee. When I wrote yesterday’s post (the day before yesterday), I had specifically planned for it to appear yesterday at 1am (which was today at 1am) so that people could read it on a Monday — thus giving them great Monday cheer. I also always strive to make the Monday post simple and easy on the eyes (thus, a list) so that people coming back from a weekend of debauchery, can handle the reading comprehension.

That being said, yesterday’s post was meant for today.

Because yesterday’s post was meant for today, and today’s post was meant for yesterday, the ripple effect (which was previously mentioned in the second paragraph of this entry) had a long lasting effect that will somewhat result in a re-slotting of posts. So. For those keeping track of such things, here’s where we’re at:

Yesterday’s post, which was posted yesterday, was meant for today, causing today’s post to end up being pushed to tomorrow. What was originally slotted for tomorrow’s post (about “loud swallowers”) would normally go to the day after tomorrow, but since the day after tomorrow (Thursday) is a special day here at WFME (the 10th), I already had a post related to Things That Come in 10’s slotted for that day. That, of course, makes the loud swallower post an orphan post that will have to be pushed to next week, which will in turn cause one of next week’s posts to end up being orphaned as well, causing an elaborate ripple in the WFME time continuum, resulting in — eventually…

…a post dying a horrible death.

That being said, this post you’re reading right now was never meant to see the light of day (unless I randomly went missing, at which point a different “I’ve gone missing, call the police immediately” post, would be posted in my strange, unexplainable absence.) But because yesterday’s post was meant for today, and the ensuing confusion resulting from such, I had to craft yet another “This Post Was Meant For Yesterday” post from scratch, since I couldn’t use the “This Post Wasn’t Meant For Yesterday,” which was originally meant for the unique situation in which I posted something about someone and then regretted said post, using it as a sort of retraction. Of course, I also couldn’t use my “This Post Means Something To Me, Unlike Yesterday’s” which was the post I’d put up in the event I wanted to distance myself from a previous day’s post due to the backlash (i.e. like the time I said I hated trees or that littering was OK).

But this post? Meant for yesterday.

Hope that clears it all up.
