Wife - "Are you going to start this blog or what?"

Me - "I don't know. I need a name that fits."

Wife - "You've been saying that for weeks! You don't really want to do this, do you?"

Me - "Umm, not really. But I probably should. I just need a name."

Wife - "I've literally never seen you stall on something like this before. If you don't want to do it, don't do it!

Me - "No, I'll do it, I just need a name I'm comfortable with."

Wife - "Um, yeah, I know. Just call it 'Better Bees than Bears'.

Me - "It sounds too twee. And I hate referencing one of my songs."

Wife - "I like it."

Me - "It doesn't mean anything".

Wife - "Yeah it does."

Me - "Uhh....what?"

Wife - "It's like two things that are potentially harmful, but you'd still prefer one over the other. I think it's one of your more clever lines."

Me - "Gee, thanks."

FOUR WEEKS LATER

Wife - "Ok, this is insane."

Me - "I know."

Wife - "You've come up with a dozen names....just pick one....who cares? You really care that much??"

Me - "No. Which is kinda the problem, don't you think?"

Wife - "Then just pick one. I've had the page set up and all ready to go for DAYS!"

Me - "What was that first name we thought of again?"

Wife - "SIGH. 'Better Bees than Bears'."

Me - "Oh yeah. Alright, go with that."

Wife - "GEE, THANKS."

Me - "I don't think I like blogging."

You're hilarious, dude. I actually read it "better bees than beers." I guess the same could be said, that it is two things that you don't like (not necessarily harmful).
Still really funny.
Why "should" you blog, Ronnie Martin?

I did laugh.

BTW Have you heard OWL CITY, Ronnie? It seems he knows your work, well enough. Kind of an emo-esque JE thing going on.

You really need to do that SPC ECO remix, yo. J
