I can't believe I'm leaving tonight with 49,774 points. If I could just write one more post about anything, or nothing, I could add another 200 points. Then if I just comment on 2 other posts I'd be over the magic 50,000 threshhold so I could check in and sign up for my Localism sponsorships at noon tomorrow instead of waiting until 12:15.
But I promised myself I'd never do that again. I did that once before back in February with a post called 'I'm so ashamed' when I was trying to leapfrog into 5th position in my community. It was a cheap ploy and I was sore ashamed of my blatant effort to write a cheap post late one night just to score enough points to do it. I swore I would never again stoop to such antics just to score a few points. It was a cheap and hollow victory, but a victory nonetheless.
Well, truth be told, I did leave the door open. Like Obama on the campaign trail, I said I WOULD NEVER AGAIN RESORT TO THOSE KIND OF TACTICS (unless I was up against another deadline). Guess what.
The upshot of all this is that I'll be on a plane to Kauai tomorrow and I don't even get in until 11:30 tomorrow morning THEIR time. I don't even know what time that is in the real world and I think the localisms go on sale Mountain-Central Standard Time or something, which I know even less about. So by the time I get to the house and mix a Mai-Tai and figure out if the WiFi works, everything will probably be long gone. In which case, I will be too. But at least I'll have 50,000 points, and I'll be on the beach in Kauai, with my Honey, and that don't suck.
Hope your day goes real well. I know mine will. Happy Local raining.
