Cliff Gardner Mission Statement

You know that kid in class who talks all the time whether she/he has something to say or not? Sometimes they’re kind of funny and what they have to say is sort of intelligent but other times you get the impression they’re just talking because they don’t know what else to do? Oh, and whenever you have a conversation with them, they say stuff that would seem to indicate that they weren’t really listening to what you were saying at all?

I’ve decided that Cliff Gardner has become the blogging equivalent of that obnoxious kid. Two posts a day has become the norm and aside from my recent commentary on race relations, pretty much everything is silly crap designed to get a laugh. I find myself straining to think of things to blog about. My comments on other blogs are usually shallow. Well, to quote Kevin Costner in the cinematic gem Wyatt Earp, it all ends now.

From now on, I will only blog when I have something to say. I won’t feel obligated to update or be funny when I do. My posts might tackle political issues that I think need to be addressed or short stories that I’ve been thinking about writing or just what’s going on in my life. I will only comment on your blog when I feel that what I have to say will add to the discussion.
