Since I seem to be having a mild nervous breakdown online ranting about everything under the sun, there is only one solution: get offline for a week!
I have never had any guest posters before on my blog. But you are in luck. I have arranged for FIVE of the finest and most popular bloggers to take my place on Citizen of the Month next week, all of them extremely well-respected and well-loved for their wit and wisdom. I am truly honored to have them replace me here at my home.
Starting at 1PM EST (10AM PST) today – THIS MEANS #1 WILL BE THE FIRST PERSON TO COMMENT AT 1PM, NOT THE FIRST COMMENT IN THE MORNING — July 31st, the first five people FROM THAT POINT — new readers included — who write this comment — “I want to guest post on Citizen of the Month” will have the opportunity to write guest posts here next week.
But beware: I will be choosing your topic.

I want to guest post on Citizen of the Month.
Oh Dammit. I didn’t see the time constraint – Back @ 10AM – Now I have something to look forward to today!
Me! I;m ready!
I want to guest host on Citizen of the Month!
“I want to guest post on Citizen of the Month”
I needed to get that in now because I won’t be at the computer at 1 PM. Pretend I pulled a time shift on your ass.
Really we don’t mind your ranting. Rant already! But if you must take time off, I hope you feel better soon.
Also, hey, no fair! I won’t be home then. I’m being discriminated against, this is time-ism!
Dammit! Naptime is 1p. I suck for not reading the restrictions.
Ha haa! i was going to ask you to guest post on mine with some others..maybe in the future. Yeah we all need a break!! It’s AUG DAMMIT! Maybe one day I can guest post here and write a queens or nyc story or just write about the chinese food in queens Yummm.

Fuck. Can I post date my comment??

Think I’m too late though. :S
Crap- I’m always too slow. Too long in the shower, I guess.
HA!! Maybe not………………
“I want to guest post on Citizen of the Month.” Really. You need to have the Jews well-represented here, and I’m willing to do that for you.
Sounds like a good idea, Neil. This place can be downright overwhelming at times. Whenever I take a break I come back refreshed.
I’m too late to guest post, but let me know if you still need anybody!
If there is one thing that I excel at, it’s following directions. Damn it! I could never color inside the lines, either.
I believe that you should have a clause, that anyone who didnt read your post and therefore completely overlooked your time line; should be out. (not really)
… I just had a very good morning laugh at all of the eager friends you have : )
I missed the deadline, but will probably enjoy reading the guest posts! Hope all is well!

looks like you are full up but I would love for you to choose a topic for me!
Enjoy your week offline. Try to find something purely joyful to do!
I’ll have to think about whether I want to or not and come back.
Enjoy your break.
I think taking a break from the internet is a very wise move. I felt great when I did it. Hell, I should do it MORE!
Lucky for you I am late to the contest lest I go hog wild all over your blog.
Sizzle, can’t you read? The “contest” doesn’t start until 1PM EST! The first person will be the one who comments AFTER 1PM EST.
I CAN FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! But I’ll be at my farewell lunch when your 1pm rolls around. Enjoy your week offline, I know I enjoyed mine.
I want to guest post. I just had to say it. dammit, it just came out.
Look at the response… you should totally monetize this site, get guest posters forever and just watch the money roll in!
Okay, apparently instructions are lost on your adorable readers! These eager comments are cracking me up. It’s not even 9 am PST, so I know it can’t possibly be 1 pm EST. It’s got to feel good to be so loved though. I don’t want to guest post – to much pressure, but I hope you have a wonderful week off!
i have a hard time coming up with my own topics! i can’t imagine guest posting for someone! at least you are choosing the topic! good thinking!
I was surprised that you didn’t ask for more pictures of your readers topless.
Hey maybe you can still make that happen. Provide instructions that they’re supposed to send you a picture fully clothed and they’ll be naked.
Sounds crazy, but who knows. That whole guest post at 10 PST/1 EST makes me wonder.
You’re going to picket every JC Penney store in the tri-state area there, aren’t you?? I smell ROAD TRIP!! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Windows down and radio cranked up. If you get bored, say the word and I will bring my lawn chair, homemade signs, and cooler full of beverage.
Take care, Neilochka.

Am I too late?

“I want to guest post on Citizen of the Month”
I want to guest post on Citizen of the Month. (I’m confused what time zone you’re comments are in.)
Also, YOUR, dammit. Eff.
it’s not just that “I want to guest post on [checking notes] CITIZEN OF THE MONTH” – I think I’ve earned it. I brew my own coffee. I think about my audience. I obsess about details others don’t notice. I have lovely imaginary friends. And it’s 10:13 PST. What more can I do to convince you?
