Dear Blog
You know that song by Australian Rockers, Thirsty Merc? 20 Good Reasons - it goes a bit like this...
"So tell me why should I let you go? / Give me 20 good reasons / I need to know"
Here's 20 Good Reasons Thirsty Merc should let me go.
1. You're obviously a crazy stalker. Why do I need to justify myself to a crazy stalker?
2. I don't like being trapped.
3. It is illegal to imprison someone.
4. It is immoral to imprison someone and make them justify their own escape.
5. I'm losing circulation to my hands where you've tied them up.
6. No band ever won an ARIA from prison.
7. I need to get home for tea.
8. Just because.
9. I don't like this game anymore.
10. You are denying me my human rights.
11. Cos you keep singing this song at me.
12. My family will be concerned for my welfare.
13. I like another Australian band better.
14. You will feel bad about this later.
15. I can't play this game all day.
16. Someone will notice I'm gone and come for me.
17. I will start to cry.
18. I will miss the start of Dexter.
19. My bum is going numb on this concrete floor.
20. I've got a bad heart and need my medicine.

Dear Blog
Everybody keeps telling me - "Chris, you need a blog. Do you know how important blogs are to the very fabric of the society in which we live?"
Well, perhaps not everybody. Just my friend Clive, who is a bit of a psychopath when it comes to the internet.
So here it is. A GORSKYS.COMedy first. The Gorskys blog.
Of course, the Gorskys invented blogging. The bloggers you see now were almost certainly not blogging it up in 1997 when the Gorskys started asking their readers to submit suggestions for their articles... Sound familiar? Yep, it's already a goddamn blog!
While we're on the subject of firsts, the Gorskys also invented the Vodcast... in a little show called "Cheat Sheet" somewhere in the year 2000 when internet video looked like you were watching television through a dirty window with a childrens telescope while suffering nasty cataracts. But you could subscribe to Cheat Sheet and watch it every week. I give you, the Vodcast.
So Clive, next time you tell me I need a blog, consider this. I am the father of blogs. The blog king. Mr. Blog, if you will.
But yes, I will make a nice little bloggy blog where I can just let it all hang out. If thats what you think would be best.
Love
Chris.
