re-commencement

I'm not completely sure why the graduation ceremony is called "commencement" since it occurs at the end of your college career. It's probably some lighthearted witticism about how we are commencing our new lives beyond the horizon of college.

Well, don't buy into this propaganda, friends. Perhaps if college had been strewn with laziness, boring holidays, an assortment of unscrupulous relationships, habitual drunkenness and ugly friends - perhaps then we would have reason for this "commencement" to renew our ridiculous lives. As it is, we can claim the opposite and rejoice that our commencement began years ago! We are so ahead of the game, friends. Beautiful, adventurous, witty, charming, ambitious... we have only one flaw - our flaky upkeep of this blog.

I challenge you, therefore, to dedicate your college "commencement" to our beloved blog, as a re-commencement of your participation in one of the easiest ways we have to keep up with each other. I challenge you to keep Alex Toney riveted to his chair as he peruses your exploits with approval and fashions his comments to show maximum wittiness.

I look forward to reading about everyones stories, just as you look forward to reading my brutally honest, yet sufficiently loving, tomments.

most sincerely, your friend,

Thomas

I want to see LOLTomz.

Pictures of cats with Thomas's face, spouting brutal little sentiments.

Sentiments with comically poor grammar.
