So it's a new year which means a clean slate and a chance to start over and all that shit. Of course, every day is a clean slate and a chance to start over, but January 1 always seems like the logical place to do these things. And, as you can see I've made the promised changes here at the old blog.
The first change was the name. I was the Cynical Bastard long enough. Almost five years in fact. Seriously, that's long enough. Besides, that blog name was originally supposed to be on a blog that posted mostly about shitty political and sports pundits and stuff like that. I've branched out into other things and for whatever reason the blog name felt restrictive. So, it was time for it to go.
I chose Every Day Jay because that's the name of my Tumblr. And because I like it. Now, I just need to change my Twitter account to so that I can be Every Day Jay everywhere. You know, branding is important in social media. I learned that from the mommy bloggers and they're experts on this type of thing.
Also, as you can see I changed up the sidebar. I got rid of that silly followers thing because, well because it was silly. I never used it for anything and never really paid any attention to it. It was just taking up cyberspace. I also had to do something about the links to my other areas of social media dominance. It really bugged me that they were all different sizes and colors before. So, I made my own little buttons. Now they're all the same color and same size. So normal! The big decision was whether they should be blue or black with white text. I finally settled on blue and I like it!
I also got rid of the “For a Good Time” buttons because most of them led to defunct or soon to be defunct sites and again, they were all different sizes and colors and shit. Same goes for the “Blogging With Intoxicants” button that I had for so long. I decided to dump it since it basically was designed as a way to mock mommy bloggers over some big drama they were all embroiled in last year. But, don't worry. I still expect to continue to do my fair share of intoxicated blogging.
So, now that I've got my blog house all looking pretty and arranged the way I want it, all I have to do is come up with blogging material. Which hasn't been all that easy lately. Oh well, we'll see how it works out.

So how 'bout we start the year out with some Predictions for 2011?
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow will announce that she and Bristol Palin are engaged and that Rachel is pregnant through artificial insemination with John McCain's baby, WHICH she will abort.
Lindsay Lohan will announce that she has sworn off drugs and has become a born again Christian and has bee “cured” of her lesbianism. Then, she will be hired by Fox News and Entertainment and Culture Reporter.
Christine O'Donnell will introduce a new line of sex toys and a masturbation how-to video.
Blog Talk Radio will go under.
Miley Cyrus and I will announce our engagement, but then call it off when she catches me with newly single Scarlett Johannson. But, then we'll get back together after she admits that no man would ever pass up a chance at Scarlett.
A prominent NFL Quarterback, who plays in the Northeast and has beautiful hair will be arrested in a public restroom after he asks an undercover cop if he would like “a little helmet-to-helmet contact.”
A Mommy Blogger will start a new blog and tell everyone that it's just a creative outlet for her and she doesn't care how many page hits or comments she gets and isn't looking to become “internet famous” and get free shit and actually mean it. (Okay, so this prediction is a little crazy.)
And that's pretty much all I've got. It's gonna be a slow year.
