First ever blogging strike goes unnoticed

It's been exactly 13 days since the Sean Bell acquittal or as I refer to it, "Black black guy day". You probably noticed that I haven't posted on this blog in the past two weeks. Most likely you assumed it was because I was too sad-- that the tears streaming from my face would find the cracks in my keyboard and fritz up my hard drive. Or maybe you thought I was too angry and that I would try typing by pounding my fists on the keyboard. For instance,"This is an outrage!" would be translated to the very illegible: "lkshde!sjkfbn%@kjgK&S!"
Well actually the reason I didn't blog was because I was attempting the world's first blogging strike. As it turns out, no one really cares when you go on a blogging strike. Go figure. So we had to think of other protests. Hunger-striking was out of the question due to my affinity for fine Italian cuisine. (Also for Southern, French, Ethiopian, Tex-Mex, Pan-Asian fusion and molecular-gastronomic food).
So we were in a bit of a protesting slump you could say. But then we thought of something ingenious. The most annoying protest in the world!
