I don't know if you know this, but writing these rant thingies is hard. Coming up with topics, expanding on them, trying to sound smart and/or funny... gosh, it can really take its toll on a guy. I've written over 200 of these darn things, and I'm about to run dry. It's bad enough when I have a cramp in the What To Draw Department, and that's not even a necessary weekly contribution! When I started this site in 2003, I was simply brimming with ideas. Brimming, I say! I was so over flowing with stuff to talk about that I decided every update would have a new one. How silly of me. Even someone like me who is seemingly bottomless with the creativity sometimes. Yeah, that's difficult front to maintain. Left and right it's always "hey, will, you're an artist, right?" or "we could really use someone with your creativity to help out on our project" and then I went put a similar request upon myself. It's bad enough when other people do it and I can't say no to them. How do I say no to myself?

So hopefully before this turns into me writing about how I don't have anything to write about, I've got kind of a request/proposition for any and all of you out there in the interweb ether who read this. For the week this post is up on the main page, if any of you readers have any rant ideas, subjects you'd like the ol' William take on, know what my opinion on something is and why it be, send them to me. If you have a question you'd like answered, send those in, too. Just about anything, really. You can ask me crazy, insane stuff if you want. I can't promise I'll be accurate, but maybe it'll be fun. You can ask "why is Thursday" or "when is purple" and I'll come up with something. If I've ever said something that sounded weird and you want clarification, go ahead. The ONLY major restriction I'm going to put on this open invitation is personal stuff about me. If you want to know my name and address, I'm not going to tell you. Maybe I'll tell you something, but it won't be for realsies.

I've never done anything like this before, obviously, so I can't promise that I'll even HAVE an answer for everything that comes through, but I'll try. Also, depending on how it goes, I'm not sure if I'll just dedicate my next week's post to all of the answers at once or if I get some really good ones, do them one long post at a time over the coming weeks. We'll see. Of course, it is entirely possible that no one will ask anything of me at all, in which case I shall cry and cry and cry and go all emo and produce some awful goth poetry about how nobody loves me. Wow, I hope that doesn't mean you'll NOT ask me stuff just out of morbid curiosity over my goth poetry skills. Trust me, it'd be ugly. So, if you've got something to ask, or subject you'd like to hear ranted upon, go ahead and suggest it in the comment place below, or slide me an e-mail. You can submit as many as you like over this next week. Believe me, the more the better, please. Thanks a bunch, you crazy kids!

William (Brought to you by contributions from viewers like you. Thank you.)
