The Bracelet Heir (and polls)

Say hello to Zack Funke, my editor and friend. This is the bracelet heir.

If you have read my earlier posts (esp. Last Will and Testament) you will have known vaguely about this shady character. But here he is now, clear as a bell. We both go to the same school and share many of the same subjects together. We are very much alike in our interests.

Me and him were in the same class in kindergarten, and we've known each other ever since. We both spent nine years at the same school, St. Mary's. It seems Zack's always been there, whether or not I wished it. Even when I started ridiculous schemes, he was there laughing and playing along. Like starting my own country. Or planning a all-out invasion of the seventh grade. Or writing a blog.

This last year though we have become somewhat closer to each other. Something about high school picked us out and recognized that we were alike, so it paired us together. We share three classes together - English & speech (same teacher) and Conceptual Physics. So just like the years before, he's always there, playing along.

Zack is very bright and has made straight A's for most his life. I'd probably have his grades, but I don't study or finish homework diligently. Oh well. You can't have everything in this life, but I think with Zack there's a good balance. He's smart, athletic, social, and quirky. I think that over the years I've inspired in him something I've always had: a joy in the randomness of things.

So now we've got a nice little duo here. Joe & Zack. The inspiration and the brains. The hand and the pen. Better watch out, blogging world. Because two heads is better than one. Hopefully I can get him to write a blurb sometime next week. We'll see how things work out.

Now, before I close on a good note, I'd like to ruin the moment by telling everyone about how the polls scored. Last week I set up a poll that asked, "If I put a poll on my blog, would anybody vote in it?" The replies were 1. Yeah, I would. 2. No... 3. This is a retarded question and I refuse to answer it. Here's the results! Drum roll please!
1. Yeah, I would 5 votes-62%
2. No 0 votes-0%
3. This is a retarded question and I refuse to answer it 3 votes-37%

I will now hold a poll on advertising. This is an important one; be sure to vote.
