Two reasons for that:
1) It's too early to tell
2) It probably isn't one; I've just always wanted to say that

I would wager that 65% of all blog posts are posts apologizing for the lack of posts, which means that they help alleviate their own raison d'etre but not by a lot.
At any rate, I'll add substance to this post by mentioning that I would favor a cruel and unusual punishment for anyone who takes up the whole sidewalk while walking, especially if they stop abruptly. I'm thinking that they should have to listen to "Party in the U.S.A." once or twice.
Okay, that's a bit excessive. It's good to be back.
Producer: Okay Britney, we need one more song and we've got ourselves an album. You got anything? Britney: You know, I was listening to the radio in the car and I had this genius idea. It's totally our first single. I wrote it down and this is going to change the game. Producer: W-Wait, really? Seriously? Well all right! Let's see what you've got. Britney: Ok. I'm thinking a pulsing, mid-tempo, edgy dance number... Producer: So far, so good... Britney: ...and it's kind of a kiss-off to a player... Producer: ...I'm liking it... Britney: ...and I think I'm gonna call it "Womanizer", which goes along with the whole robotic dance sound. It's this word that I heard the other day and it really stuck with me, and I think it could mean a lot for girls today who are tired of being played. Producer: Great!! Wow, this could be really something! Alright, step up to the mic and let's record some of this while it's still fresh! Britney: Okay, here goes. [Singing] "Womanizer, womanizer, you're a womanizer oh, womanizer, womanizer you're a womanizer baby you you you are, you you you are, womanizer, womanizer, he's a womanizer she's a womanizer we're all womanizers Bob's a womanizer womanizer baby oh womanizer womanizer toxic womanizer wo-..." Producer: Whoa Brit, whoa. Hang on a second. Britney: What's the problem? Bob the Custodian: Yeah, what's the problem? Producer: It's just... aren't you just singing the word "womanizer" over and over again? Like, are there other lyrics? Britney: There are other lyrics too! I just really like that word. Producer: All right I just... I just think that if you're going to have a hit chorus, you need more than the same word over and over and over again, no? Britney: Well I wasn't done yet, though! And I really think that today's girls will be able to identify with it. Producer: Okay well, I don't know. We're on a tight schedule. We need a hit song done in like ten minutes. Britney: Okay. Producer: You don't have any other songs? Britney: Well, I'm working on one that I think I'm going to call "1 2 3" or something and I'll namecheck beloved folk group Peter, Paul, and Mary as a euphamism for a threesome. Producer: Uhhhhh yeah okay we'll go with "Womanizer". Just throw the word "swagger" in there somewhere and we should be good.
Setting: Some time later, Scotland Alex Kapranos: Guys, let's cover this song. It'll be hilarious. Franz Ferdinand:
