People smarter than me have calculated that there are more than one billion websites and almost five billion web pages in existence. With so much information available, we’re left with a most basic question: which of those pages are the best, and, thus, worth my time?I can’t comment on all five billion web pages. But I can comment on one. This very page that you’re reading right now. It’s a blog. It’s called Dry it in the Water. It’s hosted by ChicagoNow.And, just in case you’re not familiar: It. Is. Awesome.In fact, the only thing awesomer (yes, it’s a word!) than this blog is you. Yes, you, Dear Reader. I’m talking to you.Because I know how awesome you are, and I know how awesome this blog is, I want to make sure the two of you unite. Yes, you’ve found your way here this time, but what about next time, And what about the previous 272 posts that have appeared here? Did you read all of those?No? What do you mean “no?” You missed a few? You overlooked others? There are some that you meant to come back to, but then forgot about?If only there were a way that you could be sure not to miss any of these posts. Gosh, with the internet being so fancy, you’d think someone would have figured out how to do that.Well, Dear Reader, it’s your lucky day. (And mine, too!) Because if you subscribe by e-mail to this blog, you’ll never miss a post. Every single damn time that I write a post you’ll get an e-mail that says, “That Dry it in the Water dude is thinking again. Click here to read what he’s thinking about.”But perhaps you’re new to the blog, and you’re not convinced that you should subscribe. Maybe you think I’m going on too long, and you’re about to give up on this post, let alone any posts in the future.Let me tell you, Dear Reader, you do so at your peril. I mean, just look at the topics that will be covered in the coming days and weeks:How to eat leftover pizzaThe contents of my carWhy don’t politicians have beards?Murder by PhoneHow did I become a reader?And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Ideas flow into the wasteland of my brain at a constant rate, so I’ll be writing for quite some time. This thing’s just about to take off, so there’s still room for you to get in on the ground floor. Subscribe before it’s the cool thing to do.Then, after you subscribe, visit the archive and read some of the cool stuff I’ve already written. You can find posts about:An invention that lets women pee standing up (which, incidentally, is the most-read post on this blog)How to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwichPenis sizeDumb ParentsThe 939 Saturdays of ChildhoodGunsBeing a VeganThe SybarisResting bitch faceAnd 263 more. If you haven’t read them, do so! They’re good, I promise. (Well, most of them are good. There are three really crappy ones mixed in. When you find them, e-mail me and tell me about it.)Yes, you might see the posts on my Brett Baker Writes Facebook page. However, Facebook can show those posts to as few as 2% of the people who like a page, so it’s likely you won’t see the posts on that page.You might also find my posts through Google. But that’s assuming that you’re looking for what I’m writing about. That’s not always the case though. Sometimes I’m writing about stuff you didn’t even know you wanted to know, and then after I write about it, you’re like, “Yeah, he’s right.”Like HGTV. I dare you to read that post and find one thing with which you disagree. Even though you hadn’t thought about any of it, you know I’m right.So here’s the deal. You don’t want to miss any of my posts. You probably already have an e-mail account. So subscribe to this blog by e-mail. Do it now! It costs nothing. We don’t sell your e-mail address. We won’t send you any junk. And you can unsubscribe anytime. (Although you’ll never want to.)And if that’s not enough to convince you, keep in mind that if I ever give away a million dollars, I’m going to do it through my mailing list. I’d hate for you to miss out.Subscribe below.And thanks for reading!IF YOU LIKED THIS POST I BET YOU'LL ALSO LIKE: How Did I get to 100 Posts?
