Amigos,
I anticipate, with the approach of the spring recess, an opportunity to catch up on my true love of blogging. While We the People might be more informative, TDR is much more fun. Which may explain all of the problems that I outline in We the People.
Anyhow, while I still have one major assignment remaining this week before I am truly on break, I wanted to announce the start of an idea that has been brewing in the back of my mind for some time:

Yes, it is your chance to be the lucky author of a TDR blog post. We at The Daily Routine will be holding a contest for the remainder of the month of March. You, the attentive and faithful TDR reader that you are, must do your best to write an entertaining, humorous and informative (all the things I do so well) post about the topic of your choice, in a similar style of a typical TDR post. A few stipulations:
1. English required
2. No plagiarism
3. Please appreciate the effort it takes to find a topic and write such a post
4. Try to avoid previous posting topics
5. Hippies Use Side Door
6. Entries by members of known terrorist organizations will be considered void.
7. If your name is Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, your post will only be considered if you agree not to develop nuclear weapons.
8. Please, nothing about celebrities. Or Twitter. I hate Twitter.
9. Personal "Daily" list required. Feel free to add your own categories.
10. You don't talk about Fight Club
11. Red Right Returning
12. Bribes Accepted*
All entries are due by March 31st, 2010. The winner's post will be published and the winner shall receive a monetary prize equal to half of The Daily Routine's monthly income. Please submit entries to thedailyroutineonline@gmail.com.
*Bribes are no guarantee of winning the contest
