Catching up with St. Hubbins

When last we left Carsenio St. Hubbins in September of last year, he was plotting the extermination of all pigeons in an effort to have a shinier car. He can hardly believe it has been nearly a year since he last posted his thoughts on this page. When reminded of his lack of posting on this blog, Carsenio very nearly said "shame on me" but then he remembered he doesn't believe in shame.
Getting back to the Shiny Car Initiative, St. Hubbins has not pursued any of his plans for pigeon eradication. He may one day move forward with his scheme, but for now he is going to put it on the back burner. Rather, he has opted to brief us with a list of what he has been doing the past several months:

• Finally got those snow tires! (August 2010)
  
• The song was well received which prompted me to rock out hardcore!!!!!!! (August 2010)

As you can see, St. Hubbins has been a busy man! With all the rocking out hardcore, it is easy to see why he couldn't kill any pigeons. As Carsenio St. Hubbins now says, "Why worry about shiny cars when you can rock out hardcore while being in love?" Truly St. Hubbins is growing up; is the world ready?
