sean combs changes name again

it's just diddy now, okay? i was going to write an elaborate paragraph about how he was going to shorten diddy to just "did" next year, making him the first musician to use a past-tense verb for their name, but what happened along the way was funnier than that.

i couldn't figure out what article of speech "did" was. my first guess was verb, but that seeemed too easy, so i thought maybe it was an adverb. then i realized i didn't know exactly what an adverb was. moreover, i wasn't sure if "did" was plain old past-tense or past-perfect, and then i realized i didn't know what past-perfect meant either, which means that if i ever came across a past-perfect adverb, i wouldn't know it.

i started researching it, but then i noticed that the information i was seeking was appropriate curriculum for 7th grade english, and that was too just depressing to continue. i suppose years of sketch and web writing has eroded my grammar skills to bedrock, with my reliance on calculators giving me math skills to match. i had been considering going back to cmu and finishing my hisotry degree, but it would appear that a quick stop at middle school would be required first. huzzah to public education!
