Catcher of Flak
So I recently have been catching some flak for not updating this site enough. And yes, I know, I know, I've fallen into the bad habit of never updating. And boo hoo for you. But to be fair, I do spend my creative energy when not doing my new job or unpacking or performing various other marital obligations (wink wink) updating another site, Boiled Sports. However, that's just me (and two other dudes) spouting sports opinions. And I know those who come here do so to read up on my life. Because it's just soooooo interesting.
And the funny thing is, I was emailing with NicHul, one of my few loyal readers recently, and I realized that she doesn't know much about what's been going on because I haven't posted much. And Xtrosity is in the same boat. Me not posting means my friends actually have to talk to me and, honestly, who wants to do that?
So, you'll see below that if you haven't visited recently, there's a lot of new material up. The truth is, I file stuff away and begin many posts and just never get them out of draft mode. So I finished a few and pledge to you to continue to do so. You'll get some time from me several times a week going forward. In fact, I'm even thinking of making February my post-a-day month. I've been wanting to do this for a while -- years now, even -- where I just pick a month and make sure I post every single day, mainly just to see if I can do it. And February is usually the month I want to do because it's the shortest month on the calendar.
The problem is, my life isn't interesting enough to write about every single damn day. But still, I've got things to ramble about and stories to tell and so I think I'm going to do it. And then you'll see just how boring this thing can get. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Of course, the other thing to realize is that those few who do read this are simply doing so to pass time at work and when that's why you're surfing the Internet, a good test pattern will entertain you. So maybe my drivel can pass for a test pattern. We'll see, I guess.
I'm back, bitches.

Sabbatical is Over, Bitches
Yes, I took a month off from my personal blogsite/lifejournal/shrink-alternative. And I didn't tell you about it. I'm a bad, bad host. So be it. Of course, for the three people who regularly read this site, I think you were all present at the glorious event last month that caused me to unplug from this and plug into something (someone) else.I got married a few weeks ago and then spent eleven glorious days in the fiftieth state (that's Hawaii, for those of you who didn't pay attention in Social Studies). We then flew back directly to Maryland for another wedding in which I got to be a handsome groomsman. We're now back in the motherland and in the process of moving my wife into my teeny, tiny house. Since she's not completely moved in yet, she has had spend a couple of nights at her old apartment without me so she can make the most of her time packing. So there have been a couple of days of feeling like we're back in the dating phase, talking on the phone at night and going to bed without each other. I don't especially like this, although I can watch the 2 AM Sportscenter at any volume I choose (or, in last night's case, a WWII kamikazee show on the History Channel) and not worry about disturbing anyone. I can also pass gas and scratch my balls as liberally as I choose. Oh, wait, I'm married now. I can do those things anyway. And she still has to have sex with me. By law, or something.
So yeah, I'm back. And I hope to be back on the more regular posting schedule. We even may be investing in a new home computer so when you couple that with my current state of serious insomnia, you might have more posts that you could ever want to read. Of course, one post from me could be more than you'd ever want to read, too, but that's neither here nor there.
