Happy Holidays

Hi.

Sorry about my much-longer-than-expected absence. I've been (and continue to be) busy and distracted and a little bit writers blocked. There probably won't be much here until Januaryish.

I do have things to say, but I'm having trouble getting them down in writing. This happens to me sometimes.

In the mean time, here's another gem from xkcd:

Talk about an elaborate comments link section, that extra click made it seem like forever! I've got news Joel, January is almost done, and you said "Januaryish". Meaning you've only got a couple days to produce some gold here. Better get on it! Writers block nothing! DO IT!

Do you ever have readers demand posts?

I'm working on it. There's a good chance I'll make the deadline.

Although really, the first part of February (a generous person might even say all of February) probably still counts as "Januaryish".

I haven't had a great deal of reader demand for posts in the past, but I'm considering taking things in a new direction. This blog may be headed for a more interactive future.

Or no future at all. Who can say?

Love the bunny pic.

Don't taint my favorite month with the disgusting overlap of January. There's a reason "January" is in that "Januaryish", it only belongs in the dirty month of January. Don't you dare post in February and say, see "Januaryish". As you can see, I am not a kind, nor generous dictator of the blogosphere. I wield my power with great wrath and hardships befalling everyone I come in contact with!

What kind of direction? One that caters to a more MTV style generation? Or perhaps pet lovers? (By the way, you know either of those directions would bring up the Ian Shorten readership). Pretty interested.

No future? Aren't you going to join in the blog revolution? You're one of the old greats, help us bring it back and fight off the evil Facebook (P.S. Delete that shit, it will ruin your ability to communicate properly with people, or put in the proper amount of effort into a friendship).

Bunny pic? What the hell. That is no "Bunny pic". That's ART man. I'm now into "ART" like, hardcore. So don't be calling the ART I put on my wall "Bunny pics" sir. Luke would be very angry with you (Like he is with me when I forget how to spell his full name).

Well, it looks like it'll be February. I had some time to post last night, but instead I watched like six episodes of House.

It's true that I'm one of the old greats of blogging. But I wonder if it's time to pass the torch. I just don't have the passion I once had.

My sincere apologies for the lack of respect I showed the ART. And a less sincere, somewhat perfunctory apology for calling associating February with January.

I never really thought of you as a Valentines Day guy.

JAcob thats a great name, how the searching, I read the last comment guess its over you look like you like to get drunk is that in the bible

Jacob said...

I wouldn't say the searching is over, but it's definitely slowed.

To my knowledge there's no mention of my personal feelings about drunkenness in the Bible.
