Summer Break

Thursday, May 15, 2008 | comments (12)
Summer is coming, and I'm going away for a little bit. There are a few projects I need to attend to, and even though I've always been of the mindset that I really should be able to do this blog and these other things at the same time, lately this philosophy hasn't been panning out too well.

So I'm going to take this off of my plate and put my energy into these other things for a while. But this isn't a "retirement" message or anything dramatic like that. I still enjoy the hell out of this thing, and I'll definitely be back. I'm just not sure when. Maybe a month or two, maybe all summer. Certainly not longer than that, I hope.

Anyway, I hope you keep me in your reader. And I'll see you when break is over. I'll miss hanging out during lunch. And smoking in the parking lot during Photography. And ... oh, oh! ... I almost forgot ... will you sign my yearbook? Thanks! You're so cool!

Well, dang, I will miss you, but I know the need to take some time off all too well. Get some shit done and come back soon!

Man! OK, I should not give you any grief, so, go be productive and creative elsewhere and have a blast with your summer!! Nicolasix will be missed, but at least we have archives...

2-gether, 4-ever!

I'll miss you, but the fall will be awesome, dude!

Don't stay away too long, OK? We, your readers, really love looking at the view from inside your head.

Take good care!

Thanks, ya'll. I think I'll most likely be back sooner than I think. Because it kind of gets in your blood, this thing. Hopefully I can channel it for some other things.

Reya: It's funny ... one of my goals is to get OUT of my head. ;-)

This makes me sad, but I hope it makes you happy...

If by "happy" you mean "completely angst-ridden," then yeah, I think this will do the trick nicely.

Just catching up with my own favorite blog reading, only to find this!

Everyone needs a break every now and then. So, yes, go forth and tackle other projects, write, relax, read and, soon enough, you'll be back.

Have fun!

One way to relax after a Sunday afternoon herding leaves is to have a couple of beers and sit on the couch with your hand under your belt and watch some football and feel good and fine and strong--and downright brawny, damnit, like the guy on the paper towel rolls--for having worked hard and for having cuts on your hands and dirt under your nails and an easy sort of pain in your muscles.

The weird part wasn't that Honey, you know ... spoke. It was that she spoke with an English accent. It wasn't exactly a proper, "Received English" kind of English, but it wasn't quite an East End of London, Cockney type of thing, either. It reminded me of the Beatles. She had a sort of nasal thing going on. Like John.

Lately my taste for "short" has dwindled down to one-sentence powerhouses. They're short and sweet, but they really pack a punch. The great thing about these little text candies is they can be consumed in an instant, while you go about your daily routines. The other day, for instance, I was brushing my teeth and came across this little gem.

I always hoped I'd be saying this under different circumstances, but ... I am completely in Your hands. And since we're still in the lingering twilight hours of Web 2.0, and user-generated content is apparently all the rage, why don't You leave a comment and at the same time satisfy my narcissistic curiosities by answering the same question I posed to Mat: Is there a difference between the "Blog Me" and the "Live and In Person Me?"
