Excuses...
Ahem...
I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn't have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
With that out of the way, I'm back. Well, as back as I'll ever be.
Where to start, where to start...
This last month has been a bit busier than I'm used to, though that is not by any means a bad thing. There have been parties - boy, have there been parties - there have been days at work that left me curled in the fetal position, cradling my RSI stricken wrists to my chest; there have been quiet times with friends and family, and there have been quiet times where everybody just left me the hell alone. Sometimes it's just necessary, even for someone as non-productive as myself, to unplug and let life rush by me with honking horns and raised fingers.
I've still been reading a fair deal (hey, you can only write shell scripts for so long), followed all of the Moxie vs. Moxie drama, whatched the juvenile spitting matches that the blogosphere is famous for, and generally kept up to date. I just couldn't bring myself to give a shit. Character flaw? Maybe. Maybe it's just due to the plethora of fine blogs out there saying everything I thought about typing, and saying it better.
I still don't have any clue where I'm going with this thing, after 16 months at the helm. I'm not sure I care anymore. Maybe I should heed Marlon Brando:
“We don’t go anywhere. Going somewhere is for squares. We just go.”Yeah, that seems like a fine idea.
Anyway, I'm going to follow Matt Moore's lead and try to post something every day. Whether I can hold that goal is uncertain, but it's worth a try. My rule about weekends still holds, but the least I can do is hit you up on the weekdays. At least, I think so...
Here we go again.

Actually, it really sucks. Quality is way down. Do what you like, dude.
Posted by: Matt Moore on June 18, 2003 10:18 PMMatt, you aren't drinking enough. Drink more and quality rises, completely unlike any other endeavor (except pool and bowling) in the world.
Posted by: zombyboy on June 18, 2003 11:03 PMYea, the late night drunken posts are the best. I really enjoyed that Frailty post (my favorite in months, really), and I'd had an amazing amount of scotch.

Shyeah, right.
So, boys, when's the next drink up?
Posted by: andy on June 19, 2003 12:15 AMI love coming here, simply because I feel like I've knocked down the door to the boys club house.
Alright, I've had enough, carry on. ;)
