An Official Break
I don't know that I can say I've thrown away more stuff than I've published for this blog, but there's been quite a bit of it. You may not believe it from the quality- yet... But moreso now than in the beginning, when the idea was to just run off at the mouth until something intelligible came out, I throw away much more than gets to the public pixel stage. And I think that's a good thing. For the both of us.
Thing is, I just ain't that fast, or as confident of shooting from the hip as I used to be. I look at the embarrassment that is Andrew Sullivan, who I thought was the bee's knees back in the day, and thank God that I haven't codified my internal contradictions for whatever eternity the web will embrace. Of course he still makes a pile of money and has lots of readers and I don't. Whatever.
I will continue to write, though I won't even pretend anymore that it will be enough to qualify this thing here as a blog. Yeah, I have a lot to say, but it just isn't that Godamned important (or umportant, as I just misspelled the word) to get it out there for everyone to see. And by everyone I mean all six of you.
So, I'll be changing around the site a bit to a more traditional type of Home Page thing, once I find someone to actually do the work. I bought space on a second server to move my site just over a year ago (I know because I just paid the bill again), and that never happened. I think I'm two years behind on my current server, but they never send me a bill, and this thing keeps on going. (If you're reading this, and it's not more than six months old, consider this a request for expertise.)
I'm back in Costa Rica, which now feels as much like home as anyplace I've ever been, which ain't saying much, and dealing with my new and improved problems. I'll be scouting locations in Brazil for the holidays, before I forget that it just stopped raining here after 8 months, and see if I want to try and wrap my head around yet another language.
So if you don't see anything here for a while, I ain't dead, just resting, and hopefully when I return it will be worthwhile. And drop me a line if you're going to be in town.
