Check one… Hello again; it’s me.

Before I get started, one caveat: Don’t give me any shit. I know I’ve been offline for a few months (an eternity by net standards) but believe me, I needed it. In short, I had a great time not writing about my life. At a point, however, it became frustrating when I wanted to express an opinion and my site was down.

And that brings us to now. You like?

Don’t get too attached to the banner; I’m not feeling it. Feels like I’m at a Titan fan page (although that could have some benefits). I’m still playing around with some ideas. I updated most of the auxiliary pages but I still have some tweaking to do. Gimme a minute on that. Plus there are some other things that I will reveal shortly (for real, this time). Why should I hit ‘em with the Hee all at once, right? Let’s see… Oh, you may be interested in my 100 Things page - it was friggin’ murder to complete. You can click on the grey text at the end of the post to comment and trackback. In fact, can you trackback this post so I can see if it works? Thanks. You’re a doll.

But what you really want to know is what I did I do while I was gone, right? You want details on my new focus and new life, don’t you? Well, you’ll have to wait and read as it happens. As an overview, I present:

What I Did On My Blogging Vacation
by j. brotherlove

  • Stressed out organizing this year’s Tropico party at DIC

  • Reconnected with friends

  • Fell in love, again

  • Experienced Larry Heard spin

  • Lurked on a number of weblogs

  • Visited Chicago

  • Designed a website

  • Realized how weird bloggers can be offline

  • Missed out on school due to financial woes
  • There’s more, of course. But just like my older archives, you had to be there.

    Big ups to all of the folks who checked in on me and nagged encouraged me to return to thebrotherlove.com. Of course, there was no real danger in me staying away. I’ve been writing online in some capacity for 8 years - this ain’t no passing fad for thebrotherlove. Blog. Schmog. This is my shit.

    So, what’s the T, sweeties?
