Next chapter

Would you believe the case of writer's block?

A dude like me who always had something funny to say suddenly went quiet for what seems like several years. 

Oh sure, I started drafts. I wrote one liners and messaged them to friends. I even kept writing funny songs. But writing a good ol blog post like my olden days seems like a talent I suddenly lacked. A ready and waiting creative outlet just plum wasted. 

Sometimes I don't recognize that guy who used to write those crazy, hilarious articles. Other times, I feel like him again. But the truth is, I'm a different man. For one, I've had an on-again-off-again relationship with my beard (and I hardly recognize the ever-changing face to shave in the mornings). For another, I've put on 20 pounds, then lost 6 (I used to be so skinny, I'd wear a hat and look like a pair of shoes was flying a kite). My online friends hangout has changed a lot (heyo, Baby Sister, Grasshopper, Greg, and Philip ain't heard from you nor Waltereon). And the biggest news of all:
I found a girl who'll put up with me!  Yes, I've put all my ugly-and-single jokes to rest and have dusted off the stash of ugly-and-taken jokes that I've been stockpiling just for this occasion. Maybe I'll introduce my girlfriend in a future post. She's amazing and deserves more than a small reference in a long paragraph. 

This blog was birthed in the wee hours of a sleepless morning and I see no reason why it can't be revived the same way. I believe this crazy brain has a few more wisecracking remarks to make. 

Are you still interested in reading as I achieve my dreams and strain my imagination? I wanna hear from you. Who's still reading?
