Selling Out For Nothing
The sound of jeering and boos could be heard across this great land of ours when it was discovered that I removed the contents of my post "Finally... Proof That God Exists". Here is the story...
On Friday, a day after the infamous post, I accidently replied to an email from my Dad and forget to delete the link to this site in my signature. He knew I had a site, but didn't read it as far as I knew. Well, he read it on Friday, and questioned my judgement regarding the topic of the 'God Exists' post. I replied back that, in fact, my wife does not read this site, specifically because she doesn't want me to feel censored. Okay, case closed, right? Try again.
I continued to dwell on the issue until I decided to tell her about the post, and the topic, and my Dad's email. She replied that she didn't care, and she doesn't read the site (just like I said). However, I continued to ruminate about it. I kept thinking that if she wrote something like what I wrote, I'd be very upset. On the other hand, if I censor myself, then I'd be at risk of writing watered down trash. And I kept thinking of people who don't censor themselves, and put their lives on the line: Howard Stern, Chris Rock, John Lennon, Larry David, etc...
Then I realized the truth of the matter: I'm living in a fantasy world. I'm not any of those above people. No one gives a shit. If I think that hampering my creativity by occasionally thinking about the feelings of my family is a serious problem then I'd have to be seriously delusional. The "world" doesn't care about my various personal rants, but my family could potentially care. And I'm certainly not making a living of this stuff, so really there is very little justification for going overboard with personal revelations.
Maybe its selling out. But I don't think anyone cares.

Finally... Proof That God Exists!
Alas... this secret will have to remain with me and those few readers that happened to catch this post before it was removed. More on that story next time folks.

What's That Smell?
So why haven't I been updating?
Basically I've been mentally and/or physically exhausted lately. Consequently, I was totally unable (and unwilling) to write anything. Everything has been crazy. Babies, stepson, houses... it is sometimes so much to deal with that my ability to write or comment completely eludes me.
I think I'm back. I have a doozy of a post ready too.
Word up.
