I'm not dead. I haven't been abducted by aliens,
kidnapped by ninjas, or sucked into a parallel universe, or anything like that.
I'm not suffering from a case of writer's block either (most surprising of all). Nope. This blog is still alive and well.
Well... as alive and well as blogs that don’t get posted to regularly go, I
guess.
Some of you will have noticed a sudden
lack of commenting from me as well. Okay, most of you probably wouldn’t have
noticed but either way. I’ve been MIA. Sure I took a day and looked some of you
up but that was basically a fluke. Not that I don’t want to come hang out with
you all. I do. I’ve just had stuff going on.
...And things...

| "ENOUGH WITH THE "STUFF 'N THANGS" ALREADY!!!" |
The reason I've been away from the old
blog here - and basically the internet in general - is because I’m stuck trying
to figure out a tough assignment for my current class and I’m devoting all of my focus towards it.
Simple as that. Actually, sort of
anticlimactic, to be honest.
I have to write an interview piece which
involves getting perspectives from various experts in the field of... sports...
Soccer (or football, as we know it here),
to be specific.
I know next to nothing about sports. If I've
never mentioned it before, I’m not a “sports” kind of guy. I don’t have to a
favorite team. I don’t have a favorite event. Well... maybe I'll watch a women's beach volleyball game or two but I have... reasons.
I know barely enough to fake my
way through a conversation about any type of sport so I usually just try to
avoid interaction with sporting aficionados
altogether. This means I have to do a lot of research on the game just to
figure out what I’m supposed to ask.
Then again I generally try to avoid interaction
with most types of people so I guess no one would really notice anyway.
So, basically, until I get this assignment
over and done with, I expect I’m going to be AWOL for a bit longer. Until then, you guys
just keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll catch up as soon as I’m done.
