Yes. I have been absent for several months. Let me assure you that this has nothing to do with federal prosecutors or South American dictators. For personal reasons, I have removed myself from the public spotlight (okay... public flashlight) and refrained from posting--particularly in the political categories of this blog.

Currently, most of my writing and creativity is going into work. Since the things I'm doing there actually pay the bills, they have to take precedence. I'm encouraged, however, by the fact that several respected professionals in marketing, advertising, and production have been impressed with the work I'm doing. I've never had any formal training in web design, marketing, or advertising, so even in a relatively small market like Madison, getting compliments feels really good.

I loved you, but had to leave. I found you again but you wouldn't accept my friendship.

Good bye.

I loved you but knew that you had to leave me to become what you could be. Your attempt at reconnecting scared you away.

Good bye.

I love you, but you only understand sex and I wouldn't fuck you.

Good bye.

I love you, but you're afraid of the world and need to run away.

Good bye.

There are enough real dragons in my life, I don't need any windmills.
