Just a Message to Readers

Hey Everybody,

Sorry about my absence for the last month. It’s just, I sit down to record all this death and destruction and, as the last write-up in my last post kind of alludes to, with the over-abundance of all-caps meltdowns, it’s draining. I sit down to scare up another batch of stories and it just seems so distasteful to me. Not in a judgy way — more of an overblown “don’t wanna” way. Also kind of a lazy way.

It’s been about a year I’ve been doing this and, although I’ve spent my life considering myself a writer, this is definitely the most writing I’ve ever done. And I consider it to be a warm-up, something I should be able to take under my wing as a side gig. Well, the analogy I make is that of a farmer. For me, personally, it’s all I can do to go out and water. The farmer, on the other hand, really works, day in and day out, and brings home the crops. I’ve got to be a bit more on the farming tip, I think.

Anyway, all that being said, I’m going on vacation. I’m not sure if I’m even going to bring my laptop with me, although I reckon I might. I’ve definitely missed a couple big stories over this last month. Chris Cuomo’s name has come up, lol. I’m sure my readers are aware of his recent admission to being harmed by the covid shots.

Anyway, I don’t want to drone on too long. This note is just to let you guys know what I’ve been doing (nothing) and what I plan to do (more). I really do have faith in this little project, although I must say I always pictured this as a data-driven endeavor, and I feel like I’m supposed to be mining but am instead picking up pebbles. But it’s the pebbles we’re mining for, I suppose. And there’s some real gems out there.

Anyway, I’m not giving up. I haven’t left. But I am going on vacation starting tomorrow, so I wanted to get this note out before that.

Much love to all. Hang in there. These are absolutely wild times we’re living in.

Cheers
