I am sorry I let this happen to you. You used to be a place for me to talk\/vent about things going on with me. Now you are just a collection of random distractions from my ever escalating sour moods.<\/p>\n<p>I think it all really started back in February\/March when I got pissed (and I mean royally pissed) at someone and I didn&#8217;t vent properly. I internalized most of that anger and didn&#8217;t let you be my outlet for it. I thought &#8220;I could be really nasty about this and if I write it here then it will get back to so-and-so and all hell will break loose.&#8221; That was probably the wrong move. I generally have never been really shy about talking about folks I know here. I think that bit of self-censorship has made it easier to push aside other things and events I would normally have posted about. Hell, I have even seriously toyed with the idea of killing you all together when your hosting plan runs out. But, deep down, I really don&#8217;t want to do that. I like you too much.<\/p>\n<p>So, from now on &#8230; when things are good, I&#8217;ll post about what&#8217;s making me happy. When things really suck, I will post about just why they suck.<\/p>\n<p>Call it &#8220;Back to Blogging: 2006!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>See you soon.<\/p>\n<p>Love,<br \/>\nChas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, &#8216;lil website &#8216;o mine.
