Hey folks.

Sorry I haven’t written anything here in a while, but I think you know why: Brit and Kev broke up. I’ve been sulking around for a few months or so, unable to put words to paper (or in this case, screen) because of my grief.

Ok, I’m just kidding, that’s not it. The real reason is that I haven’t seen the value lately. Since August, I’ve been writing for pay (as I’ve always wanted to), and writing here for free just seems so… last year. There’s no value to it. Why spend time putting down words here when I can put down the same number of words somewhere else and get paid for it?

But lately I’ve realized that’s not quite true. There is value in this site. But it’s just not to me.

Lots of people have asked me to write things here. Friends and family all over the country have said they liked reading my stuff and were disappointed when it slowed down. And now, even people I don’t know have found this place and sent me a note asking why I don’t update it any more. None of the sites I’ve ever worked on have been about me, really– this site is mine, but it was about jokes and stuff, not my actual life. So I guess the value is in sharing what I’m doing and what I’m up to with other people.

Frankly, I’m kind of surprised anyone cares (don’t worry– not that many people care, so you’re still in an exclusive minority). So for you, dear readers, I’ll do what I can to post news here when I do something interesting. I guess it’s the least I can do for being terrible at keeping in touch with everyone I’ve ever known. For you, I’ll try.

And, in a feeble attempt to make the wait worth it, I recently uncovered this. It’s a short film some friends of mine put together like years ago. I held the mic (or adjusted the sound levels, or plugged things in, or did something with sound– I can’t remember) during the outside parts. And if you watch fast, you can even see me, right in the beginning when all the merchandise shows up. Yup, I’m the big weird looking dude who gets covered up by a mug.
