So apparently any good faith return to blogging is begun with the same steps. We all are familiar. We’ve all been there. First the big “is this thing on?” post. It’s just tradition, right? Second there’s a big “I updated my blogging software, I’m more productive and happy here!” post. Am I right? Step 3…

Welll, kids I cannot and will not do Step 3. No promises. I have broken the number one promise I made to ME when this site started. I won’t even link to it. I’m ashamed. I was going to write here (read HERE, not Twitter) everyday. I have broken that a number of times now. Sure we’re on on our ninth year… OMFG NINE YEARS. !!!!!!!!!!!! Also I am not the inspiration. I am practicing in advance. One of best all time online friends may bring his blog back. So in rallying (copying) support I said that if he did I would too. It’s easier with a partner. Yes?

Anyhoo. That said I have song lyrics. I know I’ve posted them up in here before. I’m doing it again. Somehow if I do stick with this site another few years they seem… fitting. Odd. Yes. So am I and thats why 28 people still come back daily with no new posts. I love you guys. So here we go. Not A Virgin by Poe. A great song.

I’m not a virgin anymore

I just thought you should know
Darlin’ I’ve been around
I took a walk up your block
In fact I have been all over town
Down by the lake
And underneath the table in my living room
But side with the blue blue moon

You can call me what you will
Call me a slut call me a jaded pill
But darlin I’ve got your number now

I’m not a virgin anymore
I’ve been taken
I’ve been hung up
I get down and start it over again
I’ve been open
And I’ve been closed like a book
And burned down like a written sin
I just thought you should know my darling
Before we begin
I’m not a virgin anymore

Just thought you should know
Before you let another lie
Slip through those crooked little teeth
I don’t think you wanna start that shit with me

Much better yet
Tell me something dangerous and true
Oh yeah that looks much sexier on you

Careful what it is you say
‘Cause I can see right through you
On a cloudy day and darlin’ I think you wanna play
I’m not a virgin anymore
I’ve been taken
I’ve been hung up
I get down and start it over again
I’ve been open
And I’ve been closed like a book
And burned down like a written sin
I just thought you should know my darling
So if you wanna play dirty darling I’m gonna win
I’m not a virgin anymore

Been there done that
(Say what?)
Get the hang of it
Get screwed
I screw you I had a whole lot of fun with it
I’ve had enough now so you better take a bow
It’s gonna be a new experience if you wanna play with me

Daisy chains and maryjanes
Happy ending fairy tales
Cannot fool me now

I’ve been taken
I’ve been hung up
I get down and start it over again
I’ve been open
And I’ve been closed like a book
And burned down like a written sin

Hell I’ve been divided
Out of my mind and reinvented again
I’ve been ignited and then uninvited
So honey
You break it up
I’m gonna put it back together again

I just thought you should know my darling
Before we begin

I’m not a virgin anymore

I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Do you get the gist of the song now?

Hi kids, it’s me! I know it’s been a while. A long, long while. I think it was a good thing tho. I mean, the internet and I… well.. we needed time apart. I kept in touch on Twitter tho. I am an internet addict after all.

So where have I been. Hmm. Let’s say I have been on a journey of self improvement. No! Don’t say that. Sounds like I went to rehab for cry eye. Seriously tho, I have spent some time on me. I have hung out with my real-life friends, focused on work a bit more, and re-launched my fitness routine. Not to mention my cat, Versace. Hell, that princess could be a full time job on her own! I have also reconnected with an amazing person from my past. Just this past week actually. So life is good. Life is better even! (Isn’t funny how ya lose 15 pounds and your whole outlook just changes?) I may just have stuff to blog about again… Yayz!

Anyhoo. No promises about writing every day. And the spam has GOT TO BE SOLVED. Yes, I mean that in all caps!

Is this thing on?!?

A new version of EE is available! Am I in the mood for 1.6.8 today?

Hmmm….

Something is up. I have noticed it, Richard has noticed it. I am sure any remaining readers here have noticed it. My friends I chat with online have really felt the brunt of it.

I am just not spending much time online anymore.

Crazy! Right? OMG, who the hell would have ever seen the day coming where Daniel was not online *every day*. Dude. I used to BLOG *every day*. Now we are lucky to get a photo posted each month… I have changed. Is it for the better? I think so. I am focused on reality much more (not that my online life isn’t real, just not… you know). I think my relationship has improved. I have my first very own non-aquatic pet, which if you know me you know how huge that is. So I guess there are positive trade-offs in addition to the flip side. I miss some of you very much. I miss the excitement of comments. Comments! Such a simple thing, but way more exciting than an @reply on Twitter. Srsly, right? Gawd I miss comments…

Also, as much as I adore (ADORE, love, cherish, worship) my iPhone, it’s just not that conducive to blogging. It does audio well, but that is a major shift that I think needs to be done right on the blog-end… It’s not a podcast, which I am set up for. I dabbled heavily in the podcast world, but it wasn’t my gig. When all was said and done I frankly didn’t have the attention span for it. I liked doing it, the tech was fun. I just don’t have time to listen to them all to be part of the “whole thing”. So there would need to be retooling to make ME interested. I know y’all are Feed Readers at this point. I am the one who needs pretty. Yay! Pretty!

What is this whole post about? I am not sure. I guess it’s another “I’m still here, are you?” type posts. I am not giving up. I just need to reinvent myself.

Like Madonna.

Look. It’s my blog! OoOoOooo…. Sometimes I forget I have it. I swear someday I am going to ditch that time-suck Twitter and come home to this here blog. I’ll do it too! Just not today.

Something about that Twitter fascinates me, tho I do hate how my particular “twitterfeed” is like 99% chat room. I remember the Old Days (yes I have been tweeting since like the first week or something so I get to say Old Days) someone would always call out the chatters and tell them to “get on AIM! This isn’t a chat-room!” I don’t really want to be that guy… Plus it is semi-interesting reading in that voyeuristic way, when I am not annoyed with it. What happened to the “What are you doing?” angle? Now it’s all “@ @ @ @” conversations and you have to scroll around all crazy to keep up. *sigh* Plus I have seen more nudie self-twitpics than I can shake a stick at! Not that that’s always a good thing. LOL. So I guess there are plusses and minuses. Still part of me wants to do away with it like I did the Plurk.

Anyhoo. So do you realize the year is nearly half over already? It is! Ask anyone you know working Retail. If that person in your life is me, let me just tell you then. Backpacks are landing people. Backpacks! That means Back to School. After that it’s all downhill till holiday. [insert cries of pain here] So get your shopping list together and plan that holiday Ham… Have I instilled panic? Heh. So where was this paragraph going? Oh yeah. Time flies when you aren’t blogging. I have been super busy with work. Plus our time off has been pleasantly filled with friends and time with my man. Last week we went to the big San Diego Zoo to check out the new Elephant Odyssey the have been building up in there. It was nice, but immature yet. Animals were still in the “acclimation” stages and weren’t as visible as normal. The big cats weren’t yet moved in. But otherwise super well done. My favorite part will always be Monkey Trails tho. Monkeys rule yo.

So yeah. Still alive and junk. Trying to figure out a balance between online life and real life and my cat. (Inside joke, the cat part. Kinda) If you get anything out of this post, it’s the part in this next sentence: If you think I am ignoring you, I am not. I am just in a weird place right now.

Dudes. I am so blog-tired. I have spent the day working on a new blogging side project. It’s something I am totally excited about, but after today I am losing momentum. My fault. I should have been working on it all weekend, but being that I am sick AND had to work, I frankly didn’t have the energy. So I had to write 3 posts today. And deal with the Day One Frustration that any new project might have. *sigh* I just hope everything starts to make sense and that it becomes the really fun endeavor that it’s supposed to be. It’ll launch soon so wait for more details on that…

As for tonight, it’s my turn to cook. Ugh. So I decided to save myself a trip to the store. So I decided to doctor up last night’s leftovers, Chicken Fajitas.

I took a Boboli crust, spread it with refried beans (thinned with sour cream), and salsa. Then I spooned the Fajitas mixture over that, topped with pepper jack cheese and baked at 350 for 25 minutes. Tasty!

Hello. Is this thing back on?

Hellooo?

So today, since I am kinda still stuck at home, I got all industrious and updated the CMS that brings all the dp.com goodies to you. I think it went well, even though I was like three versions behind. However, if you see anything wonky please be a dear and let me know.

*air kisses*
