Good Evening Crickets…

It’s been a while since I’ve last checked in… because the task that I’ve been working on all week kept putting my brain into autopilot mode to the point where… by the end of the day… I can’t even drum up any stoner insights to ramble on about… I finished said task this afternoon… so I’m still half in autopilot mode… but I felt the need to check in since I’ll be starting a similar task on Monday…

I also needed to take a little break to prove to myself that I don’t have to stress out as much as I do about sticking to a daily schedule… yes… when I am on… I plan to post whenever I can… but… I need to schedule downtime to avoid going another twenty years fearing that I’ll never revisit an interest if a streek gets broken… which is what caused the five-year-long burnout mental breakdown that I finally feel that I’m crawling out of…

I’d say that the My Saturday Night Life challenge was the start of my climb… this challenge ended up being a self-review of my life and relationship with comedy… as much as it was a collection of reviews of my favorite show ever since I was a little child… I had to stop when I got to the Louis C.K. episode where he made the controversial molestation jokes… because that’s when I started to become torn over my views on offensive comedy…

Though I would have no issues if I heard these jokes on shows like Howard Stern… I stopped liking the fact that shocking was becoming mainstream… because once an idea becomes both popular and profitable… too many idiots get involved and end up doing it all wrong… to where I now find myself agreeing with the P.C. Police… when I used to be extremely literal when it came to the concept of freedom of speech…

The time off from blogging and writing fiction… allowed me to continue to crawl out of the hole I was in… while figuring out who I wanted to be when I got out… since the blogger/fiction writer in me is so strongly tied to my past… learning to code fulfilled my needs to fill page after page with words… it also allowed me to break my addiction to story… having grounded me into a field where logic reigns over the freedom of fantasy…

I wouldn’t say that I’m fully back in the blogging game… but… I’m definitely rebuilding the foundation… while still on a break from even thinking about creating fiction… I can’t wait to get healthy enough to revisit those days… because I feel like… if I do end up making it… things are going to get really fun…

Alright… that’s all that I’ve got for tonight… I’ll probably be back tomorrow???

Talk to you then if I do…

Sincerely…

The Wicker Breaker
