I also believe that I have some articles long overdue, like that Miracleman one. My apologies to all 3 of you who were interested in that. I'll finish parts 2 and 3 eventually.
Truth is, I had some personal problems that were affecting my life, and while I'm not even close to resolving them, I've gotten a lot better at handling them in some ways. But this came at a price of cutting myself off from distractions and entertainment, and thus my absence.
I'm a different person than I was a few months ago. I hope to be a different person months from when I'm writing this post. Not all change is good, but changing yourself to be a better person is wonderful. This is probably common sense to almost everyone, but I'm shocked at how long it took me to realize that. Sometimes we fail, but that's okay. Again, painfully obvious to lots of folks. Me? I've got some catching up to do.
