Never Make Announcements

The "Sabbatical" Ends

Something like a few days ago I said I would be taking a break from Associated Content and that when I returned it would be with satire, not seriousness. I can only attest to having kept one of my promises, and that was the satire part. You see, in the past few days I have come into the possession of a beautiful new laptop computer. All I can tell you is that I have more or less received my Excalibur, now I can write my column anytime, anywhere. Thank God, now I can waste even more time. Those things being said of course, it wasn't like I was ever very productive in the first place... or very honest.

There is one thing I will learn from returning from a Sabbatical after only a few days, and that is to never make any promises. I might have driven away some of the few hundred readers that I actually have by going and telling them that I was going to be off. In the end I was only after some time to think about the direction of the column; I have come to a few conclusions. The first conclusion is that I am not going to be making any long term conclusions, right now I am on a bit of a tangent into satire but that could change at any day, any moment; that is the kind of spontaneous guy that I am. Secondly, I am going to make sure that any deal I make with Associated Content is 100% non-exclusive; I am not going to be kicking myself when I turn out to be some sort of big hit without any right to his own work. It probably won't happen but this is all just in case.
