Hi. As you’ve probably noticed, I sorta stopped updating my blog. I have excuses! Plenty of em’. Here’s some:
1) I’m really lazy.
2) I have a problem with depression which affects any motivation I have.
3) I really don’t care about celebrity gossip. I didn’t even care about it when I was getting paid to care about it. I just seem to have a really good memory structure to house stupid facts about vacuous assholes who stumbled on to fame and fortune due to genetics.
4) This wasn’t making me any money, and I wasn’t sure how to monetize it so it would.
5) Blogs like DListed and WWTDD do this sort of thing way better.
6) What? I’m not getting down on myself! I’m a pretty good writer, and fairly amusing. But sometimes I think my humor is forced and a riffing a little too much on other people’s.
7) I had some serious job crazy in the last couple of years. I got laid off my blogging gig, lived in jobless terror for 7 months (which time I should have spent making this blog all kinds of awesome and I didn’t really try), got a job, lived in job terror for close to a year (insane boss), got fired, and then got my current job at the purveyor of gay sex headquarters. Which I hated at first, but then I got a promotion and I love it. Seriously, I look at dudes all day, can look at porn all I want for “work reasons,” I work in probably the most gay-friendly environment ever except for maybe a dildo shop in SF, I get to social media-ize and write all day long…it’s just fun and I look forward to what the day brings. I don’t think I found my calling, but it’s a helluva place to hang out until (if ever) I do.
Those are kind of all the reasons I can think of. Maybe I’ll check in now and then but it’s not looking that way. I will keep it up and open, though. So – yay?
There IS good news. I recently began writing a good portion of the Manhunt Daily. So if you want to follow what I’m up to…here’s the link – www.manhuntdaily.com. If you liked this blog, then you will enjoy the Gay Ass Gossip feature. I’ll also be doing some tv recapping this summer, so stay tuned for that.
I’ll also be writing the blog for BigBearDen, coming soon. www.bigbearden.com
And if you’re a HUGE J. Harvey fan, here’s where the rest of my day job happens:

http://www.facebook.com/dlistcom
http://www.facebook.com/BigBearDen
Note: A good portion of those (specifically the Manhunt Daily) are COMPLETELY homosexual in nature and very NSFW. You’ve been warned.
Anyway, that’s that. I’m sure I will see you again soon. I love you.

You suck for not writing here anymore but I understand, your heart and your mind is somewhere else. I just wish you kept writing here. Here is an idea… use this site for venting when you need to (just because you are really funny) and you will keep your avid readers happy
Besos y buena suerte en todo. Nos vemos pronto.

PS. forget about the “celebrities” they mean nothing to us. Actually they are just plain boring. I mean, who wants to see them eating and showing their privates (been there done that) unless you want to explain why Mariah is constantly painting her pregnant belly, there is no much sense into what they do, really.

I have missed and will continue to miss your posts. But I’ll follow your other stuff, just cuz I like you that much, k?

Good luck to you!
I will miss you, but I’d rather see you following your heart.

Total bummer. But at least now I know. It hurt more when I was waiting for your next post. Thx for the closure, J. And thanks for years of laughs. Sincerely, A Really Big Fan of Yours

Now I can get my dose of J. Harvey along with photos of beautiful nekkid men. Yay!
Congratulations on getting such a fantastic job!

Love you, miss you, wish you all the best!

Has GERARD followed you to manhuntdaily?

I KNEW THE WHOLE TIME THAT YOU WERE GAY MY FAVORITE PART IS ALL YOUR HAUSFRAU FANS NOW HAVE TO GET THRUOGH PICS OF MEN PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER PEEPEES IN ORDER TO READ YOUR OCCASIONALLY FUNNY TITBIT OF WRITING HAHA

Well, boo. I don’t give a crap about the celebs. My fav posts were about your commutes and RiRi Harvey. Best wishes to you. Nobody can afford what your worth anywho.

You were a HUGE inspiration to me when you used to scribe for the DList. I loved your style, your humour and your odd way of looking at things. It challenged this fledgling writer to follow suit, and pursue his own tongue in cheek way of looking at the society we all dwell within.
I’ve long since taken my writing to different places, but I am eternally grateful to you for making the grade, so that guys like me could aspire to be more than the sum of our own parts.
So I’m guilty of a little hero worship. I’ve been tarred and feathered for lesser crimes.
I’m looking forward to reading some of your new stuff on the sites you’ve linked.
If you’re ever in the neighborhood and want to see what you’ve unknowingly helped spawn:

It’s another wordpress site. If you read deeply enough, you may find mention of your name in there. I really got a kick out of you when I started seeking inspriration, and worked to make my own words bring cracks to otherwise sullen faces.
Good luck with the new gigs.
