There’s a comeback in the works (:

Charles Mazerolle — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:10:07 +0000

Hi everyone .. since my last post I’ve become a father, took up electrical engineering, added a few pounds to my midsection and celebrated a couple of birthdays. I`ve moved twice, not including the college move, made new friends, lost some old ones, shaved my head and rediscovered the world around us several time in my quest for truth and self betterment. I`ve become an atheist, then an agnostic, went for lots and lots of walks and ruined my credit rating, which was shockingly easy to do.

Now that we`re all caught up it`s time to get back to work.

I`m back is what I mean. Back to the blogsphere and back to writing. I feel a little rusty after being away for nearly 3 years, but I feel good about coming back and for right now that`s all that matters. I`ll be back to submitting to Digg.com tomorrow and that is sort of scary. Digg has changed a lot in my absence. I mean A LOT.

If you guys have any suggestions or comment give me a shout ..
