Blog Display Issues
You've probably noticed that certain things aren't populating on the blog. For example, the date that once sat to the left of each blog title is gone. In addition, the search box appears to be history. I've asked around in forums and such and it appears to be something with Wordpress and hosting of background images. I really have no idea what that means, but some kind forum folks are offering up advice on how to get it fixed. I guess this has impacted many bloggers. I may need to change to a new display altogether.
Pretty fonts and stuff aside, the content, at least for the most part, should continue to appear, as I work feverishly with my staff of me, on getting this fixed.
In the meantime, donate some cash to Haiti.

Thank You, Visitors
The past two weeks has shown a three-fold increase in the number of unique visitors to this site. To even have one person visit my site on a daily basis is enough to keep plugging away, but the numbers I've been seeing of late are pretty darn humbling. I can certainly thank my pal over at Largeheartedboy for linking to my lists, Brent Best for a wonderful interview and all the great music being made that continues to inspire me day in and day out. I have never made a penny off of this blog and still have no plans to attempt to do so. I think I flirted with advertising for a few hours before laughing at myself. This is just a labor of love. I write what inspires me in that exact moment or over the course of time. I attempt to keep the personal stuff off here, but once in a while, I suppose I let a bit out.
In other news: With money beginning to tighten up quite a bit and the unemployment office driving me to the brink of irreparable insanity (I'm owed for seven weeks and counting), I have slightly picked up my employment search, but unlike times past when a paycheck could be enough to lure me in, I will now only work for a company whose vision I believe in. In this economy, finding openings at such organizations is not easy (but man am I crossing my fingers on one gig). I'm a bit torn as I've made a lot of headway of late with writing (a number of short stories in the bag), photography (I think I have just about enough pictures that I'm happy with to compile a book or something) and although the novel has slowed due to a number of factors, I am still pretty far into it and plan on completing a first draft in the coming weeks.
All that said, again, thank you for reading, watching videos, reading my manic tirades on music, politics, art, culture, wiffle ball and all the rest.
Tonight I will see Son Volt at the Fillmore. In a few days I'll hang with a good friend from New Orleans before seeing another buddy do a short story reading. And if I can somehow muster it up, Sunday I'll be driving to Joshua Tree to see Easton and the rest. Not too bad.
And anyone who knows me, knows full well what song comes next:

June 1st
As of this day, I have some decisions to make with respect to this blog. As I mentioned briefly in a post a few days back, I have landed full-time work. That job commences on June 1 and it will likely be a very time-consuming role. In addition, as I creep closer to completing a first draft of my book, I would like to spend a good portion of my free time working on that.
Will I have to spend a little less time on this here blog? Well, yeah. I mean, I was averaging about 80 or so posts/month over the past few months, and I can't imagine I can sustain that.
I'm sure I'll find time.
