Oh hai!
Despite vicious rumor and multiple attempt to discredit my slightly-less-than-reputable name here in the blogosphere, I have not, oh faithful readers, either forgotten not forsaken you. No, instead I was the target of a vile and treacherous plot to stifle Internet creativity by someone (who shall remain nameless) exploding a bomb of excessive kilotonnage in my room, thus spreading clothing and electronic and Snapple bottle to the far reaches of my dominion and quite sufficiently burying my computer beneath the previously mentioned debris. As a result I have not posted, not because I had not desire to, but simply because I lacked access to my now-missing keyboard. Despite what would seem an unceasing search and sorting through the chaos, I have emerged successfully on the other side, keyboard and mouse in hand, and now have the capabilities to communicate to you once again through the written word.
No? Not buying it? Ok, well then the truth that I will now convey to you is simply this: I have either been (1.) extremely busy or (2.) extremely lazy or (3.) a combination of both. As it stands it seems that I am now no longer unemployed but rather currently find myself daily walking down the hallowed corridors of Terrence C Reilly School #7 in Elizabeth, NJ as a substitute teacher. The 4th and 5th grade antics keep me rather busy during the day and, relatedly, cause me to drop into deep coma upon arrival at home. In addition, upon waking from previously mentioned coma, I then find myself either planning for the work I daily do with my 8th graders of Digital Media Technology or planning for what I do with my fine and highly intelligent colleagues of The Bridge Youth Ministries or planning for other things I do with Connection or planning for how to transition from a lowly substitute position to a full-time paid staff position at work or planning my plots for world domination. I tell you, there has been much planning going on, and concurrently many meetings (argh!). In addition there has been, as well, the execution of much of said planning. Resultantly, there has been little time to do much else, Internet related or otherwise.
Fortunately, due to being a substitute teacher and constrained to the schedule of a public school, I have been fortunate enough to have had the last week and one-half free due to Christmas vacation. Fortunate in the fact that I have had a clear schedule since December 23 but not quite as fortunate in the fact that, being substitutive in nature, I am unpaid for such time off. Alas, I am grateful for the vacation and time to sleep and Xbox venture out into worlds of fun and then sleep some more. Likewise I am also excited to get back into the swing of things come Monday.
And so, I come to the end of this brief update into the past four months. I do have some photographic wonderfulness that I will attempt to post soon as I have had time to process the images I have taken since September in the past week. And I hope that our next meeting will come some time before Spring Break sometime in a few months. I hope you have missed me as I have missed you, but I will forgive you if this is not the state you find yourself in.
