Brofax

I’ve fallen into the cheesiest of blog stereotypes: “Oh, my job takes too much time. I’m just too worn out!”

This is a river. Cry me one, Me.

I suppose it has been more than a year since I had anything close to regular updates on this site (this has definitely been the most memorable and busy year I think I’ve had or will have for quite some time. I’ll tell you about it later.)

Anyway, I’m trying to save money for, you know, goods and services, so I quit with the self-hosted, $-per-month WordPress blog and transferred the blog/domain back to wordpress.com. There may be some broken stuff, but I’m not concerned. I’ll fix it sometime.

And who knows? I might actually start updating this b*tch like crazy again.
