_{So there I was, being gone one day, when I realized, I should be here.}
^{Yet I never came back, until now.}

So here I am.

Did you miss me?

^{I missed me.}

Where I've been is a long story and hard to explain.  I guess the only place to start is the beginning.

Hi!

^{My name is @NoNamesLeftToUse The Writer/Artist Himself!}

It's my first day; but I start tomorrow.

In life, I go poof.  I can vanish without a trace.  Nobody will call the cops to report me missing for this behavior is normal for me.  They'll just assume I'm gone and might come home someday, or maybe not, who knows; and it doesn't matter, because this is me, and they know that.

Most wouldn't notice.  I think when I'm officially dead and gone, whatever remains of me after the cat is done eating will just end up being that stain on the floor someone has to cover with a rug when they move in.

So, I've been gone.  A complete disconnection from all things.  This life is lonely.  I've been inside my head for the past five months.  Nowhere else but there; surviving blizzards, dust storms, some tumbleweeds, and the odd bad memory.

This is making me nervous.

^{Maybe I'm not ready.}

I suppose it's now or never though and being invisible is only fun for the first few weeks.

There's not much for me to say.  I thought I'd have more for you.  I doubt I'll make excuses for being gone.  Probably won't apologize except to those who thought I was dead.

Truth is: I am and always was dead.  I died long ago.  Now I'm stuck, here, in this little box of words and suddenly rhymes for no reason other than that's me, son.

So

^{This is what it's like to write.}

I almost forgot.

Feels good. I missed this.

^{It's nice to see you again, Keys.}

I have no idea why I stopped; no clue why I've been gone so long.  It was only supposed to be a few days.  I remember sticking around, going silent, but still voting and reading your stuff.  Then I found myself far far away from an internet connection.  I liked it, so I stayed there, alone.

I guess I needed a break.  I think I mentioned that a few times, back in the day.

Leaving isn't easy.  Being away wasn't easy.  Coming back; this is hard.

For the past two months of this five month hiatus...

Wait a second here!

^{Who's Atus; and why am I saying hi to the guy?}

Anyway... what the hell was I talking about?  Incredibly lame jokes?  No.  That wasn't it...

Oh yeah!  I remember now.

For the past two months, I thought about this place and you folks, on the daily.  Sometimes those thoughts didn't leave me until it was time to enter dream land at night so I could get back to disposing of the bodies or whatever strange nightmare dream thing I'd be forced to endure while my eyes were sealed shut during the dark hours when the birds don't chirp.

All day I'd just be sitting there, awake, doing not much, wanting to be here, doing this, that, and the other thing.  Eventually, that drove me nuts.  So now that I'm crazy again, after a long break, feeling rejuvenatedish, this is probably where I should be, again.

Season Four

^{That's right.}

Welcome to another addition of whatever I felt like doing that day.  I don't have anything planned.  I hope to be entertaining.  I'll probably have some new stuff produced for you to look at.  I was away for five months, one would think I'd have a mountain of entertainment ready for you to enjoy, but the truth is, I didn't lift a finger while I was gone.  I'm sitting here relearning everything.  Rusty.  The artist in me needs a good pressure washing and some grease.  Needed the break though.  You know how it is.

I was scrolling through my blog here the other day, as I was making one of my first real attempts to get back into this groove.  Couldn't believe my eyes. I don't know how I managed to pull off that much work in such a short period of time.  I do remember a lot of 24 hour work days though.  That's probably how I did it.

So

^{I feel good.}

Well rested.  Said a lot without saying anything and yeah...

It's nice to see you again.
