Where the hell have you been?

I'm not dead.
I'm not in the hospital.
I'm not celebrating my lottery winnings.
I haven't joined the circus.
I did not, despite earlier promises, move to Canada.
The Administration did not ship me off to Guantanamo.
My guest worker status didn't change.
I'm not pregnant.

The world is not flat.
The Law of Gravity's still applicable.
Algebra is dumb.

And so on.

To answer everyone's question...

I haven't been blogging because I haven't had much to say. And, I seem to have, at some point in time, acquired a life. I'm sure it won't last. My sarcastic blabbing will return. Never fear.

I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
