It's not that I think stupidity should be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself.
Hi all, sorry I've been so silent for the past couple of weeks - I'm posting even less than I had intended to. But I've been in NC, visiting family, and an internet connection has been very hard to come by. Right now I'm standing on one leg, in the corner of my bedroom, with a lightbulb in my ass and a finger in my ear trying to swipe a connection from the house next door.
So as you can imagine, I've had work stuff to keep up on that took precedence with my all-too-dear internet connectivity.
Anyway, I should be back to civilization on Friday and the irregular posting you've come to know and hate should be back to just that - irregular.
And while I'm at it, I guess I should fill everyone in on what's prompted this major shift in my posting habits. Back in June, my partner of 13 years and I decided to split up. It was a very tough decision for both of us, but in the end I think it was the right thing to do. Needless to say, it's been a tough few weeks as I adjust to my new reality, and finding the energy for a daily post has been impossible. And honestly, the breakup kind of launched me into a completely different personal space - so I'm not sure I'll ever get back to a daily.
But I enjoy posting the occasional thing (including the random hot guy!), so I'll probably keep that up. So, if you're so inclined, add me to your favorite RSS reader and you'll be notified when something (not) interesting happens here.
I'm sorry to hear about your break up and it is understandable that after such thing batteries are low.
We love you and wish all the best for you. Peace.

Keep your head up high. Having split recently myself from a 20 year relationship believe me it is tough but with those few true friends you have you WILL see it through. Just look at it as another fantastic journey in this life we have but this time it is for you to appreciate yourself.
Your postings, and others, certainly kept me sane in my dark moments. It is much appreciated.

Sorry to hear about the breakup. You've got lots of anonymous friends and fans out there who will be glad to see your posts no matter how often they come.

Rob,you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. We will be waiting here for you. Lastly...do be careful with that light bulb that could really hurt...
I'm really sorry to hear about your break-up too. I'm going through the same thing with my partner of 12 (months short of 13) years as well. Our seperation begins next week. I've been checking your blog for years now, and completely understand the changes.
Be happy and well.

Sweetie, I am so sorry to hear that. My ex and I were together for 11 years before we split so I totally understand how difficult it is to find your own individual place in the world when your entire reality has abruptly shifted. You'll get there in proper time, we all do. Wishing you the best. Dennis

Sorry to hear that (figured it was something like that, not that it's any of my business). All I can say is, I'd be far more of a mess than you seem to be right now. Hang in there, and if you'll permit me a moment of selfishness, I hope you'll be back in full force soon.

Hi Rob,
sorry to hear the news. But as Blake commented, you have us, anonymous supportive friends around the world... me being Tom from Finland (not of). And hopefully consolating you in your blue moments, let me tell you, that about five years back I broke up with my partner of 15 years. Following that came a couple of restless years but now I'm happy to say, that in August I'm celebrating the 2-year anniversary with my new partner... happy as ever. So based on my experience, there's ALLWAYS hope, love and happiness waiting for you :) You better believe it!

Rob, I went through a similar experience. My partner of 11 years and I broke up and it was a very difficult time for both of us. What happened though is that we took what we had learned about ourselves and what we want in a mate and both found new partners. We all grow and change, and sometimes relationships don't. It is better acknowledge that, break up, and move on than to live in the old non-functioning way. I am now celebrating 8 years with my new partner. Look at this as a growing experience and know that you will emerge a better, stronger and wiser person for it. And those qualities will make you an even better catch. Good luck.

Really sorry to learn about ur seperation! I'm sure u will come out of it soon and continue with ur life with renewed vigour,more experience and wisdom! Everything that happens in life teaches a lesson and surprisingly even the harsh and painful events help in moulding us into better human beings. Life is beautiful if only u look around and notice carefully u will find that u have been blessed with countless no. of persons who r ur well-wishers, friends etc. Good health, enough wealth to enjoy a comfortable life and a lot more (I'm sure--for the nice person u r)Believe me, the world is in agony and ur among the more fortunate ones! So, see the positive side of live and start afresh! Love is strength and we all love u! Take care!
