You might chalk it up to pandemic malaise.
Or being too exhausted and thought out after spending my day writing for a leading cybersecurity company.
Maybe it was the sense a lot of ground I was going to cover had been covered. I mean how many posts about Springsteen, Breaking Bad and ad agency idiocy can one person read, let alone write.
It might've been that with incredibly entertaining, thoughful, hilarious, well-written blogs like Rich Siegel's Round Seventeen, and Jeff Eaker's Kingdom of Failure readily available on the interwebs, I didn't feel the need to keep throwing my URL in the ring.
But I finally figured out the reason. And it was right there in front of me the whole time.
As Will Patton said to Griffin Dunne in After Hours— "lack of discipline."
Not saying it was a total lack of discipline. Problem was it was the exact same amount I apply to my new year's resolutions to diet, exercise, get through my ever rising tower of unread books, clean the garage and, did I mention my diet?
You see where I'm going.
But like disco and eating at Five Guys, that's all behind me now.
I've gotten my second wind, and here at Rotation and Balance headquarters we're going to be ramping up the line.
Normally I don't like to tip my hand, show my cards, spill the beans or whatever the fuck that saying is. But because you may recall I've made this promise once or twice before here, I wanted to give you a little sneak preview of the topics that will be coming up in the next couple weeks for your reading and time-wasting pleasure.
There will be a fine piece on how I recently came out to my car one morning only to find out it'd been broken into and ransacked.
I'll have a little rant about LAX and all the joy that implies.
You can look forward to reading what a monumental prick Matthew Perry is (could he be any more of an asshole?).
There'll be a tribute to my friend and former boss Amy who passed away recently (#fuckcancer).
And, just in time for the holiday season, I'll have my musings on my experience giving the wife not one, but two Cameo videos from some of her favorite actors.
Those are just a few on the list, but there are many more to come.
So like shoulder pads, floral wallpaper and patchwork denim, I'm back.
Besides, if I'm writing I won't be eating. So there's hope for that diet resolution yet.
