Hi there ya'll! To avoid having the paps track me down, and avoid any nonsensical rumors, I thought I'd post a little bloggy to let ya'll know where I've disappeared off to.

With the introduction of more and more ads, pop-ups and other annoyances here at Yuwie I find my mellow getting quite harshed on. My intention for this site was to provide a little entertainment and info for the peeps, and hopefully generate a little fundage for a much deserving charity. Since I'm not willing to spend every waking hour begging for page views...the fundage is kinda slow. No biggie. If that comes to fruition it does...if it doesn't I can support the charity in other ways. And I do want to thank everyone who has cheered and encouraged me...and enjoyed my bloggies. I love doing them! I'm thrilled that I've been entertaining in my own slightly twisted and babbly way. 

But...here's the thing...lately, I see more and more people posting and blogging about the hours and hours they spend on returning messages and comments and ratings and such. I see people apologizing, feeling guilty, worrying and stressing. Over what? Something that is supposed to be...ummm...fun? Ignoring family, hobbies, responsibilities and...well...LIFE...to be online? Doesn't that seem a bit...ummm...unhealthy to anyone?

I've never subscribed to the whole "devote your life to Yuwie so I can get rich, rich, rich" frame of mind, but the time I have spent on here could be put toward something more enriching.

Know what I'm sayin'?

Outside of the time I spend on work...I have a book to edit and solicit to publishers. I have two other books I need to finish drafting. I have redecorating projects that I could finish. I have books to read, an office badly in need of reorganization and friends moving back to town who I've missed dearly.

And you know what ya'll?

It's summertime, and I live in a tropical paradise that is right outside my front door! But if I use my limited spare time to hang out here I'll miss out on all of that stuff.

So...

...I've decided to take the rest of the summer off.

Have no fear. My two other bloggies here....and here will remain active. If you would like to stay in touch you can always track me down at either of those two places...and I'd love to have you all as friends there as well. I will check back in here from time to time, as my schedule allows, and may drop in a quick "howdy" if something super newsworthy happens (Britney getting a Nobel Peace Prize, Liloh developing actual talent, etc...)... but I do not intend to be active here again until Fall rolls around. Perhaps by then all the kinks will be worked out here, making it a more enjoyale and less gimme-gimme oriented environment.

Life is short. Don't spend all of it gazing at a computer monitor. 

Love & Linguini To All!

I'll catch ya' in the Fall!
