Chepooka

The obligatory “I’ve returned from haitus” post.

It’s been the better part of a year since I’ve posted to this blog. I’ve missed blogging, but didn’t want to return until I knew I was really ready. I decided today to just get something up!, so I went on a bit of a bender and this is the result. If it’s wonky, or ugly, or broken ... it’s because I’ve not moved from my desk or rested my eyeballs since late afternoon ... it’s now 5:24 a.m.

Design is always important to me, it’s who I am, but I really just want to write again.

I love these creative binges though. Uninterrupted, silent, peaceful, focused—just me, my waterfall, my aromatherapy burner and reruns of Coach or something playing in the background.

I’m a different person than I was a year ago, and I’m especially different since first starting Chepooka. I thought very seriously about starting over with a new domain, a new everything. But then decided that I am my past, present and future. And I’m happy about all of those things.

I’m learning to not take myself too seriously. To be patient. To be as nice to myself as I’m capable of being to others. Junk like that. So there’s lots and lots to say, and I’m glad to be back!

xoxo

I’m glad that you’re back in the game. Missed you!

The design is great...I LIKE it!

Sentimental, maybe, but it’s as if an old friend has come back.

Welcome back to blogging, Che. I predict thatyou’ll be on hiatus again in another nine months.

On the topic of wanting a blog to write to, though, this morning I found myself missing my old blog because I couple thoughts that, in years past, I would have posted there and hope they started a conversation. One was about gravity. Suppose that there was a hole in the Earth that went from, say, North Dakota to China. This hole just goes all the way though the Earth, one side to the other, and does not have a bottom. Now suppose an American wanted a free trip to China and decides, hey, I’m gonna jump down that hole! Would they make it to China, or would they fall into an endless form of gravity looping? Gravity, after all, would eventually reverse as one nears the other side of the Earth, so has this man falls towards China, the closer he comes to China would gravity take effect and he eventually falls away from China and back towards America? Then visa versa? And forever he’s rotating between two directions of falling with no hope of seeing land again?

The other thought I wanted to post involved a dirty pickup line with the word “jizz” in it that I should probably just never repeat again.

Hm. Maybeit’s good that I don’t have my old blog anymore. But I wish you luck with yours.
