I could tell you I’ve been doing something important… like attempting to solve why hot dogs come in packages of eight and hot dog buns come in packages of ten or something… but I’d be lying to you. In truth, I just lost the will to write for some reason, and so posting to this site became a bit of a chore. And once it becomes a chore instead of something fun to do, I kinda give up on writing.

I decided to take some time off; work on the site design, work on a few other sites, and basically completely lose my mind for a while which, thankfully, seemed to do the trick. So I’m back, awesome-er than ever, and ready to reclaim my title as the Ambassador of Awesome to the internet.

But you ever watch any movie where the hero (in this case being your favorite eD!) is beaten by some enemy (who I like to call “time,” “energy,” and “Yasmine Bleeth”), and has to take time to regroup and refocus his efforts? That hero never returns alone… no, sir. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have Casey Jones, Batman has Robin, and Superman has… I dunno, Jimmy Olsen as Turtle Boy is as good as any.

Well, my Turtle Boy is Mike St. James, The Professional Drunk, a man so dedicated to eliminating the terror that is domestic light beer that he has started blogging. (In truth, he was either going to write about alcohol or his odd fascination with nostrils; I think he made the right choice.)

Besides St. James, there’s a few other things that I have cooking for the next few months, including a relaunch of The Challenge: Awesome, which I may have retooled to the point where it won’t be impossible to do, a new video blog and podcast, and a few other things that are both awesome and unlikely, so I’ll be especially vague about them.

So subscribe to my RSS feed, or sign up for the e-mail updates on the sidebar, and get ready to reach new heights of awesome.
