Text of the page (random words):
blog this pal january 2 2023 a detour to the second city normally when i would write a post like this it would start with a warning in big bold letters in a different font in the interests of full disclosure a complimentary ticket was provided for this post however the tickets came at the right time for me emotionally my mother has been in and out of the hospital for the past few months and my sense of humor was sorely out of whack but not so much that when one coworker asked for another coworker s headband i asked if he was planning to wear red leather and sing working for the weekend but i ve only been to second city once before years ago dating a woman on a regular basis my first real girlfriend not going anywhere but howling with laughter at news for dogs with its generation defining cry of snacky wacky time however the current review america all better was a complete and absolute blast obviously it s taking aim at the slightly over the top hopes in the wake of the obama presidency but it contains some real comedic gems and oh is it funny two couples at various relationship stages have a discussion mayor daley impresses the olympic committee students in a public speaking class face their fears two wwe wrestlers and my personal highlight a wedding dj makes some well unusual choices for an impending event to say any more would be spoiling a wall to wall entertaining show although the entire cast is simply brilliant major kudos need to go to lauren ash no it s not necessarily her resume or her ability to handle herself onstage it s just that well i imagine with our combined intelligence wit and looks we could create a race of genetic superbeings destined to rule the planet so lauren please call me seriously but anyway enough of my yakkin in recent months it has felt like i ve been going through the motions in many aspects of my life so much so that i ve felt like my blogging has become cookie cutter with a lack of personality to it thanks to second city for the reminder that sometimes it s best to just work without a net and that improv is more than just a theatrical tool from gordon d at 6 19 am 0 comments labels chicago comedy humor im pop culture positivity june 30 2019 ave atque vale fifteen years is long enough isn t it and now the end is near and so i face no i won t make that obvious reference you ve been too good for that dear reader when i started this blog in may 2004 i was bored at work seriously so i started typing away on this platform about comics doctor who and all sorts of other things in the then emerging comics blogosphere i was hell i was a minor player if even that but this blog took me through another long distance move from st louis to chicago my mother s liver transplant and later illness and the passing of my father and way too many friends but i was able to translate this blog into various other parts of my life my initial foray into writing with comic related acquiring jobs in social media and copywriting and developing a strong sense of discipline even if it meant that i couldn t blog every day or every other day you ve probably noticed that i haven t been posting frequently on this blog for the past few years much of it has been due to various life situations but mostly it s because my pulp writing has been really taking off as much as i had relied on this blog for search optimization through google plus that s no longer an issue since g plus no longer exists between looking for work caring for mom self care running chicago doctor who meetup and blogging for chicago now and i hear of sherlock i have been not stretched too thin exactly but i ve had to let go of many activities and it looks like this blog is going to be one of them so this is my formal goodbye to the blog but i m not necessarily letting it go altogether my new content creation activities will be focused on building my author patreon page some content will be public others will be gated trying to develop those alternate revenue streams that i keep hearing about my blogging efforts will be focused on chicago now s one cause at a time and yes i m reading some materials for i hear of sherlock that will allow me to write on professional topics plus i need that sweet sweet seo you ll always be able to catch updates via my author facebook page twitter and you can contact me through my personal website but i m not just going to abandon this site to the unholy internet gods there s plenty of evergreen content on the site that can be reused it will mean changing graphics broken links and reposting through patreon my where stories come from writer s commentaries will be early access posts on that site i ve already updated my diy doctor who dvd guide and this micro onetouch razor review as proofs of concept and this is going to happen when i get the odd moment especially since i m seeing a slight uptick in traffic especially since i was cited in this wikipedia entry on the prisoner shattered visage i won t be giving up this blog completely but will try to keep things up to date and ensure that this blog doesn t completely disappear so for everyone i have met through this blog and those of you who have read any or all of these posts thank you thanks for keeping me writing for sharing your stories and for really making this worthwhile every writer s secret wish is to be read and i m glad you helped me start on the road towards a career in writing thanks and we ll meet again at some point i promise from gordon d at 9 07 pm 0 comments labels blog this pal
