I might consider it a sign from a higher power that I was unable to blog for the past three weeks. But of course, that all depends on if such a power is restricted to blogging or if it applies to other things. But let’s not get ridiculous now.
Starting around May 23rd, none of my Blogger posts would upload to my server’s FTP. No matter what I did or changed in the specs, the same result occurred (Error: Broken pipe.) There was a conflict between the blog protocol and the server protocol. So as I made an attempt to attack why this was happening…
On the evening of May 25th, after the finales of Lost and Alias, I was greeted to some rather potent food poisoning, which beyond keeping me in and out of the bathroom all night long, caused me to miss 2 days of work, and disabled me for the greater part of the next 4 days.
Being a New Yorker, I have come to expect such things while eating in the city… but alas, it is of no surprise that I usually try to avoid anything that looks suspicious from a street vendor or a bodega. Really, it’s just common sense.
However, I guess my Chicken Tendercrisp sandwich and large fries from Burger King did not look guilty of harboring any deadly poison, since I ate them for lunch that day. But it’s the only reasonable explanation I have for why I got sidelined.
The following week, the protocol conflict went on, so I continued the blogging absence. Then on June 1, I took a three day business excursion to Tampa. Which leads me to here… trying to explain why I have been long gone from this endeavor I began only a few months ago.
Alas, it was inevitable to have such an absence. I have noticed even if the best of bloggers have a lapse in their religious adherence to their writing or reviewing. But if you can get back into it as soon as you can, then it’s all good. Which I’m doing. So away I go.
