Liveblogging the End of Your Life as You Know It

January 10, 2006

So, I’m back online. For a little while. Most everyone who knows me has an idea of what’s going on by now. If it wasn’t the article in the Mobile Register, it was the stories on WPMI. Or WKRG. Or WALA. Or WEAR. Or the Montgomery stations, or the Birmingham stations, or the Huntsville stations, or the Biloxi stations. Or the article disseminated across the world by the Associated Press.

It’s odd to have your most personal devastation simulcast for the infotainment of a hungry public. While I’ve had many friends, family, and former coworkers contacting me expressing their support, the knowledge that our private hell is grist for the mill is a little nauseating. That said, it’s not our fault it happened, and it’s not their fault for talking about it. The blame lies with one person.

There’s not much to add for now—not that I’m going to talk about in public, anyway—other than to say that my family is fine, albeit in hiding, and that we appreciate all your support.

    Welcome aboard Matt! I have to admit that reason why anyone might take a hiatus from blogging is because we eventually run out of good material.

    I wouldn’t say that a lack of good material is really my problem right now. :)

Have your say

Don’t be a jerk.
