Now, I did come in and write for a few days in the middle, I think, but mostly I haven't had the bandwidth to keep this thing going. I put in my resignation almost a week ago, but I just had a discussion with my about it boss, and I feel all kinds of messed up because of it. So let's get into it man, let me pour my heart out on these pixels. I gave my interview in a mix of serendipity and turbulence. One year ago, in February, I had just spent 3-4 months in suspended animation after my last gig went belly up. It was ex...
