It's Been 2 Months

2 months since my last blog post. I suppose many of you thought I finally called it quits on this blog, which I honestly considered. I do have some legitimate reasons for the inactivity, but the longer I waited, the longer my return message had to be.

But I also know that I would regret abandoning this blog, so I've decided to set aside everything and dedicate however much time I need to get things back to speed.

The first four weeks can be accounted for simply enough: I was hit with a very nasty fever, the worst I likely ever had in my life. While I was thankful enough that I wasn't blasting puke every hour like in my younger days, I was still filled with immobilizing pain throughout my body, along with sporadic bouts of freezing cold and searing heat. And in one frightful night, I even had trouble breathing properly.

The next four weeks were dedicated to job searching. Prior to my four week flu, I was unfortunately terminated from my job as a credit card customer rep. The short of it was that I quietly mouthed off about an extremely rude customer, off the phone mind you, while the wrong kind of person happened to overhear me. It wasn't even a swear word, but it was enough to get me the boot. Truthfully, the job became extremely stressful to me, and those still working have told me that things have not improved whatsoever, and they are all dying to find work elsewhere. Since I was hit with the fever just one day after, perhaps this was fortune smiling on me.

The only problem is I'm still unemployed, but I am diligently looking. On the bright side, I'm attending college again, intent on finishing the last few classes for my certification. My online gig in Primotech is also going much smoother than I thought. While I'm still in the internship phase, my reviews of Devil May Cry 4, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and a few news postings have garnered praise from my editor. I've also got my first game personally shipped from the website on the way, free to own and review. By next month I should start making money from this position. Not enough to consider it a new job, but enough to fulfill my monthly media budget.

So anyway, I really do apologize for the long delay, and I hope I can still get back some readers, old and new. I can't guarantee without delay that I'll stick to my Monday/Friday update schedule, but I will do my best. It helps that I have a few points of interest I can share with, such as my experience in Gamestop's Smash Bros. tournament from a couple of weeks ago.

And just a heads up, but Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is officially released in stores tomorrow. If there was ever a reason to purchase a PSP, this would be it.
