Checkin' In: A letter to umf'ers (yeah, you!)

Uh...hey guys,

I just wanted to let y'all know that I definitely didn't forget about y'all (and announce the official completion and registration of the script for the TBX movie, in case anybody didn't hear me the first 34 times I said it on the internet and to any 3-D people that would listen) ...how could I forget a group of people who take time out of their days to get me to constantly reveal sordid details of my life on a weekly basis? Seriously, I missed talking to y'all, even with all my new life directions and shit.

Oh, and on that topic, the reason I posted like 3 times last month is that I was taking my best swing at the online Champion Screenwriting Competition with the now completed and registered TBX script (35 times...so I'm a little hype, fuckin' sue me!). Prize is $10,000, the right to get my work in front on some eyes that are located above some deep pockets, a free pass out of this 40 hour a week hellhole and the general acknowledgement that I'm the fuckin' man with a pen in my hand (keyboard...you know what I mean). So, yeah, that's kind of a big deal. Doesn't excuse my complete lack of posts...I can dig that...which is why I'm writing this.

As I'm sure y'all probably noticed, I don't get to post on here as often as I would like any more...one reason is that I use most of the time I steal from my job to write stuff like screenplays and e-books nowadays...and the other is that I don't want to use up all my good riffs on unpaid endeavors. (You'll thank me when you don't recognize every joke in some future mass-produced foolishness of mine.) That'll definitely change when I can get the fuck out of this job...you just couldn't imagine how hard it is to get any real work done when your job gets in the way.

Anyway, I want to thank y'all for continuing to spread the word about umf in my semi-absence and continuing to check out some of the old posts (it's only fair since nobody read many of them the first time :p ). It was kind of crazy to take a month off and see my munbers hold steady, and even spike on a few days...but hell, I'll take it. It means a lot to me to know some folk are with me even when I'm not around. I know I've been neglecting the fuck out of the umf fanpage (which you are still invited to *like* and make suggestions on) as well as the actual hat over here...I'll try to be better about that, I promise. I'll make it up to you too...any way you want (except that, you sick freak) just say the word.

I guess I'll keep this short (well, short for me...keep it capri?) ...I know y'll have probably found something else to do with the 10-30 minutes a weekday that used to be mine...and honestly, I can't blame y'all. It's not you, it's me...you're great, but you're just not my type and I'm not really ready for a relationship, and I'm sure you'll find the right...wait, this isn't a breakup, just a checkup. Just wanted to let you guys know with all the things on my mind these days, you guys are still right up there...seriously. You just don't pay me...lol. Aight, I got an e-book to write...."Fresh Uncensored Critical Knowledge (for your life)" (Yes, I'm serious...get your Kindles ready..."F.U.C.K. for Your Life") is coming sooner than you think). Thanks for riding with me...trust me, this one goes somewhere fun.

Love,
AJ
