Mr Hugh MacLeod experiences the Y-Front Cycle : Gaping Void

(Cartoon at the bottom if my verbiage is just undergrowth. RSS readers will need to click through today).

Mr MacCleod (of the swishing blade and the severed heads: NOT) has become lost in the wash:

After I found myself permanently exiled from the advertising business in late 2004, I found myself with only a single, unpaid gig remaining i.e. this website, gapingvoid…

…Within two years or so I had turned the ship around quite nicely.

But somehow gapingvoid got lost in the mix. Even though the plan has always been to keep gapingvoid at the very epicenter of what I do, in the last 18 months or so it seemed to get increasingly pushed to the margins…

And so, following the inspiration of Mr Major:

..this last week I’ve been telling people I work with, I’m changing the game plan. I’m going back to basics. From now on building “the gapingvoid brand” will become my first priority. Yes, I will still be working with the same people and projects I’m working with now, in much the same way, but in a much less involved capacity.

Time to regroup. Indeed.

So there you have it:

Blogging from a flat in nothing but Y-Fronts to feeling nostalgia for blogging from a flat in nothing but Y-Fronts takes nearly 4 years.

All the Political Bloggers who started in 2005 - you have been warned.

One hint to recover your sanity: cricket.
