I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love in recent weeks as many have contacted me offline to ask why I have not been posting as frequently as normal, enquiring after my health. To all of you who have expressed concern thank you but there is no need to be alarmed. I recently entered into negotiations with a very powerful force in the business who had expressed an interest in acquiring my heart, mind, soul and new found blogebrity. I felt it better to lay off the blogging for a bit while the suitor went through the due diligence hoops.
This morning I learned – to be honest, with relief – the deal is off. Apparently I will be going to hell anyway and the other party could not find enough value in my previous blog posts to tip the balance in favor of irreversible damnation. No matter. Others have waiting in the wings to console me with similar deals of their own. Bless them.
Today you can read my original post Body Image on RecruitingBloggers.com. RecruitingBloggers is a brand new escapade which the Recruiting Animal kindly invited a few lost souls to participate in. Described as a “hedonistic orgy of glutinous blogging” I’m not sure whether this is an invitation to pleasure or torment but, as I am so over the collapse of negotiations with that other powerful force, I said to myself, “What the hell!”
Contrasting the Animal’s rabid approach to sinking his teeth into a thing, I continue to get regular phone calls from Jason Davis who patiently nudges me to resume posting on Recruiting.com. As there is no doubt in my mind that Jason Davis represents a host of heavenly angels – and by way of double indemnity – I have resolved to respond to his persistent, polite requests. In the next day or two I shall resume posting my less offensive material on Recruiting.com so that there is something left for you to read when you do come here. You will still visit, won’t you?
Last, I am planning to start posting in the new year on my company’s new blog-enabled website. Jim Durbin – his business is blogging, so he knows – suggests I might start taking FOCUSfactor to help me get all these postings done, sorted. On the other hand, my wife has suggested Colonblow as more appropriate prescriptive for my blogging. Either way, both treatments are quite expensive, so what to do?
So again, I find myself hoping the choices I am making today will be the rights ones realizing that I am damned if I do and damned if I don’t. I guess all this leaves me no choice really – published and be damned.
Rock on, recruitingblogger. I had to give you some pub today:

I think that Ginkgo Biloba and all those alternate brain enhancers are a big scam and until strong proof appears via some other avenue than hearsay, I’ll continue to think so. Jim would be better off recommending some of that chipotle he touts in other circumstances and I myself will suggest coffee. Caffeine is one of the most studied drugs in history and we know it works. (More about that later).
