Where I’ve Been
Posted by Andrew
A quick personal post on my recent MIA status.
A few things have happened in the past month:
-NCAA Football and Madden 10 (A distracting panacea)
-I’ve had a nasty illness that’s given me coughing fits and tempered my usual optimism
And finally I’ve just generally been discouraged with my progress on this blog. All through my own fault of course 
But and this is the really good part for you, the reader. But, I’ve decided to slog through and keep my hopes up for it.
Many of the experts say that blogging is a marathon, not a sprint and I believe them.
I have to do it for the long haul and hope for the best.
A recent job interview did the trick too. 
Do I want to spend 12 hour days working in a field I’m not entirely passionate about or would I rather spend the relatively few hours working on what truly interests me through this blog?
At the very least, I have to keep up hope and keep this option open

Glad to have you back. Believe me, we all go through the trough of disillusion. It’s natural and unavoidable. I had my own bought of despair a couple of weeks ago (this is the post http://blog.venturecooker.com/2009/07/02/the-startup-struggle/). Just keep on trucking.

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!
It really means a lot to know that people are still interested in what I have to say/offer/observe. Community support is so important, huh?
