Here's the back story. Last June, I graduated from the
I sat around unemployed for months last year and started Heartbreaking Cards in September in part to help fill my days. I eventually found a job with a company that contracts with the Department of Education. It's a fine job, I guess, but I have no real passion for it or even a passing interest in doing it for much longer.
It all sort of came to a head this past Saturday. I work Monday-Friday so the weekend is spent essentially doing nothing. All day I was packaging up trades, posting, and scanning cards for future posts. I made a lot of progress on what I wanted to do but I wasn't anywhere near done. I could have been looking for a better job. I could have been getting my "life together." Instead I spent it doing something I really love doing but until I figure out how to make a living from that it's got to go on the back burner.
I'm hoping to be back by Christmas. I will be like a little Christmas present for me...and you, come to think of it! I still have a couple of trades to send out and I'll still be reading every one's blogs like crazy and will still post on A Pack To Be Named Later now and again. For the most part though this will be it for a while.
Cheers,
Matt F.

But your blog has absolutely contributed to the overall good of humankind, so please don't consider any of it time ill spent.
Seriously, good luck with whatever you choose to pursue, and I hope to see you back sooner than later.
If you have any desire to relocate to Minneapolis, part of my job is to help others find jobs.
All the best.
I hope you'll find time for this sooner than you think.
Blogging is pure enjoyment for me, but I also think it helps me in untold ways (in my profession, with alleviating stress, with learning more about the hobby and the world, connecting with others, etc.). So I think it IS something I ought to be doing.
see you at the Burger King dance on monday.
Take a break, get to where you want to be, and make time to have a little fun in the meantime. I'll look forward to your next post in the meantime.
your late night random posts made working the overnight shift for a month straight a little more enjoyable, and for that i thank you sir.
Good luck with whatever it is you will be doing. I hope you find what it is you are looking for. We will hold you to your promise to come back by or before December.
Take care, and Godspeed.
Sincerely,
JayBee Anama

What am I gonna do without your blog?
Be sure to stop by and say hi every now and then.

So close to "barren"
BARRAN - PunkRockPaint's mental unproductivity; dullness; stupidity without Heartbreaking Cards of Staggering Genius.
Seriously, I can't wait to see my blog role sometime next winter and see a new heartbreaking post at the top of the list. It will be like finding $100 in your winter coat.
