Hiatus Over, For Now
Wassup? I’m back, for now.
Am I crazy, or did Profunksticated really get more than 10,000 hits while he was away?
Profunksticated (the blog) earned a whopping 45 cents via Google Adsense, but that was back in April.
I’m still commuting between the DMV and the Philly-South NJ. It’s getting old.
I’ve learned in my first year on the job I need to improve my attention to detail, a recurring theme throughout my one-year performance review.
I’ve fallen off the wagon and gained 10 pounds in the last month or so. I’ve got to hit the workout room once again and lay off the Dairy Queen blizzards with Oreo cookies and Heath Bar chunks.
I’m three courses into my master’s program in information systems management. That class in object-oriented programming (Java) kicked my azz. I had to get help from a Java developer in my company. I got an “A.”
In July, my brother married the chick-on-the-side co-worker with whom he had a son. You may recall the kid was born less than three months before his wife died, which was 18 months ago. The new wife had moved into his house a couple months befor they got married, much to my nephews’ chagrin. This week, my older nephew moved out following a huge blowup between he and his father. Guess where he’s laying his head? That’s right, our house. There are more extremely gory details, but I’m only hearing one side of the story, which is my nephew’s.
My sister and my dad attended the wedding. Sis found it hard to watch; Dad was sort of neutral. My mother didn’t show; she conveniently was out of town. The new wife’s family was overjoyed, acting as if there was nothing wrong with the adulterous relationship she was part of. I guess the bottom line is that I cannot control what two adults do, but when it impacts the kids, then I have to be concerned.
Hey stranger!! I just popped over here to see if you were around again. What a surprise!!
Sorry about the weight gain and the family dra(trau)ma. I hope your nephews can find the peace they need without any further damage to their psyches. Parents really need to think long and hard…long and hard.
Welcome back, Pro!
Thanks much, A. I’m back but I still probably won’t be posting as frequently before because of school and work. And yes, thanks for the wishes for my nephews. By the way, how’s Dfly?

As far as I know, Dfly is well. I do not know if she’s had the baby yet or not. When last I communicated with her, she had not.
Hello again, A. Sorry so long to see your comment. Hope all is well with both you and Dfly.
