I’ve felt invisible recently, which has been reflected in my online status, communication with most people, and in my reflection not appearing in any mirrors. Ok, maybe that last one was a lie, but I have been struggling quite a bit lately.
Since leaving my last great job, I’ve been bouncing around a lot, not really knowing what I’ve been looking for and not finding it. I HAVE worked with some great people and on some great projects but have lost my ability to focus on my strengths and set goals.
I’ve started and stopped numerous projects, felt alienated by people as well as alienated others. Anyway, I hit bottom just over a week ago. If I haven’t been in contact at all since then, the only excuse I can offer is that I have been completely self-indulgent and can only ask for forgiveness. It got so bad I even considered becoming religious. HA!
I have been living in the internet and aside from very few people have felt l haven’t found somebody to wink and nod with about the absurdity of life (in Ohio. – Ed.)
I have accepted my entire lack of business acumen and completely forgotten about my ability to be funny. Sorry for complaining, but I’m seeking forgiveness from the internet. I’ll now resume life as it was. And I actually do have a lot of things to show for my time freelancing. I haven’t shared it all, but I’ve been working a lot on some upcoming projects.
So I’m here, I’m sorry and I’m recommitted to enjoying life in Columbus and on the internet. In the words of a good friend of mine: “Man Up Tyler!”
I love you all and don’t forget it.

I hope that I am one of those very few people. Come work with me.
p.s. no drama on my internet.
p.p.s like the updated background, hope you didn’t do that because of me.
Wah! wah! wah!
Bring your lack of business acumen out on Wednesday to the coworking meetup.
Where it’ll have good company—my lack of dancing skills.
Does that mean Bryce will be singing karaoke while he’s dancing badly?
Tyler, they should have put it on your ticket. The main reason we all stay here in Ohio is for that sunken feeling that arrives like clockwork in February. Its as close as man can ever get to emulating the great Bear. (Except that the ^$%^& bear actually LOSES weight while comatose in winter, while I just pack more on.)
Sure, we let the Seattle-ites moan publicly about their gray skys, but the almanac tells the truth that we see far less of the sun annually than they. Besides, every election year, we get to have all the beltway bandits come and throw a giant pity party for the bumpkin rust-belt hicks on the Lake.
So, Treat yourself–take a cruise to West Virginia or KY, and see how the lesser souls live. (Don’t go to Michigan, though–they’re not right.)
