Strangely enough … 4/18/2008

… in the past week, I’ve had several requests to come back and start writing again.  I don’t know how many of you still come back in, and I know Chewy was kind enough to send me an e-mail about someone purportedly “faking” the Snark, and asking me to let him know if I was still alive.

I am still alive.  Still kicking.  Still busy.  Still dispensing my particular brand of justice to phone using Mercedes drivers.

No, I haven’t thought about making a comeback, never even been tempted in the least.  But, if there are enough requests, I might be inclined to pick up the keyboard again, and resume.  That’s a big maybe.  No guarantees. But I have been writing though, just not posting.  Here’s an excerpt …

” … with a particularly hard jolt, the bottom dropped out of the helo, as a huge flash of lightning threw everyone and everything into stark relief.   As we heard the turbine whining hard as the pilot applied more throttle to stop the helo from crashing into the treetops, all of us also heard a rather ominous “clonk … clonk … clonk” sound of a metallic object dropping onto the aluminium floor of the helo, and rolling off somewhere under the seats.  I looked down at my chest and noticed that there was a horrible empty space where a fragmentation grenade had previously hung from my webbing …”

I’ll be in Langkawi for the weekend, it’s my brother’s birthday. Going to visit him there.

Next week?

Nice to see you writing again, Snark.

Don’t know why I dropped in today, but my mouse finger was compelled to click on your link by forces beyond my perception.

RHR is done. Gone West, it has. I’m back in school now, and with my renewed family obligations, there simply is no time left for Rambling anymore.

But I still surf the blogs every now and then.

Stay in touch, and Semper Fi…

Ride well,

Thank you. I can’t tell you how much I have missed the words, the wisdom……
Whatever “Come back Iaaaaaa” means, include one from me too.
So much to tell you.

I’m not sure how many requests would constitute “enough”, but here’s one more.

Request submitted.

I bookmarked your blog 2 years ago and have kept it there since. Like Gary, I just had the urge to clicked it to see if anything’s changed.

And what a pleasant surprise.

I look forward to the day when the snark picks up the ‘pen’ again.

Fucking rock it on, mate. No “Girl Friday” needed, IMHO, just get those tales going again, and get the rubber sticky.
And let’s roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do what your heart moves you to do. If a person’s merely going through the motions, or feeding a hungry animal, it’s not going to be right. That being said, I did enjoy your fresh viewpoints. In a world where there’s a lot of carbon copies of political correctness, your iconoclastic writings were refreshing.

Great You’re back. Miss your bikers stories.

14. NSDS3HvLDjJd - 5/8/2008
