And now for a slight intermission in services.

And now for a slight intermission in services.

Back in the olden days, I used to have these things called “summer vacations” where I didn’t have to do shit for three months straight. Then I got dragged kicking and screaming into society, and since then, I haven’t had more than fifteen minutes off at a time from doing some various kind of hard labor, unless you count sleep, which I don’t. But I’ve caught wind of something at my job called “vacation time” which gives me at least two to three weeks of paid time off a year. I would assume since my job provides me with this “vacation time,” and that blogging is, by all respects, my second job, that I probably have some “vacation time” saved up here at the SodBlog as well. Based on this assumption, I am going on a blogger’s vacation.

Anyway, what that means is that for the next odd amount of days or so, I will not be using the computer. At all. The necessary preparations have been taken.

In my absence, I’m making Nate the new Erik. Nate will be replaced by the admin, which means the admin will need a name. His new name is Ben, and Ben is the new Nate. Treat Erik/Nate and Nate/Ben with the respect they deserve. For the next week or so, the only blogging I’ll be doing is where instead of posting long-winded streams in insanity onto the Internet for the world to see and be horrified by, I will instead be keeping it within the confines of my own human skull. I believe I used to call it schizophrenia.

Enjoy your respite. It will be all too brief.

  1. I’m the new Erik? Does this mean that there will be a harsh public backlash against me as the old Erik is no longer stocked in grocery stores and mini-marts the world over? Will I be branded an abomination and lead Sodblog to immediately re-introduce the old Erik as “Erik Classic” to diffuse the drop in sales?

    Or, does this just mean that I should start working on a Jesus-ish mane of my own?

    Also, since I’m the new Erik, can I no longer write my “Growing Up Nate” column? Should I start writing a “Growing Up Erik” column, where I make up funny, entirely fictional stories about your formative years? I really needed to do more preparation for this new role within the company.

  2. Don’t worry, Nate, I will continue your tasteful saga of immaturity.
