I often meet people in funny ways, too. I remember you as someone who comes around and spends time to speak and think honestly and with respect for what's going on. And I am very often grateful for the wisdomz ya drop. You are right about the gig. Hey, I got some great things from it, and now it's time for something else, that's all.

Rather than being stuck in a perpetual conundrum, you got the hell out. Not many people can do that without flipping out. I'm not mad atcha, brother. Nice new site also. I haveta admit, I'm a little partial to the former design; but at least I've got the same (and probably <i>better</i>) content to read. Here's to new beginnings! Hey Nez,

Sorry about that. I had no idea how hard your daily life was at that time and only after a few weeks did I get the picture. Please continue to fall on the restraint side of the fence about the MTV gig. You must have given them an awful lot of quality knowing how you present the blog, but of course, Luddite that I am, I never saw any of the video pieces you did. Erase it all from your mind. Don’t bring it up any more. You have made exactly the right decision and the right points. This is how the big boys do it. I have a lot of respect for your restraint. It is a lost virtue today. Don’t dwell or mull. The amateurs and the immature do that. I am very sorry the gig washed out but I expected that. And I am very sorry to hear that the age old late pay day was a factor. Oh, I hate when that happens. I’ve been to that world of the mass media, I could go back. I never will. {they always paid me though} Congratulations on the new site, hermano. You are way better than MTV. If they were really sharp they would have given you your own outrageous show. If you go back quite a ways you will discover that we met on line with me in the role of irritating commenter.

So that's about 20 days late!!! Eh. It was just an accumulation of things I didn't feel so great about or that weren't working for me and after a while I realized I was just going through the motions. I don't like going through the motions and it's not even fair to the gig that I remain on past such a realization. I hear you on money. If it weren't for the fact that I can live on selling my art/design, I probably would have stuck with it. I've stuck with far worse. It's nice to have a choice these days. Suerte to you and your changes, too. Good to see you here. After that first modded comment, the rest of yours will go through like buttah.

That was a hell of a way to bow out, especially if they fucked with your bringing home the cured pork meats once or twice. I don't know that I could have been as mature. And also for staying true to your ideals. I'm trying to do the same thing, myself, but career changes are hard when you've got a steady gig and and a family to support (as if you didn't know). I'm just making it a slower process. Props, Nez. That was a hell of a way to bow out, especially if they fucked with your bringing home the cured pork meats once or twice.
