I've seen what I believe to be the essence of pure comedy genius.
Strolling through the dense wilderness of webs that we affectionately refer to as "teh intarwebs," I stumbled across a beast of such galactic proportions that I couldn't believe it was actually there. I've seen and borne witness to strangeness before, but nothing I've imagined adds up to a shrimp running on an underwater treadmill, set to Yakkety Sax.
I've seen the softer side of heaven, and it's inhabited by a crustacean that's tasty with butter and lemon.
Furthermore, Elton John is a genius of a more decidedly musical sort.

You knew it had to happen...
You would think that I'd learn my lesson. You'd think that after one blog failed (a blog that could have BEEN something, dammit...coulda been a contender, even...) I'd hang up my literary hat and don one that looked something more suitable for daily life that didn't involve spending time in front of a computer typing endlessly about things that some people cared enough about to pay for, while others only took an interest when forced to.
Despite my lack of success with my previous attempt at making my status known as nothing less than a revered god among scribes, I've decided to come back with some new revelations on life, a little more grown-up look at things, and some more deviousness that could only come from the mind of yours truly.
That said, I'd like to welcome you all (and some of you back) to my second attempt at failure.
One can only hope that the second attempt will be at least more glorious than the first, but we'll see. After the release (and eventual fail) of my book, I hung up my typin' fingers for a while, let the book fester and linger, and eventually brought it out, blew the dust away from it, and cracked it open for a new group of readers to do what they do best: read.
Despite my catastrophic faceplant that we called "The Awesome Report," I received compliments on the book. People asked me why I stopped, and I told them the truth: "I burned out." I've had some old staff members from the report (Namely my graphics guy "livewyre") and some new people who are interested in making it again. An interest has been expressed at going live with Awesome Report in something that was tentatively called "Awesome Report v2.0" but I've decided against that route. I'm taking it back to basics.
The Awesome Report (now lost in the internet forever except for the one copy of the book that I alone have) was great. But, it's also past. I'm going to start over. The Awesome Report started right here on Blogger, and that's where this is starting. Where this goes will be nothing less than a grand online adventure, and we'll see who joins in to be my new Short-Round, and what other sidekicks I find along the way.
Without further ado, to my fans old and new, I present to you, that which you could call Awesome Report 2:
A Second Attempt At Greater Failure
If at first you don't suck-ceed, try, try again.
