A Much Deserved Vacation

Dear readers of The (formerly) Nate Way:

I am going on vacation from this blog for a brief period of time. I need a break. I will come back when this is fun again. Or not. My columns should continue through the summer but they may not. My plan is to come back and write again when I am off of probation and the world reverts back to normal (well, my kind of normal, anyway). As it is now, I am just not enjoying myself.

My reasons for this hiatus are threefold:

1. I have been working the same shtick for three years and it’s just not who I am anymore.

2. It is not in my best interest to write about my life for a while (probation and all that) and without me as my main subject, I’m just another hack working the same over-used college humor angles as everyone else out there and I can’t live with that. If I ain’t doing something new and unusual, I might as well be writing Operation Procedure Manuals or Feasibility Studies.

3. After more than three years, I kind of feel that the site has moved on. Either I’ve outgrown it or it’s outgrown me. Either way, it’s not near as much fun here as it used to be.

Please keep in mind that this is not goodbye. Much like that one general dude, I will return. Hopefully with a fresh perspective on life and the kind of comedy that can be perceived as “funny.”

Wish me luck!

Please.

Okay, fine. Fuck you then.

And see you in the fall.

Hopefully.

Oh, and if you really want to read my unique brand of comedy, please purchase my book, The Snippets and the Impure Tour, available from Lulu.com.

Please.

Okay, fine. Fuck you then.
