it's been kinda quite here for some time now. life has changed for me, in terms of how i need to manage my time and my writing. i keep the blog alive, only because i hope to continue to use it as a way to write more, once i discover a healthier rhythm in this new season. i'm working towards it. in the meantime, my fanaticism for all things black and gold has not waned. fan is still short for fanatic. and while i haven't been posting my fanatical pictures and rantings this fall, i have been no less interested rabid. so, as the steelers now finish preparations for their second playoff game of the season, against the kfc chefs, i just wanted to offer a subtle HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO!!!!!!!! and a reminder that, no matter what happens, i'm a steelers fan for life! also, watch this video and try not to punch a hole in the wall because of the sheer adrenaline coursing through your system. and if you're still here, read this article by cam he
