Why I've been no posting?

My family has been going through too many painful moments in the last few months, which we've been trying to get past, get through and go forward from. But the problem is, every time we get through one obstacle, somebody throws us a whopper of a curve ball to trip us up again.

First I was kicked out of comedy classes because of a terrible circumstance. Then my aunt's been dealing with cancer for the last few months, was fighting through it, then went into a coma. The hospital in queens all but wrote her off, but luckily her actual doctor saw through their laziness, got her to their hospital in Manhattan, worked on her and she's still alive, awake now, slowly getting over the initial effects of chemo. She's dealing with pneumonia now, but she'll get past that too.

Then on Memorial Day, while I sat down to show Danyell The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, I got a dreadful call from my brother, letting me know my uncle's apartment went up in flames. Nothing is left. His life of collecting figures, baseball cards, movie memorabilia and other various goodies is all gone. He only has the clothes he wore to work that day left and his car. He's a wreck, and for good reason. And he dreads that he didn't get insurance on his collection, like he had said he would get so many times before.

So I apologize for not being able to get the day by day play by play up and running on here. I should only have one hand right now, but hell, I'm giving myself a break right now. This is my birthday week, so something good is bound to happen, right?

Please?

Well, I will be finishing the last article I was writing, the top 10 or so list of my favorite childhood movies. I'll also be starting up a few other articles. The 88 cent CD review will be one. Bargain Bin Bonanza for cheap DVDs will be another. And a RACISM EXPLOSION as well will be an article presented by my good friend Jonathan Ramses. Plus a ton of other people will be getting articles ready soon. My friend T. Johnson will have a few, as well as friends Andrew, Sam, Danyell, comix by Althea and many other people to be announced.

The site www.CombinationsFollow.com will go live on July 1st. It has to. I need something to go right for a change.

But hopefully I won't die tomorrow. If not, another article will be presented.

Excelsior and all that bullshit.
