Absence Makes the Heart Go Waitaminute Untalented is Still Happening?!!!
So. I've been gone a while from Steemit. I'm sure I was missed by my teeming millions of screaming fans. Oh yeah.

Anyway, it's been a heck of a month. For reasons too arcane and stupid to get into, I can't go full-disclosure and say why (and, finally-finally nobody cares anyway)

<center>![image](https://img.esteem.ws/w7zhoa2iur.jpg)</center>
<center>*source? don't need no steenkin' source, that's **my** pic, son*!</center><br>

Okay. So let's see how hard we can vaguebook this.

Three weeks ago .. I forget what my last post was even about but it's there for your perusal if you need a refresher on my particular brand of quasi-well-written rambling nonsense.

Okay. Let's try this again. 

Three weeks ago, I was at the end of my rope. Burned out, frustrated at life, tangled up in sins of mostly-omission. The path that seemed so clear became muddy and full of thorns. Also, poison ivy and those flying cloud bastards from Super Mario Bros that would drop Spinies on you.

And now we interrupt this program to stop and do 50 pushups, one for every ten upvotes I am expecting to get from this heartbreaking work of staggering genius that your eyes are currently blessed to peruse.

Aaaand ... that's 43 pushups. Don't worry, never fear, I'll find some way to punish myself for not making it. To fifty.

<center>**NOPICTURES**</center>
<center>*alright men, **operation: make the nopictures tag happen** is now a go*</center><br>

But back to the non-story. Having found myself on a murky path with an end visible to the naked eye but too increasingly distant to be practical, I thought to myself: "hey Edu, why are you putting yourself through this? You're like that guy in the quote who wrestles with a pig and, no matter how strong he is, the pig still wins because it drags him into the mud, they both get dirty and only the pig likes it."

Except in this instance, I am *also* the pig 🐖 and the pig 🐷 is me.

*Lakitu! That was it! *Man* Shigeru Miyamato took* all *the best drugs!*

So I took a hard look at the island of disarray and disrupted, as the tech marketing guys would say. No, *pivoted* is the term. I made like a lever and moved the world. Different choices, same me. Hallelujah, chunky peanut butter.

Then I got stuck into a three-week offline project that paid handsomely but kept me off Steemit till this very moment. The End.

 ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/fjrk7r4t2w.jpg)

*Okay, thanks for reading. As with the last #untalented thingy, this one was **also** written under the influence of severe sleep deprivation (think I am/might be on my 36th hour now 👀?) Purely a ridiculous coincidence I assure you all. Probably won't happen again*

*PS*
*I still have no frelling idea what exactly untalented is about other than somehow being interesting while simultaneously in the the process of being exactly yourself. @surpassinggoogle's posts are no help because they get so overloaded with comments your browser crashes. That's on my bucket list now by the way; to one day write something so goddamn interesting that people crash their browsers trying to get to me.*

At times, it's worth going through @surpassinggoogle post even with the loads of comments. I've even learnt a thing or two from those commenting.
