Jake,

Isn't there that basic rule of 'never aplogise for not blogging'? My blog is having phases of dead silence caused by other commitments in my life. And while it's certainly nice sharing knowledge with each other on the web it isn't the most urgent thing to do. Is it?

Cheers,

Christian

Well, we all need a 48 hours days, atually when I try to a lot of things, i sleep just, 4 or 3 hours a day, and after all I am tired , but the most wonderfull moments in my soul and mind are the spent with my family (wife, fathers, brother..etc.), ..there is a pharse ..... and i always keep with me ..because i can not forget it when I sleep a few, " You can do anything, but no everthing".

I follow you since 2003, nice job.

You sound just like me Mike. It doesn't stop me *getting* to sleep, as such, but every now and then, if I wake up in the early hours, it can stop me getting *back* to sleep -- worrying about the future.

Likewise, wouldn't trade it for anything. No amount of stress can be worse than commuting to an 8 hour stint in an office.

Jake -

I hear you ... I get asked the same thing several times a week. My typical answer is "right now things are fine but I don't about 6 months from now" because, well, I don't.

Since running my own gig fulltime my anxiety levels have increased 2, 3, 4 times and these days I lie awake at night wondering what the future holds... but I wouldn't trade it for going back to working for someone else.

Just have to keep pounding the pavement.
