A word from the management of UrbanRoguery, Ltd.

I know. I know. It's been a while.

To longterm, avid readers of the blog, I do apologize.

I write to you from an internet cafe at the intersection of Dufferin and Bloor in the heart of Toronto. I've been tinkering on my alter ego's Facebook, OkCupid, and catching up on other email as I drain my cup from the Tim Horton's around the corner. It's quiet in here. I'm one of seven people, all tapping quietly as they do whatever it is they're doing. The blonde wearing headphones and holding her chin in her fist as she scrolls on some Tumblr. The longhaired brunette, bent over the keyboard in a way that would make a chiropractor wince, working on some paper for some class at whatever university she's attending.

For some time now, the blog has been nothing but themed nudes, and as much as I (and you, let's face it) enjoy such things, I really hadn't intended for this to just become about a series of nekkid pics. They were all pre-programmed, you see, in case I had long stints of silence on the blog for whatever reason.

And, uh, there's been a really long stint.

Add to the fact that I've had consistent problems with puters for way too long now, but my Real Life world went into utter chaos for over a year. Long story, and no, I'm not going to trouble you with details. Let's just say that the recession kicked my ass for a while, and after a legal battle with some people who thought they could pull one over on me, I'm just beginning to claw my way out of the bog I found myself in.

This is good.

But it also played hell on my dating life. Hard to show someone a good time when you're worried about making the rent. Not that I suddently became a Benedictine monk or anything; there were still some interesting experiences and delicious (and not so delicious) trysts... and I'm sure I'll get to all that in time.

But I wanted you guys to know that I'm still alive and hope to contributing more to the blog soon now. And hopefully with some snazzy new computer that I may actually be able to afford to get now that my world seems to be returning to some semblance of normal.

Hi again. I've missed you too.
