So, I disappear for about nine months and find my Tumblr has been hacked by some offshore adult website. No, it was NOT me posting hundreds of pictures of girls on my blog. I have changed my password and deleted all those posts and hope it will be back to normal.

I sincerely apologize for the spam coming from my tumblr. Thank you for those who did not remove me.

So, how am I doing? I am going through some really tough times. Three of my kids have been hospitalized in the past year. I also had some BS legal issues to deal with. My car died. And basically been overall depressed. I still submerge myself in the news everyday, but just stopped posting about it.
