*taps microphone* Umm, hello? Is this thing on?

Hello and welcome to Flesh-head's Treehouse of Random Goodness. My name is Sean and I am a lazy bastard. See, the original intent of this here site was to be an outlet for all my obsessions: music, art, technology, video games, and comics. Especially comics. Eventually, everything boiled down to a set schedule of remembrances on bands I love and Comics On A Budget, my weekly review of my pull list with a eye towards affordability. The inherent problem with a rigid format is my inability to pay attention to any one thing for any sort of significant time. I like to call it Shiny Object Syndrome. Like a magpie, I will find some new thing that interests me, dive head first, and then grow bored within a few months. A shining example of this is actually right in front you. Just look at the posting dates, specifically the gaps in the dates. Full-bore brain venting and then nothing. For months. 

Creative outlets should not be hard for me to come by. There is the band I am in, The Kill Junkies, where I play rhythm and slide guitar. Sing a bit of back-up, also.  My beloved Moleskine hardcover notebook goes with me everywhere for a quick jotting of ideas and random quotes I hear throughout my day. Recently, The Current Wife and I purchased a nice, new digital camera, which, truthfully, fulfills two of my passions: art and technology. Delving into photgraphy has been challenging yet worthwhile. Yet, something felt like it was missing. Something needed to be addressed.

Last night, I had an epiphany. I missed The Treehouse, but I did not miss what it had evolved into: long-winded posts about my interests that ultimately left me drained and sleepy. Most of the posts at The Treehouse were written well after midnight, all the while a cigarrette dangling from my lips, and, inevitably, led to sleepytime occuring roughly around dawn. So, to counteract this, The Treehouse is going back to the core. No more set schedules. Gone is the Comics On A Budget weekly occurance. Most importantly, word count is no longer a priority. The Treehouse is reverting back to where it should be. My interests, whatever they are at that particular moment, will be showcased. It is my site, after all.

So, welcome to The Treehouse. Whatever the over-under on me sticking with this is, I'll take the over.
