I’ve been away for a while now. I’ve had some time to think.

And I think I will be making some changes to this blog.

Change #1

I’m going back to the original format. Not only will I post , but I will once again start posting about .

But it won’t be the same ol’-same ol’…

Change #2

I’m outing myself. Not because California just passed that new law and I wanna get married, but because I’m not gonna hide behind a fake persona anymore. Poke is just a nickname I’ve been using on the web over the past few years. My real name is Nicklaus Louis. I will continue to go by my nickname, but it will no longer be as a disguise for the true me. Which means…

Change #3

I will no longer wax poetic about things I’ve never experienced or have no desire to ever run afoot of. Those posts will be disappearing from the site as I go back through and find them.

So you might be asking, “Why?”

Because I have a lot of things to say in a hunorous way all the live-long day that the fake Poke never allowed me to say. That may sound weird, but follow with me if you can…or dare.

I created the character of Poke to be a crass middle aged man who’d been through a divorce and had an extremely negative outlook on life. I on the other hand am only 31, am happily married, and am trying my damndest not to have a negative outlook on life. Some things I thought about writing were not Poke material (to be quite honest, I ran out of Poke material a long time ago). So with this change I can write about everything that comes across my mind without having to pigeonhole it into Poke’s way of thought.

Anyway, if can do it, so can I.

Poke
