The Return of Slywalker

Well, I'm back. After a lengthy hiatus I have finally returned to the realm of smoking nerds, or THE smoking nerd, or whatever this place is. Now before you raging hordes of readers leave a mile long comments thread expressing you're anger at my extended absence, let me explain. There comes a time in every man's life where he must choose between awesome and a pile of horse crap. Unfortunetely, the horse crap is what keeps one from living in a box behind the chinese food restaurant. I am of course, talking about full time employment. And I'm not talking about the 40 hours a week down at the ol' mill kind of full time. This is hard core, 12 hrs a day, fifteen days straight, literally living at work kind of shit. Survival was my main instinct upon arrival in this crazy world of heavy machines and rough ass dudes. I am of course talking about a land far from Nerd Paradise, the oilfield.

But, after eight months of working the aforementioned shitty ass hours, and going mildly insane in the mean time, I have finally decided that I need to bring back some of the awesome (to prevent or at least slow further mental anguish). And thus I have come up with a few new and hilarious ideas that I will be bringing to a computer screen near you. And free of charge since I will of course be writing while at work, and therefore getting paid anyway.

Keep an eye out for the latest and greatest from Slywalker and all the other great writers at the Smoking Nerd, and as always.....Nerds Do It Better yo.
