What's all this then?

About a week ago I got an e-mail from my mom:

"What is up with you??? You haven't answered any of my calls or e-mails. Are you sick? Let me know you are OK. I am beginning to worry about you.

Love, Mom."

Sweet, right? But kind of nuts too, in the way that only a loving mother can be. Because, honestly, outside of a missed phone call on my birthday and an e-mail prior to this one, I haven't heard from my mom at all. But from what she wrote in this last e-mail, quoted above, it's like she's been e-mailing me constantly and trying to call me all the time, sitting by the phone and ringing her hands in agitation because she hasn't heard from me in a few weeks.
Honestly, we've gone much longer than that without talking. What's the big deal? Is this a mom thing? A woman thing? Because I don't see why she's getting all worked up.
Still, since my mom is so obviously concerned about my welfare and our lack of communication I have started this blog. This way, she can come here and check for updates and be comforted by the knowledge that, even though she may not hear from me for a while, that doesn't mean that I'm dead. Hence, this blog's title, "Yes, I Am Still Alive."
Here, I will provide updates on my life for the concerned and/or the curious. This is my second blog and I'm going to try and keep this one PG, because I'm making this mainly for my family. That said, you can probably expect me to use some foul language, but I'll try to refrain from posting porn. So, the contents here should be Safe For Work if you want to check for updates while on the job.
Speaking of updates, you can expect them to be fairly frequent. I post daily in my other blog and will probably do the same here. I talk about all kinds of stuff, whatever has stuck to the flypaper of my mind, so one day I might be complaining about The Job and the next I might be commenting on an article I've read in The Times.
Hopefully, it'll all be entertaining.
Comments are welcome and, for the moment, unmoderated. But at the first sign of a spambot that will probably change. Responses are not expected. So, no pressure.
And I think that, as first posts go, this one has gone pretty well.
Expect more in the future.
Still alive. - G.
