It’s been so long. Too long really.

I think we bit off more than we could chew.

You know how sometimes when you’re young, you think you can rule the world, be the best, and leave the rest ‘of em’ in the dust? I think we got a little too caught up in that. We thought too broadly, acted too hastily, and posted way too frequently.

Then one day it stopped. All of it.

There was no discussion, there was no announcement, and there were no tears. It seemed the well just dried up. I mean really, how many youtube clips was Your Little Hoodrat Friend! really supposed to put up a week? How many of them did you actually see here for the first time? Yeah, that’s what I thought. So we did the only thing that we thought was logical. We cut out the lights, unplugged the machines, and let this thing wither away. We let months pass. It was certainly the right thing to do.

Then we realized something. We missed our baby. Maybe not that much at first; but certainly enough to be a little curious how she was doing. We realized that we were superficial that first time. We realized that we were too worried about how many friends we had; too worried that no one was listening.

We thought we could be your favorite place on the web to avoid the bullshit. Next thing you know, all we were was full of bullshit.

Anyways, we’re gonna stop rambling now.

Today we’re back. Same name. Brand-fucking-spanking new. The old shit is gone. Banished from the cobwebs of the internet. We’ve gotten rid of the snarky pseudonyms (were they really that funny? probably not). We’ve gotten rid of ‘I wanna be fancy, but I’m not’ graphics; Killed the ads (for now); Deaded all the extraneous side-navigation; And put the focus squarely where it should be: the words that our stubby little figures churn out while we sit in the glow of an LCD. We’ve moved back into our parents basement (where all good little bloggers should be). We think we like the idea of writing for ourselves, rather than the faceless tens that used to see us. We think this might work a little better this time.

Time to open the spigot. One drop at a time. Drip. Drip…

(PS we cannot guarantee that we will be any more less mature than last time, only that we will try to be more interesting, original, and fun)
