Off-Air

I've been away for so long,
I can't remember how long it's been.
Let's see.
Okay, it's been fifteen months, a little
over a year, since I've been off-air.
Has it been that long? I hardly noticed.
A lot has changed, since then.
And I'm not just talking about the very
face, facade, and faculties of Radio;
but also the very
face, facade, and faculties of me.
Radio has changed, and so have I.
Surprising, shocking even, as it may seem;
but I don't miss it.
Back in the day, I would never imagine
myself uttering such sacrilege.
Here and now, I'm singing a different tune.
It's just the way it is.
So, it's funny to know that some people
actually think I still want to get back
on-air.
Numerous occasions have lended themselves
to this fallacy school of thought.
May I just reiterate..
I am off-air, and it shall remain as such.
Get it through your thick skull, moron..

Once, a mere chide on someone was taken with a serious
dose of salt. The ulterior motive behind the
swipe was to elicit a reaction; and elicit, it did.
So much so, that the person in question, as well as
his comrades, took it as a serious query.
Much to my amusement.
Seriously, methinks I've passed the torch.
To whom.. the hell should I know.
Radio ain't the Radio I once knew.
It's an entirely different mutation.
But.. that's another story.
