So I was out for like a week. And it wasn’t my fault. I was actually on the verge of writing my next post that would discuss the Filipino perspective of the global language that is English when I realized I couldn’t even access my own site to write a new article. Nobody but a handful of people (me not included) could access my wonderful content to make their somewhat miserable lives just a wee bit better. You can’t blame me for not giving you your weekly (or bi-weekly, I really don’t know how my blogging schedule works) dose of The Critic’s original. It’s funny how I sometimes refer to myself in the third person. Not good funny. It’s like weird funny. Which, essentially, is not good.

Any road, point is, it’s not my idea of a vacation from blogging. I wasn’t even planning on it. My blog was attacked. Or so my web host said. And I’m sure they’re not going to lie to me because I give them a hefty sum of money every freakin’ month, damn it. According to their email:

This is to inform you that your server is currently facing SYN attack and that’s the reason why the server is slowed down and unable to respond to every request. For more information about SYN attack, refer the url: – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_attack

So either you’re guilty or you had nothing to do it. Pacquiao fans, I know it’s your doing. And you can’t stop me. In fact, I have prepared the strongest comeback ever. The meanest in the history of the world. Or the blogosphere. It doesn’t matter. I’m brilliant and I rock like that.
