That's all folks???
One of my favorite blogs ended today and it has got me thinking...maybe its time to end on top with the olympic story...i can keep ranting about getting ass, not getting ass, getting super faded and then the next day the merits of living a clean sober life, working out, etc but to what. I keep talking about making changes, and in the next post a story about the very thing I was trying to avoid - I am a hypocrite. Maybe because of the Bombay attacks, the economy, Wall Street my great problems and gripes seems trivial. More importantly, maybe its time given how few people read this anymore...
I have not decided either way but this post from my favorite blog "In it but not of it" has gotten me thinking because I agree with everything he says...
"Reaching back to my old blog, I have been consistently posting for nearly four years. Four years isn't a long time if you are measuring a marriage or something important, but for semi-daily posts about loud co-workers, gripes about douchebag classmates, and everything in between, its a pretty long time I guess. Or maybe not.
Regardless, it's been one long, boring, gripe-filled ride, and today that ride is over. All good things must end. My blog isn't that good, but it too must end. So, I guess that the lesson is, all mediocre things must end as well. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I have a myriad of reasons for stopping. My job is really starting to demand a lot of me (Lie) I've been doing a lot of volunteering with local charities, which takes up much of my free time (Lie) I am planning a run for Congress in 2010 (pipe dream) and I feel there is some stuff on here which could hurt me politically (Very true)
Plus, maybe I am growing up (Lie) Maybe posting my darkest thoughts and deepest wishes on the internet for anyone to see is beneath me now (Lie) Or, maybe I am just lazy and fickle and bored and have decided to spend more of my time being unproductive in other ways Regardless of the real reason, I am done (True)(Possible Lie)
Of course, in two days, two weeks, or two months, I may very well emerge from my self-imposed blogging exile and begin posting here again. Or, maybe I'll start a new blog. Or write a book that probably won't get published. Regardless, take this goodbye with a grain of salt.
I should wrap this up. It seems really douchey to be at all sentimental about ending a blog, mostly because I have no sentiment about it whatsoever, and also, because it's a blog. Blogs are inherently stupid. But I will say, the thing I enjoyed the most about blogging was hearing from people who read my self-indulgence."
