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 (True) Regardless of the real reason, I am done (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. So you can always reach me at initbutnotofit@gmail.com
Thanks for reading.
