and thanks for all the fish
well kiddies, after almost eight years of blogging, i’m throwing in the towel. back when i “restarted” things in january, i mentioned a bunch of reasons for my growing disinterest in many parts of the internet. those reasons are behind my leaving.
i’m also way busier at work and at home than i used to be, and don’t have time to write three entries a day, or even one well thought out entry. the things i have to say are not unique or revolutionary, and you can find 27 other bloggers saying exactly what i would say about any given topic. i don’t feel that i’m adding to the discourse.
plus, it would save us some money if we got rid of our hosting. so, there is that consideration.
at any rate, i’ll be shutting this thing down in a week or so. the email address associated with this domain will go away when i drop my hosting, so if you’d like a way to contact me besides that, leave a comment here and i’ll give you an email address. those of you that have my personal yahoo or gmail address already don’t need to drop a line. or, if you’d like to be notified if i start blogging somewhere else at some point in the future, leave a comment and i’ll email you if i rejoin the legions of bloggers.
i am a bit sad to be leaving the whole scene, because “blogger” was one of the top five ways that i identified myself. there has been way too much expansion and i no longer have a network of blogging friends to whom i relate and who relate to me. people quit blogging or their main topics changed or they got pregnant or they went crazy. and it’s too much effort to search for new people that i might like because there are so many millions of sites to sift through. so the reasons for my enjoyment of blogging are mostly gone, so i figure it’s a good time to bow out semi-gracefully.
