Friday, May 2nd, 2008Motto: Sticks and Stones will Break My Bones, but it’s the Lack of Care that will Kill Me
> I’m writing this to tell everybody that, unless there is some overwhelming surge of oppression against my decision, this will be my last update. I no longer see a point in taking an hour out of my day every time I want to do an update, just to have nobody read it. Yes. I know people read this. Mom, Dad, Alissa, Brandon, Christine, I talk to all of you already as it is. I do appreciate you reading this on a semi-regular basis, too- so don’t get me wrong on that. I don’t really see a point in any form of one-way communication, and I especially don’t see a point in trying to excel if nobody is there to read. I mean, essentially I’m writing all of these for myself now. So what’s the point?
> My life is nowhere near as interesting as it should be, or needs to be to make a publication like this that somebody would actually give a shit about. I’ll dumb down the language here because I see no point in continuing on in some sort of bullshit intellectualist tone. I am smart, but I don’t have to be all the time. I am boring, and I don’t really need to continue to prove it to everybody who reads this by writing about stupid ass things like my “epiphanies,” which in reality are just realizations that everybody has already made, and dealt with or decided it wasn’t worth dealing with. I would go back to just saying what I do, like I used to, but here’s the shocking truth- I don’t do anything. I would go back to writing weird fucking little things that I notice like Jerry Sinfeld, but I don’t notice little stupid things anymore because I don’t have time to. Even if I did, what’s the point of letting them live any farther than me thinking of them?
> I’m sorry if this choice has disappointed you. I’m even more sorry that I have been forced to make it.
> I Never Thought the Column Would Die, but the Truth is It’s been Dead for a While Now.
