u know what
i think the absolute worst cancellation of entertainment/media/expression is when someone stops doing blog entries in my life, i've followed 5 or 6 different personal blogs and all of them are gone now this has left me feeling more empty than i would've expected you go to a person's website or blog and they constantly talk about what's important to them.. they show u what they're doing, what they're thinking about.. what they dislike and what they appreciate it goes on and on constantly for a year, maybe two years, maybe even three.. you really begin enjoying seeing what this person is up to even if you're not interested in what they're talking about at that particular moment.. you get used to taking a minute out of your life to see what is going on in someone else's then for some reason a week will go by and they haven't posted anything, or perhaps a month.. or perhaps one day u will go to their page and it says something like "this account no longer exists" and you literally feel like you've lost a friend or something really important to you has been ripped away maybe this is how people feel when they lose a pet.. a dog can't talk but you get attached to that dog.. a person's blog is just a lot of random thoughts on the internet but you get attached to it it is one of my biggest pet-peeves when a person has a decent blog and they stop updating it.. it is wildly annoying and almost even painful to me its almost like a panic type reaction.. "where are they?" "what are they doing?" "why aren't they posting anymore?" i find it to be a bit selfish to be honest.. yeah u may want to take your website down but what about the people who have grown attached to it? some people may have grown accustomed to seeing your thoughts, views, and opinions.. your quirks and awkward habits.. your flaws and your triumphs and you just take your website down and you don't even give a reason why real talk i find it to be annoying and its my goal to keep my site up here for everyone for as long as i can so people can come through and perhaps see a bit of their self in me, or maybe just be like "dang pool boy is bonkers" and peep what i'm up to sidenote example: when i go on dates i tell my roommates how it went.. and it got to where they'd come up to me out of nowhere and be like "u been on any dates lately?" or "how are things with the ladies?" or whatever one time i had a really bad date and said i didn't want to talk about it and they were all like dang i wonder what happened? and they REALLY wanted to know at that point i eventually told them what happened when i was less pissed off about it.. but what if i was just like "you know what? i'm not tellin u guys about my dates anymore" that would be wack as fck and its the same type of deal with a personal blog.. u tell ur story to a point where people want to know what happens next.. ..so its annoying for a person to just up and delete their whole site cuz the reader is left sitting there like WTF soooo i hope this website stays up for a long time and means something to someone.. i don't want to be like those people who do a big website or blog and just up and quit one day and i understand sometimes u want to just not be bothered by your website or whatever... sometimes u don't feel like saying anything.. if ur in one of those moods do like me and announce a break or vacation.. i have enough respect for the readers to say "i'm taking a 2 week break" as opposed to just disappearing i don't get paid for this ish, i do it for myself and for anyone who may be following.. this is about having something to look at when u get online.. its about community, its about discussions, and self expression to be honest with u guys, i really don't know any other personal blog that is updated as consistently as mine so i hope this means something to someone.. and i'm gnna try to be here for as long as possible whether people come through and read it or not.. i'm really trying to hold this personal blog thing together and do it with integrity so while all ur other favorite personal blogs end up getting deleted or updated only 5 times a year.. i hope to be here posting ish like i have nothing better to do i'm trying to play for keeps with this thing so lets go
