Blogging Off

Well, it's time to officially proclaim what you probably already knew: This blog is dead. Kaput. Finito. It is no more. This is an ex-blog.

I gave myself a couple weeks to see if anything bloggable popped into my head, but it's just not happening, so I'm signing off for good and retiring from the Superblog.

"But Paul," you might ask, "why 'retire' from the blog? Even if you can't think of anything to post now, maybe you will sometime down the road. Why not keep your options open?"

That's an excellent question, hypothetical reader. But here's the thing: I don't want to pull a Mike and just abandon the blog for months with no explanation. You fine readers deserve more respect than that, I say. If I'm not going to post anymore-- and I'm not-- then I'm going to straight-out tell you so. Which I am. That way, you won't spend every waking hour wondering, "Is Paul going to post? Should I keep clicking Refresh? Oh, curses, I'm so very confused!!" (Because I'm sure that's how you spend every waking hour.) Well, consider the mystery solved.

Besides, I don't really like having this blog thing hanging over my head, to the point where I'm futilely attempting to keep it alive by half-assedly posting something every couple of weeks. At that point, it just feels like homework. Plain and simple, I've lost interest. Sorry.

When Mike pitched the idea of the blog, the idea was that he and I would push each other to keep it going, like a competition. It was a good idea in theory, but he forgot to account for our extreme lack of competitive spirit. And our overwhelming laziness. And that's how we end up where we are now: with the Superblog on its last legs. Alas. It was fun while it lasted.

So, that's it for me. I won't be posting here again, and I suspect Mike won't, either. I'd say goodbye, but...I mean, anyone who's actually reading this blog, I probably see you in person almost every weekend. So, um...see you then!
