The Finale, no encores
It’s finally happened. Yes, we all thought it would never happen, but it has. The day has finally arrived. After much thought and deliberation, I’ve decided that after this post, no more will be made...indefinitely. Yes that’s right. Wayland has committed blog suicide.
I’m retiring from blogging.
No, that wasn't a typo. You read it right. It's for real. Hence I will try to make this one a good one, although the success of that proposition is highly improbable, given the quality of my other posts. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks, after all, but old dogs can still try.
Why retire you ask? Well lots of things. And before you start, it’s not lack of things to say or time. I could go on and on and on if I really wanted to, and surely I would be able to find the time once a week to write a short blog here and there. But, I’m just too tired of all this stuff. I can’t be bothered. I’ve just decided to give it all up. I’m hanging up my typing mitts.
Another major reason is my mood at the moment. I don’t know what’s happened to me, I’m just feeling very down at the moment. Probably what I predict to be the outcomes of my studies this semester. Just feeling very useless right now, and all the things that I have done to cheer me up have been very temporary...a brief instant of absolute joy and extreme happiness and it’s all gone, like it’s taunting me. Getting oh so close so I can just reach out to it and touch it yet not be able to grasp it and hold on to it. Plus there’s SO much stuff I want to say...but won’t, it’s too difficult to say them...and although saying them might bring some relief and joy...well, let’s just leave it at that. Argh! There is HEAPS AND HEAPS AND HEAPS of stuff I want to say! Damn this...and plus I seriously don’t think anyone reads my ranting anymore anyway, except maybe two or three people, and I’m sure no one will miss it. Not exactly life-changing stuff here (maybe no one will even notice it’s gone...haha only joking, my life isn’t that sad...not yet anyway).
To reiterate one of the recurring motives of this post...so much stuff I want to say I think I could write a mini-thesis on it! But, no, must be strong. And before you people start jumping to conclusions, it’s most likely not what you’re thinking, and I REALLY don’t want to talk about it. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY don’t want to. Really. Get the point? So please don’t bring it up with me. Well you might be able to guess what it is. I mean there are some freakishly smart people out there!
And no, this isn’t a spur of the moment thing. I really don’t think I will be back blogging again. I know that I’ve broken promises before, and I know that today I might not have been in the best of moods (well not just today really...I think my tolerance levels have been way low for a while now...but that’s part of the stuff I didn’t want to talk about...so there, something to tease you guys about). Will I be back? Probably not, I haven’t got any planned comeback posts at the moment, but who knows what tomorrow will bring? What will I do in the mean time? I don’t know. Certainly not blogging (as I’ve spent this whole post trying to say).
Now, I know you must all be curious to know what these unsaid things are. I sure would be, so it’s okay, I understand your yearning (if it exists) to know. But rest assured poor brain, no matter how much they pressure me. No matter what pain they put me through. No matter the teasing and taunting. I will not budge. Trust me, I am (mostly) a man of my word.
Maybe in another life we will meet once more in the blogging world, and have a strong sense of déjà vu, but I’m quite adamant at this point in time and in this dimension that there will be no more posts. I know I’ve said that many, many times already and am just rehashing the same old crap again and again and again. See, I’m doing it already. Ah well, just trying to emphasize my point here.
Anyway this is all I will write for my farewell post. No need to comment. It won’t elicit a response in respect to posting. But don’t worry, I will still comment on other people’s blogs if I feel like it. Whether you visit this blog just to get the addresses to the blogs of my friends or you genuinely wish to read some of the posts, this blog will still be here, and you’re welcome to comment to your heart’s content. If any more things happen on this blog, it might be me amending a statement on this post, adding a few words to this post, editing this post...you get the idea. Anyway, this will NOT be continued...
Adiós.
Arrivederci.
Au revoir.
Auf wiedersehen.
Goodbye my blogging friends, for ever...
“And so let us part with a love that will echo through the ages.” (You work out where this is from...you know me! Where else could it be from?)
