There comes a time in life, when you have to stop laughing and see things for what they are. Humor is a wonderful thing, when you don’t hide behind it. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I believe it’s time I made some changes.
I spend my days writing and rewriting sentences that will most likely never be read. Certainly, I get paid very well for my efforts. But that does not make it any more fulfilling. That’s why I started this Web log. I found joy in coming up with new things every day and sharing them with people I would otherwise never meet. But lately it’s become more of a chore. And unlike my day job, I do not attain any income from it.
So please, accept my apologies. I have no intention of continuing this blog. Which means, unless I’m suddenly slapped in the face by inspiration, you’ll have to find your daily amusement elsewhere.
I need to experience life. Real life. Not this artificial life I’ve created for myself, chatting online from within the safety of my drywall cocoon. Life isn’t safe. It’s scary, and tragic. But we only have one and we should cherish every day of it. And that is what I intend to do.
Thank you to all the regulars who visited my site each day, and to all the newcomers who have discovered the archives. I wish you all a wonderful life. I hate to be the one to admit it, but. . . everything doesn’t suck.
Today, I am a sad clown.
Glad you worked through your devils.
Perhaps we will cross in a contradance line sometime when I come down to LA to dance. Ya never know.
I’ve been watching this blog for over 7 months. but I have yet to comment. All I can say is its a sad day in mudsville.
Say its a joke.
i beg to differ… this sucks.
You’ll be missed, Smivey.
I hope you will continue to stop by my place. And say hello every now and then.
Best of luck experiencing life and cherishing every day of it. Quite an admirable goal.
Cheers!
Really, I just stumbled upon this site and maybe what isn’t so easy to see; if you have been reading and “interacting” with this site for awhile is this is one of the most narcisistic blogs ever created. Why did you all give this guy so much of your energy? Like he said in his all famous “fuck you all”, we need to cherish every day. You SHOULD all feel like you just spent two hours of your day with a Kirby vacuum salesman but, pride will have it’s way, wont it???
In fact after reading more from this blog….
I dare the author to give me his name and/or address. I just want to add you to the list :)
Thank you all for the kind words. As I was writing this last entry, I noticed that it was sounding like I was getting ready to take a butcher knife to my wrists, so I tried to end it on an up note, which made it sound a little sappy.
Narcissistic? Uh, it is a weblog. What the fuck did you expect? As for daring me to reveal my real name and address, if you really read my entire blog, you’d understand one thing: I’m not a risk taker.
(yes you are… )
but you have real life friends that have this info…
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :breath: ooooooooooooooooooooooooo :breath: ooooooooooooooooooooooooo :breath: ooooooooooooooooooooooooo :breath: ooooooooooooooooooooooooo :breath: ooooooooooooooooooooooooo… ooooo… ooooooo… ::sputter, cough::
damn! good luck in the future, smivey… some of your entries have been among the funniest things i have ever read… what’s going to come of this site? besides this comments box getting really full……..
it was a great fuckin blog man.
hey by the way, were you on that kolin quinn show on comedy central? or was that just a guy that looked exactly like you
This blows.
Sorry to see you go, but I think living real life is a worthy alternative venture. All the best.
I feel like I’m at my own wake. Cool. Maybe I got a little dramatic with my final blog entry. Okay, I got a lot dramatic with my final blog entry. Perhaps I should’ve stayed away from my blog after I just got finished watching The Hours.
you’re not done, you know it, i know it, we all know it….
you’ll post inside the week, yeah, yeah thats my story and I’m sticking to it.
We will miss your blog so much! Hopefully we’ll see your writings out somewhere being made famous sometime soon.
This blog will be missed! *goes to read every entry ever posted again*
I think Smivey will be back within 3-4 months, because he will be jonesing for the blog love bigtime. You know it’s true Smivey.
it’s true.
:o(
Indeed, I suck.
FUCK.
*huge pout*
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.
Fuck, even.
NOT funny Smivey. *sigh*
Hey Smivey, tomorrow is my birthday. I’ll be 57. So, I can honestly say “good luck kid”.
And your right, everything doesn’t suck.
no, seriously, when will you be back?
I still waiting for a new post. I’ll be back…
Dude.. he’s not coming back. *whimper*
did you fall in love, smivey?
oh for fuck’s-sake… don’t you think it’s time to throw us a bone?
Hey Smiv…thanks for all the suckage. I decided I was sick of my meandering little ‘blog ages ago, hence me not being around much in these parts. I’ve gone over to The Other Side and started a LiveJournal; use the email link to the right of where it says “MangoMonkeyBoy” & write me for the URL if’n yer of a mind ta’.
tell me to get a life already.
but reading this post i wanted to remind you to take your own advice….
You have got to be kidding. Do you know who you’re talking to? Face it, this is my life. Bleh.
