My dear and beloved fan and reader, while it is true that I have enjoyed entertaining you for the last year and a half, I fear that I must call at least a temporary halt to our activities. The truth of the matter is, at this point in time, it takes far too much energy to consistently write things that are amusing and entertaining when I feel miserable day in day out, month after month, year after year. Humor only carries you so far.
But think not that I care so little for you that I wish to leave on a note of complete sorrow and bitterness, for, in truth, though life sucks and is miserable, we've had some fun times.
We've explored the sordid sub-culture of metrosexuality, we made fun of would-be suitors, engaged in cultural anthropology and political criticism, and we ruthlessly excoriated more bad movies than can be remembered. Who can forget the infamous jury duty debacle or that time I got a little carried away with the Photoshop? Good times.
Yes, we've had tears, tears, and more tears, but through it all there were always moments of bliss that punctuated the darkness. And, if nothing else, we got to make fun of my sister more than was strictly necessary.
So, although I bid you farewell for an undetermined length of time, if not forever, remember the good times, forget the bad, and hold me fondly in your memory.
