back to say goodbye:)

haha it's been eons since i last updated, huh? if you're wondering what i've been up to lately, the answer is, well, nothing much. i spent the last three days wallowing in utter decadence, with my trusty xbox by my side and a murakami in hand, engaged in the strict training regime required of all aspiring recluses. haha right yeah but all good things end too soon, so here i stand again, forced to step outside my makeshift cave to face the blinding light of reality.

tough luck.

yup and to all the people who've left comments you have no idea how happy and surprised i am that you even bothered. and so it pains me to inform you that, for better or for worse, i will not be returning here ever again. or, at the very least, i will not be updating regularly any more (not that i ever have ahaha).

the rationale behind this decision begins with my adamant refusal to blog about mundane everyday details. i'm pretty sure no one living seriously wants to read a vivid description of what i ate for breakfast (incidentally, i had wanton mee, if you're really interested, in which case please seek professional help. lol.) or a blow-by-blow of every activity i've been involved in. i'm too lazy to do that anyway.

which brings me to my next premise: as a logical conclusion i can only blog about my thoughts and opinions. the thing is, i'm unwilling to lodge public complaints about people or organisations here on my blog, one because i fear prosecution (you coward you) and two because i think it's awfully mean. i'd like to say it's only reason two, but my conscience won't let me. right so that means i can only blog about my thoughts and opinions of...myself. which explains how earlier posts have come into being.

looking back now, though, pangs of embarrassment have me in a vice grip and i have no choice but to admit that every post i attempt to write ends up as a self-reflection, which is undesirable because it sounds terribly angsty (bleargh!) and because if it is, indeed, a self-reflection, then there is no need, really, for public viewing. i am no exhibitionist, and you are no voyeur (right? please say yes.); it follows that my dirty linen ought to be reviewed by my eyes only.

it is, therefore, with a large dose of false gusto and a pinch of regret that i officially announce the end of this blog. it's been cool, somewhat. and it's nice to know people actually read my writing. (what kind of sick perverts are you? just kidding.) thank you, thank you, thank you.

on a slightly related note, i hope to start writing (not blogging) again, a decision spurred in part by t. s. eliot as well as my inability to attend this year's CAP. so, the other blog, http://closetedcobwebs.blogspot.com may be updated from time to time, but no promises, because i am an indolent good-for-nothing.

yep so once again, thank you one and all, and, for the last time, goodbye; good night!

back to the hermit's lair. ahahahaha-
