So Long, Farewell
This will be my last post. I'm done. I'm walking away. I wish you well. I'm going to disappear into the shadows... never to be seen or heard from again. Well... for a month or two, that is. I'm taking a break. Traveling a bit. Getting in touch with my inner Bieber. If you want this blog to come back, post a comment. Otherwise... don't know. We'll see. I'll still post to Twitter here and there. Not sure if I'll continue to update The Infinite Ache or the other Tumblr sites. Maybe. I will, however, be updating Facebook with content I would have posted elsewhere.

Quick update. I've trimmed down the site a bit as you can see (no pics, no Q&A, no search). I think I know what I want to do with this blog, but doubtful that it will remain here. I pay $15 a month through Squarespace and there's very little interaction. A lot of visitors, but few comments. That, coupled with the fact that I really like the new "Timeline" feature on Facebook, has me mulling some possibilities. One is that I expand out my Facebook profile and make most of the posts public. Then, again... I have family and co-workers there and I'm still not sure that I'm comfortable with them seeing EVERY post (or comment... though I can, and do, hide via lists). I also don't want them to accidentally link over to The Infinite Ache - which is certainly a bit x-rated. I'm not ashamed of it, but... way too weird.
Another option is to continue with Tumblr (what I use for The Infinite Ache and Tea Leaf Dancer), get a decent theme, and use that for a blog. Tumblr isn't the greatest, though. It's definitely not on the same level as Squarespace from a tools standpoint, but... it is free. I don't know. Is $15 worth staying here. I like using Squarespace, but no one comments on any of the posts. It's like I'm talking to myself (not that I do that; ok, so maybe I do). Look I get it. There are a ton of blogs that I love, but I never have time to visit them. I'm lazy or I forget. The Tumblr sites see a lot of activity. So possibly Facebook, probably Tumblr... or stay here. Hmm. I'll need another month, but then I'll be back... one way or another.
Peace. Out.
Note: The pics will be back, though probably via Instagram.

Don't go. Stay. This will be no fun without you...
Bon voyage! May you journey far and profitably, and may you return to grace us with more Writing Buddha and bangles.
But I ... And then you .... And we...with her...and him....why?!?! Why does everything I love leave me?!?!
Don't stop.
And don't depend on Facebook,,, it's just a little ... off message.
That being said, have a nice trip.
Sorry to see you go... will be watching the tumblrs.
Whatever your decision will be we will always support you along the way. Good luck and hope to hear from you soon. :)

Thanks. I'll be back, but... not sure what it will look like. We'll see.
I leave you comments! I leave you more than you leave me! Shoot, I'll even Vox you. *sniffs* this relationship has become so one sided... *strips naked in a fit of anger*
lol
I know what you mean because frankly, that's why I stopped posting on my blog, I don't think the facebook idea is the greatest, but if you can make tumblr or any other free blog service work for you than I'll glady follow you there
:)
Like a lot of blogs, the comment section can be the most entertaining, and create a small community of followers to your site. I am surprised more people did not comment. I have some suggestions for your revamp, and next time we speak I will tell you. Your humor and wit are what make your blog readable, as your followers know. The truth is, the internet is dying, and soon people will once again read books and talk to each other. Ya, right. Later bud.
