END OF AN ERA

WELL...AFTER 400 POSTS AND COUNTLESS TIMES TALKING ABOUT ENDING THIS BLOG OR CHANGING OVER TO SOMETHING ELSE... GUESS WHAT... ITS FINALLY HAPPENING. THIS WILL OFFICIALLY BE THE VERY LAST POST THAT I WILL EVER WRITE. I CANT BELIEVE I KEPT THIS THING GOING FOR MORE THAN 7.5 YEARS... ITS BEEN QUITE A RUN... THIS THING STARTED OFF STRONG AND WITH SO MUCH POTENTIAL, AND THEN IT JUST GOT KILLED BY TIME. OH THERES GEMS HERE AND THERE BUT SOMETIMES THE POSTS ARE JUST SAD... LITERALLY SAYING NOTHING, YOU KNOW THAT AND I KNOW THAT TOO. SO MANY POSTS WERE FORCED JUST SO I CAN KEEP THAT ONE A WEEK POST GOING. I HAVE SO MANY TOPICS THAT I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT BUT EITHER ITS HARD TO WRITE, TOO LONG TO WRITE, JUST DIDNT FEEL LIKE IT, TIRED, OR WHATEVER THE REASON WAS AT THAT MOMENT. I REALLY DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU ACTUALLY KEPT UP AND READ ALL THESE POSTS. I KNOW THERES A HANDFUL OF YOU, AND AFTER THE LAST POST I REALIZED THERES A FEW MORE. HOWEVER... THERE WOULD BE MORE READERS IF I DIDNT TYPE IN ALL CAPS FOR THE WHOLE DAM THING LOL. SOMETHING ABOUT ME SCREAMING AT EVERYONE OR IT BEING HARD TO READ... WHO KNOWS LOL. EVERYONE THAT I KNOW WHO BLOGGED AND EVEN JUST RANDOM PAGES THAT YOU GO TO MOST OF THEM HAVE STOPPED AS WELL. ITS HARD TO WRITE, ITS EASY BUT AT THE SAME TIME ITS HARD. IVE FLOATED THE IDEA OF A YOUTUBE CHANNEL BUT THAT TAKES EVEN MORE TIME AND EFFORT AND WOULD BE A BIGGER PRODUCTION, AND I ALREADY DONT EVEN WANT TO WRITE THE BLOG, SO HOW WOULD I MAKE VIDEOS... LOL... IVE LEARNED A LOT OVER THE PAST YEARS BLOGGING AND ITS FINALLY TIME TO MOVE ON, TIME FOR A CHANGE. EVEN WITH ALL THAT SAID IL NOW BE STARTING UP A PODCAST!!! SO NO MORE READING POSTS AND IMAGINING MY VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD, NOW YOU CAN LITERALLY LISTEN TO ME TALK AT ANYTIME YOU WANT!!! NOT MANY PEOPLE READ ANYMORE BUT LOTS OF PEOPLE LISTEN TO PODCASTS, SO I FIGURED YOU KNOW WHAT... LETS SEE HOW THIS GOES. THE PODCAST OFFICIALLY START NEXT WEEK... LETS SEE HOW LONG THAT LASTS... COULD IT GO FOR ANOTHER 7.5 YEARS... WITH WEEKLY EPISODES... THAT WOULD BE QUITE IMPRESSIVE LOL. I GUESS THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND YOU, AND THATS TO GO AND LISTEN!!! THE LINK IS BELOW, SO GO AND BOOKMARK IT NOW!!! LOL

AND WITH THAT, I THANK ALL MY READERS FOR KEEPING UP AND PUTTING UP WITH THIS. IT SURE HAS BEEN A TRIP. IVE CERTAINLY ENJOYED IT... MOST OF IT... SORTA... LOL... BUT I GUESS ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END. THIS MARKS THE END OF AN ERA. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR THIS JOURNEY.

7 YEARS...

FIRST THING FIRST. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVELY GF :)

NOW ON TO THE NEXT THING. 7 YEARS... THATS RIGHT... MY BLOG TURNS 7 THIS WEEK. I CANT BELIEVE IT... I HAVE POSTED EVERY WEEK FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS!!! WITHOUT FAIL!!! WELL... EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE TIME I WAS IN CHINA AND EVERYTHING WAS BLOCKED... BUT THAT DOESNT REALLY COUNT LOL. 7 LONG LONG YEARS... WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT I BRING YOU ALL QUALITY POSTS ABOUT THE TOPICS THAT YOU ALL CRAVE FOR... SACRIFICING MY BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS TO BRING YOU THESE GEMS. NO ONE KNOWS HOW MUCH I HAVE GIVEN TO THIS BLOG! IVE LOST SLEEP OVER THIS AND IVE STRUGGLE TO WRITE A POST WHEN IM HALF ASLEEP... WHICH IS EVERY WEEK LOL. I HONESTLY DONT KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU STILL READ THIS... SO IF YOU READ THIS, COMMENT BELOW TELLING ME HOW OFTEN YOU ACTUALLY READ THIS. I WILL PICK A WINNER AND THAT WINNER WILL GET SOMETHING, I DONT KNOW WHAT YET, BUT IT WILL BE AWESOME LOL.

I STARTED THIS BLOG WITH A DIFFERENT GOAL IN MIND. IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FUN AND INFORMATIVE. I WAS GOING TO GIVE EVERYONE A LOOK INTO MY MIND AND HOW I SAW THINGS. THEN IT SLOWLY BECAME WHAT I DID AND JUST UPDATING PEOPLE. EVENTUALLY I STARTED GETTING REALLY LAZY AND ENDED UP DOING MOVIE REVIEW... HALF ASS REVIEWS. IT WAS BASICALLY POSTING FOR THE SAKE OF POSTING... FOR A TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT ALL BACK TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY POST A FEW REAL POSTS. COME TO THINK OF IT... THERE WAS A TIME THAT IT WAS ALL REAL POSTS!!! AHHH THOSE WERE GOOD TIMES, BUT THOSE POSTS TAKE A LONG TIME TO WRITE, THERES SO MUCH IN THEM.

ANDDDDDDDDDDDD I JUST PASSED OUT LOL. SEE... THIS IS HARD WORK LOL. IVE WRITTEN ABOUT STOPPING OR CHANGING THE FREQUENCY OF THE POSTS. IVE TALKED ABOUT IT A LOT. THIS TIME IT MIGHT ACTUALLY REALLY POSSIBLY BE THE TIME. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW OR WHEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN... AND IM NOT SURE IF IM GOING TO DO SOMETHING ELSE... HOWEVER I WAS TALKING TO A SOME OLD FRIENDS AND THEY THINK I SHOULD DO A VLOG OR PODCAST OR SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT SOME THING LIKE THAT BEFORE, BUT I JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME FOR IT OR I WOULD NEED TO CHANGE HOW I DO IT, THERE IS JUST A LOT OF QUESTIONS, BUT WHATS STOPPING ME... NOTHING REALLY... I COULD SWITCH OR DO SOMETHING ELSE... I WOULD NEED TO LOOK MORE INTO IT.

I GUESS AT THE END OF THE DAY, IM QUITE HAPPY THAT I MADE IT TO 7 YEARS. THAT I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THIS UP AND WAS COMMITTED TO IT ENOUGH... EVEN THOUGHT THE POST QUALITY WAS... WELL... LETS JUST BE HONEST... AMAZING!!! LOL. EVENTUALLY WHEN I FINALLY MAKE A DECISION, YOU ALL WILL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW. CONGRATS TO ME ON 7 YEARS OF BLOGGING. HAPPY 7 YEARS, AND HERES TO THE NEXT 7... MAYBE... NOT... WHO KNOWS...
