I’m still alive.
Figured the least I could do is let you folks know that.
Seems I’ve changed a ton over the last ten years or so that I’ve been blogging.
Wow, ten years, a decade seems like such a crazy long time to keep coming back to the great wide intarwebs and leave my thoughts on a screen for others to read.
Still, this has been a good thing, a ton of fun. So many amazing people have been met along the way, so much about my world and my life has changed. Almost always for the better too.
Here’s the thing…
I’m not going to write here anymore.
I’ll probably write.
There’s a small chance that I’ll start up a new blog under my actual real name.
It’s a small chance.
Tiny really.
But I wanted you kids to know that I’m good and alive and enjoying life.
I’ll also be sure to shoot emails and get in touch with those of you who have bothered shedding the anonymity to let me know who you are. If I start something new you’ll be the first kids to know.
For those of you who are still lurking after all of these years…well…I’ll probably post a link to anything new so you can still find me, no worries.
It’s just that blogging isn’t the catharsis that it used to be for me. I don’t come here anymore to work out my issues. Not that I have them all worked out by any means…I still have my share.
Just that writing it all down as I process it, or as a means of processing them, well…that doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Maybe because I’ve dealt with the big crazy major shit.
Maybe because I just don’t want to deal with what I have left in a public forum.
Probably a little bit of both.
I used to WANT to write, I’d be hanging out with friends when something hilarious would happen and I’d think “man this’d be an awesome entry”
Yeah, that just doesn’t happen anymore. I mean, there is still a high ratio of hijinx to normal in my life…just that I no longer feel compelled to put it down. The audience has changed I guess…hell…I’ve changed.
I’m just not the same man I was a decade ago, and I’d tell you that in this case that’s a good thing…that I’m a better man for everything I’ve learned and shared and done.
Anyway, the end result is that I’m going to move on.
Whatever you folks do, wherever you go…well…I wish you nothing but the best.
Take care.

Well spanky it has been fun reading your posts over the years and here in fookin freezing England I would like to wish you a fond fairwell. I hope the journey your on is a nice one and that you have a lot of fun along the way. Takecare and keep on truckin!! over and out xx
Sometimes blogging can be a chore. A few weeks go by without you having written anything and you start to wonder where the next inspiration will come from. What will people expect from you if you leave it longer? Do you need to start trying to find something to say and quick? All questions that have gone through my head from time to time (not that anyone can shut me up for too long!!).
I have a feeling that once you say goodbye and the pressure is off you will miss it. You will return and just write because you want to and not because you feel you have to.
Maybe I am right in saying that or maybe I will be proven wrong. Maybe I just want to read some more or maybe I just think that while my daughter is reading your blog she is not getting up to other mischief!!!
Either way, good luck!
I am sure we have not heard the last of Sub, Spanky or whatever your real name is.
Have fun!
