Done

I must say goodbye to you, my blogger friends-- at least for now.

I've become lazy with this site and am not putting in the time and effort to post something thought-provoking or interesting when I actually do post anything.

Plus, let's be honest: for all bloggers, going to all the work of writing, posting pictures, thoughts and ideas has to fulfill something in the blogger her/himself. We are not selfless beings. In the end, it's usually at least partly about us. When I was living in Guatemala, I used this site to communicate with family and friends about what was happening in my life as well as what I was experiencing. I also had ideas and experiences I wanted to communicate to others.

At this point in my life, I'm not getting anything out of posting. The thought of writing something here just seems like more work and more time on a computer, when I'm already spending too much time on one at the office. I also don't know what to talk about. I'm an uninspired writer, my friends. I need to live some more these days-- meaning get out of the house and off the computer. Like the end of a stale relationship: the passion is gone.

If I am going to be on a computer at home, I'd rather read someone else's blog. Or learn something from another site-- like watch interesting clips on YouTube.

We had some good times. Let's remember those-- go back in the archives and you can get your fill.

Who knows: maybe this will be resurrected one day. Or maybe I'll start a blog that none of my friends and family know about where I can spill all my secrets to strangers.

Thanks to you loyal readers, both the ones who comment and the ones who like to lurk.

Hasta luego.
