I know that I have been saying that I would last an entire year amongst the living (although I've always felt like I was living, even when it wasn’t on the public stage), but I've changed my mind and have come to the conclusion it is time for me to exit stage left...
When I first started this blog, the purpose was three-fold:
Catch up with a lot of people I had fallen out of contact with and let them know I still care about their lives
Use this blog as a peek behind the curtain into my life, to dispel any and all rumors about my proceedings
Successfully use a blog to make money while focusing primarily on delivering content about my likes and dislikes
As they say (Who are they, exactly?I wish I knew...), two out of three isn't bad.
Part of the problem with successes in life is that you often don't know or don't recognize when you have accomplished your goals and end up shooting well beyond your target(s).Fame and notoriety are seductive and it is extremely easy to get caught up in the feeling that you are somebody important while forgetting the most important thing…what it is exactly that you were trying to accomplish.In regards to my first two objectives, I have succeeded well beyond I ever could have imagined was possible.The third, I believe is not really possible given the content delivered.I mean, come on...who would pay to hear me talk about how I feel about anything when you can get it for free just by being around me
That being said, I'm out of here.This does not mean that the final CD in my project will not be completed.It just means you can look forward to no longer receiving emails from me touting my newest mix CD.I'll also send out the others ones promised last month, however, these will only go to the people who have received at least one CD in the collection.Sorry folks...there's no more room on the ark...
In order to concentrate on getting my business really cracking, it is going to take more effort than it did to even get to the starting blocks.I cannot possibly put the energy into that as well as having time for my familial obligations and volunteer work.Sacrifices must be made, so the first casualty is this site.I'll keep the domain registered, so if you ever want to peruse The Year of the Pig and see what I thought about something or another, feel free to come back and read it.
There is also one last thing I want to get off my chest, but I'll post about that later and without any fanfare.
Again, thanks to all who have listened as my tree fell in the woods.Most of you have my contact info, so feel free to holla at me if you need any help with anything or just want to catch up.
In closing, I leave you with a clip from one of my favorite movies and as always, stay blessed.
