requiem for a blog

An excerpt from Phil's Proof:

The blogosphere is dead. Truly. I’m lazy when it comes to finding new blogs to read. I like to pick out a few comfortable places to settle down with, then ride ‘em out till the end. Unfortunately, it seems most of these wonderful blogs have slowly but surely lapsed into stagnation. I have to wonder though, what is the average lifetime of a blog? From experience, it seems to be under 2 years. Blogs with their own domain — indicative of perhaps more dedication by its owner — seem to last a little longer, but not much. My two gal pals have deserted me; enter Melodrama. Hot Coffee Girl has posted a few rubbish entries (yes, you heard me, woman — absolute rubbish!), and Rhys has more or left me for dead. Probably for her burgeoning webcam fetish business.

Hey, Phil, big talk from a man who left his Christmas Template up until well into the New Year.  

So, I am posting for shit about shit. What do you want to hear? That I get up, go to work, come home, and do it all again the next day? Yawn. I am boring. I have nothing to say. I am not miserable. I am just pabulum. Vanilla ice cream. Beige.

I want to be eye-bursting green again, I just don't know how to get it back.  

Maybe when I go see Avitable later this month, he'll have some extra lying around he can lend me.

Pamela Anderson knew what to do.

And later, so did Paris Hilton.

Even Screech gave it a go.

Remember, Kell, nowhere to go but up.

And by the way, that Christmas Template jab cut me deep, HCG. It really did.

I can usually make people's eyes burst, but it's not with green!

Be Careful what you wish for- you may actually get it but not quite the way you wanted.Brittiny and Lindsey both led eye-bursting lives but no one can say that either wouldn't long to be Vanilla for a while...

Maybe it's time to break out the story of our summer fling back in 2003. Leave out the pics, though...I had a funny look on my face.

I bore myself to death.

The easiest way to go from beige to eye bursting green is to leave the blogosphere for a while and do things that warrant true intellectual discussion.

I think it's time for a trip to chuck e cheese and a jump-around in the bin of balls. As i've heard, everything looks better from underneath balls.

Rock On, Hot Coffee Girl, Rock On! Don't allow ANYONE to paint you as beige! Let the Wonders of hot Caffine turn you back to Eye-bursting Color!

Meh. I hit my peak six months ago, now I just write any old tosh in the hope that quantity will triumph over quality. Like on tv.

It's not easy finding a balance between living and blogging. But if I dwelt on it too long, I'd probly never blog again. Sod that.

Just write something and we'll tell you if you got it right. ;-)
