Around this time nine years ago I was getting ready to go to a party with some friends of mine, not knowning that I would end up meeting a wonderful, beautiful, funny and very intelligent woman.
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
I love you babe…

I’ve been blogging on this weblog for 7 years. I guess that in internet years that’s well over 100 years. That’s a long time… a very long time. Most people hadn’t even heard of weblogs when I started out and now everyone and their grandmother has one (which is a good thing).
A lot of things have happened for me in the past 7 years. And most of it I’ve blogged about. I’ve become married to my wonderful girlfriend and she has given me the greatest gift of life a beautiful, smart and loving son. I’ve taken three different educations, and I’ve just landed a dream job which I’m looking very much forward to. I’ve had my 15 kb of internet fame and at one time had around 100 returning visitors to this site. I’ve meet some really cool people online as a direct result of this weblog and have had the distinguish pleasure of meeting some of them in real life as well. I truly feel that I’ve been part of some unique and grandeur.
But now I fell that it is time to move on. I’ll still very much be online, I, now as always, believe that the internet is the single greatest human achievement in modern time and I still very much want to be a part of that, but I fell that my blogging times are over and the “urge to blog”-energy that used to flow in my veins is no longer there.
This weblog will remain “open” and it will still be possible to comment on all the post and I still answer them as always, there will just not be any new ones.
This post turned out much mellower than I intended. Blogging has for me always been fun and still is, it’s just that I currently don’t have to time or the incentive to post and when that happens it’s better to stop entirely and simply to shuffle along (as this blog as been doing for some time).
I might return to blogging sometime in the future, then again I might not. I really feel that this is a done chapter for me. So until next time… Here’s looking at you, kid.
Update:
I now have a tumblr site that I try to keep a decent flow to. Really couldn’t leave this alone anyway. How about that.
