He himself has said it; and it's greatly to his credit.
Hello friends.
When, in the course of human events, a certain blog author gets himself written out, the winds of change, as they say, must blow. I simply don't have the gumption, wherewithal, the energy, to keep maintaining this blog at the whirlwind pace I've been doing so for the last ten months.
So, given all this, I have decided to resign, effective immediately.
There are all sorts of reasons, I suppose. Too much of my life that interests me is stuff I just can't post. The stuff I can post just doesn't interest me all that much. I could keep writing stuff about which songs I like, movies I've seen, but there are other outlets for this and, let's face it, those are the least interesting posts.
It may be the case that after a month or so away, I decide I want to get back into it. In which case, I will. It's possible that I just need some serious time away from this thing. So, if you're keenly interested, I urge you to check back periodically. I won't shut the thing down, or anything like that. But I will stop posting, at least as far into the future as I can see.
For your further blog needs, I suggest you take up this or this.
With that, I bid you farewell. I close with the following lines:
I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.

Too much of your life that interests you is stuff you just can't post? You, sir, are an arrant tease.
I think the correct answer here is not retirement, but more promiscuous content. Take a tip from Paris Hilton: what good is a steamy personal life if you can't force it upon the entire world. Besides, you use pseudonyms. You could just deny that you are who they think you are, etc.
Dude, that sucks. I mean, it doesn't suck, per se, but qua blog, it was fun. Please continue to go to the movie board and post movie-related (or non-movie-related) stuffs. And that goes for the lot of you. The crux of its effectiveness in terms of passing the time is its ability to fill you in on entirely non-movie-related trivia...like funny things and things that aren't funny, but rather sad. Which is kind of funny. The address follows:
