The Will To Blog

As you may have noticed, this blog has been sputtering out for a while, seemingly on its last legs. I'm not exactly sure why that is. I seem to have lost the will the blog. I see things that would have, in the past, prompted entries, and sometimes I even think of what I would write. Only I have no desire to actually write up and post an entry. It's not to be attributed to anything going on in my personal life, or lack thereof. It's not because I'm distracted or depressed. I think the blog has simply run its course. Maybe it's just a phase I was going through.

Or maybe this is just a phase, and I'll be back to blogging at some point in the (near? distant?) future.

But for now, at least, the curtain is closing on Idealogian.

Thanks to all my readers, especially those who have contributed in the comments section. You've certainly made it a lot more fun.

After reading your post, I thought that the lyrics to Frank Sinatra's great song, I DID IT MY WAY says it best.

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.

I’ve lived a life that’s full.
I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

but this means i'll actually have to keep in touch to find out what's on your mind! will you still send cool links?

How about a blog covering what you would have written about on Idealogian? (grasping at straws here).
I, for one, will miss this and hope to see you back, more witty and clever than ever.

This is so sad. I haven't read here in a few weeks because I've been busy and I come back to find out that you're leaving? I've enjoyed reading your blog so much. Maybe the madness will pass and you'll decide to keep writing. *hoping*
