ごめなさい

In the words of Madonna (when in doubt, always quote Madonna), "Je Suis Désolé. Lo Siento. Ik ben droevig." Guys, I am ending this blog.

I'm pretty sure that this is the part where I tell you how great longboarding has been, or where I try to convince those of you who were interested in longboarding to do so, but I'm not going to do that.

"Sono spicacente."

I believe in endings and all, but this really won't be the end for my longboarding or my blogging. They may become separated, and even divorce entirely in a few years, but ultimately, the two concepts had a good run together and have influenced one another in a way that cannot easily be erased from my life and potentially even yours, dear reader.

I could give you a heartfelt map of my blogging over the years, starting with high school ramblings on a now socially dead website - xanga - up to my undergraduate studies at a major university, writing about concepts that flowed in and out of my mind and secretly questioning the increasing connection of internet blogs and the media and what that means to me in the future (seriously, almost every popular artist keeps a blog, for their fans, and the humor section of bookstores now carry a variety of blogs-turned-into-paperbacks). But...I'm not gonna do that either. (Probably because I'm lazy, since that seems like a pretty interesting topic that I would otherwise persue). "Perdóname".

What I am going to do, is encourage you to continue to cruise the internet for great and exciting things. Red vs. Blue, Kelly's "Shoes", Nuklearpower, PostSecret, Omgblog - the things that make you laugh or give you something interesting to talk about at work tomorrow. This blog may be ending, but I'll probably continue to blog about other things, throwing pebbles of thought into the lake of the world, and watching the ripples vibrate out forever, or disappating only a few feet away.

I won't say that I'm sorry. You have heard it all before.
