Not Blogging Is Easy

Man, I thought that taking a sabbatical from blogging was going to be tough but it turns out that it's really easy. I don't miss it at all. I don't feel like I have to be "on" all the time anymore. It's been really relaxing to just be good ol' Archie and not have to do the performance that I put on for the visitors to the site.

It's also great not reading or commenting on other blogs. A weight has been lifted from my life. I don't need to get sucked into the negativity and hostility that pervade the Rogers Park blogs these days. It's as if nobody cares about anything other than yelling the loudest, talking the most shit and being the biggest asshole they can possibly be. No more of that for me! I found that it had begun to infect my own thoughts and I was doing nothing more than trying to dig up dirt on certain people. Fortunately, even though I found a bunch of material (and published some of it) I was able to exercise restraint and not trivialize the very important world of blogs with petty crap. Thank goodness. I'll just have to forget about the juicy bits concerning all the racism and digital vandalism that are waiting to be posted. Be strong, Archie. Be strong!

Anyhow -- this is going really well!

A Blogging Sabbatical

Recently, Tom Westgard announced that he was taking a sabbatical from blogging and my advisors have informed me that it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to do the same, so starting today, I shall not be blogging for a period of about 1 month.

I'll see you after the general elections.
