Peace, bitches!
January marks two years for me in this blogging game. It’s by no means a super long time when you look at some blogs, but an eternity considering the average length of an anime blog. Let’s call it “long enough.”
I would like to let a few more famous and/or eloquent folks speak for me for a minute, on a variety of relevant topics that I have encountered and dealt with over the past two years.
DISAGREEMENTS
The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.
-Mark Twain
COMMON DEBATES
Too often we… enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
-John F. Kennedy
MOE
I’m cute — and God I hate that. Because that’s not cool. I’m like your niece, and nobody wants to date their niece.
-Kelly Clarkson
THE SPHERE
I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
NEW ANIME SEASONS
The happiness of most people is not ruined by great catastrophes or fatal errors, but by the repetition of slowly destructive little things.
-Ernest Dimnet, The Art of Thinking
GRSI
I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member.
-Groucho Marx
4CHAN
Youth doesn’t need friends – it only needs crowds.
-Zelda Fitzgerald
FANDOM
A man always remembers his first love with special tenderness, but after that he begins to bunch them.
-H.L. Mencken
YOU GUYS
Since I no longer expect anything from mankind except madness, meanness, and mendacity; egotism, cowardice, and self-delusion, I have stopped being a misanthrope.
-Irving Layton, poet
IN CONCLUSION
If you haven’t figured it out yet… I’m taking my ball and going home. It’s been real.
I will be back either sometime or never. Sayonara!
Catch the welcome home sign in about 12,000 years
HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF JANUARY’S 159 DAY!!! (1/15/09)
Also, he also left at the 2-year mark…
Yakk…Deculture
Well, as long as you ain’t pulling up your lawn on Twitter or GRSI, I’ll see you around somewhere, although I’ll miss a familiar face among the Nano feed.
Keep being large-fonted. Or something complimentary to that regard. Hope to see your sleek designs grace the sphere some more at some point.
Grats on 2 years!
I just started subscribing to your RSS today….
Hmm, all right… I hope it’s not because you’re sick of the lot of us. That would make me a little sad.
But it has been a good run. Sayonara, not in the American “goodbye forever” sense, but the Japanese “see you again soon, probably” sense. Much love.
You weren’t kidding when you said you were going out with a bang. Adios.
I’d hate to think this is the last I’ll read on here but eh, you might as well go out on a high. Absolutely loved the quotes BTW (and the selection of pics was genius too). Dammit man, I’m, going to MISS you. ;_;
Awww, shucks, Martin.
Congratulations. It was a very interesting post in a philosophical way
Like the others, I shall miss your ball. Best wishes for your time at home.
God damn, I was gonna be the first one to comment when you sent me this, but someone came into my room and became distracted D:
At least I can talk to you on GTalk, woo.
I suppose the longer we’re around a community, the more common it is for us to see friends and acquaintances come and go, and we appreciate the special madness of those that stick around for greater lengths of time.
See you later space cowboy.
Prosit!
Godspeed, Dad. Always a pity to see bloggers who started around the same time I did stop, but I suppose if you’re still around GRSI and stuff, it’s still okay, and not disappear completely like blissmo…
PROSIT!
It’s a shame to see you go, but I hope you stick around the community from time to time. I’m sure we’ll all welcome you back if you’re ever in the mood for a pointless debate or a bit of GRSI fun. Either way, I wish you well
Congrats on 2 years. And catch you on the flipside. I enjoyed your posts, as they brought yet another interesting perspective on anime into the “fold”.
ok, sayonara, & I really liked your about page if that matters …
