Enough is Enough

Dear Posts in the Form of a Letter,

We need to talk.

For a while now, I've thought of you as a clever way to make a point, a way to break up the monotony by pretending like I was actually speaking to somebody, and thus, could be more focused. Basically, I thought of you as the new friend you meet in the line for the bathroom, the one who keeps you from lurking around the liquor cabinet silently.

Now don't take this the wrong way, Posts in the Form of a Letter. I really thought we were going to go the distance, and I'd turn you into some kind of regular feature (which I've never done before, you know; you were my first!). But recently, you've become kind of hacky. I'm sorry, Posts, but it's the truth. Everybody in the world seems to want to use you to make their point, and through them, I've seen that maybe you weren't as clever as I thought you were.

I think too much of you to give you a "It's me, not you," because frankly? You've become worn-out. But the good news is that, given your huge popularity in the blogosphere, I just know you'll forget about me in no time. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Keep keeping your head up,
Rokken Roll

Yeah, I know, I'm the worst blogger to ever sully the Blogspot name. I could give you lots of excuses--busy at work, writing other stuff, never really considered this a blog, just a place to catalog my writing--but what's the point?

There will be more, I just can't promise when, or how much. Whenever I get an idea, I usually turn it around in a day or so, but when I don't have an idea (or am not searching for one), I won't force it for the sake of having something. I respect the institution of Blog too much for that.

Sorry, I know that sucks. I really appreciate anyone who might be reading, so do check back every few years.
