A long and weepy goodbye?

No. Not really.
To be honest, I almost forgot this blog existed. Then I got a funny little comment this morning that jogged my memory:
In terms of bloggable content, things have been a bit light. I usually get to say as much as I want to say over at Massively, which is great. Unless I have a long ranty opinion piece that doesn't mesh well with corporate over there, there's really not much for me to write much over here. Actually, I don't know if it would be the best idea for me to verbally thrash an MMO on this blog now that I work for Massively because my online personas are inextricably tied. How am I supposed to resemble anything close to an impartial journalist on Massively if I'm tearing a game a new a-hole on my personal blog?
In terms of sympathy and gut-wrenching goodbyes, don't get your hopes up, haha. This past year has been amazing in terms of online ventures. My gig at Massively and my side project, AionLevelingGuide, have been awesome these past 365 days. I've been able to express myself creatively and earn a modest profit, so if that means I spend a bit less time on my personal blog, I'm A-Okay. The fact that I'm not blogging here is actually cause for happiness, not sadness.
I won't be deleting this site any time soon but I don't have any firm plans to keep up with active posting either. I'm in a comfortable place right now and even though I have a number of obligations, I don't want to add one more to the pile. This blog is all about expression but I'm pretty much tapped out atm. In the future though, who knows?
Hopefully, this has been a decent explanation. I will try to make a better effort though.

Hey man. . . are you done posting? Haven't seen you here or on Massively in a long time. What about a long weepy goodbye? Aren't we even entitled to that? I mean that's what happens when people close up shop. Of course they say it's not supposed to be a heart-wrenching goodbye, but we all know they want sympathy.I'm not technically done posting on this blog. I'm just on a really long vacation where I check in from time to time. I post for Massively on average 30 times per month. That's about a post a day. Given my primary job, Massively, family, friends, dog, working on my house, and spending a few short hours gaming, it doesn't leave me with much more time to write on this blog.
So, uh. . . should I remove you from my favorites and google reader, or what?

The only problem I find with aion are the bots but otherwise I'll stay on this boat for a while longer!
