I don’t have a job getting paid to be a talking head, this blog was put here because in the Blues sense “it was in there, and it had to come out”
Early on I split it into two sections, the pages which all have links on the right, and the posts which don’t, you have to search or go through the archives.
I did that because the pages were what I needed to say to warn others, and the posts were what I wanted to say to warn others… if you have needs, go straight to the links on the right, if you have time and interest, read through the archive.
But, at the end of the day I am only one man, and there is a severe danger of sounding like a stuck record, I have made all the points I want to make, there are other things that interest me, some of them are even related to the topic of this blog, but they are far enough away from the topic of this blog that they do not have a place here.
For example I have a motorcycle to build a new wiring loom for and to put back on the road, I haven’t ridden it for too many years now, so I can either get up in the morning and fire up the laptop and check out the manosphere and MSM and get fired up and type sit here… or I can get up in the morning and ignore the laptop and the manosphere and MSM and go ghost and fix my bike up.
One thing I have seen is far too many guys, for whatever reason, get a “fuck this” moment with their blog, and not merely walk away, but delete the bastard, which strikes me as very strange and smacks of burning bridges.
What happens if the need to blog raises its head again a few months later?
So…
I am going to take a leave of absence, FROM THIS BLOG, as / if / when I feel the need, I will return.
However, this place will stay here, this was the express reason I chose a word press blog account, it does not require any ongoing actions from me to keep it on-line, may it last as long as geocities… lol
Well I have enjoyed your blog. Happy bike building.

Many thanks, like I said, no going away or anything, just said all I have to say, so picture me sitting in the corner of the bar with a beer and a cigar, watching the proceedings but not joining in… lol

Damn; we’ll miss you, brother. If you were to post about general mechanical knowledge I’d read that. You’re damned good with your hands.

Like you said, shit in your head’s gotta get out. You won’t be gone long, I’ll wager. Good Luck!

You could well be right, I’m just feeling the need right NOW to do something other than wake up and go on-line and before you know it three hours have gone by.

You will be certainly missed, not for too long hopefully. I learned quite a few things from this blog, not only about skank ho’s but also about a lot of other things by following the links you provided and also reading other people’s comments and following their links. Some notable (nonexhaustive) examples: Image manipulation techniques (I am partial to gimp, which you also mentioned) to make old hags look younger, Marcel Proust (I am not into literature), different kinds of cars, like the Ford Cortina, and the list goes on.
Enjoy your motorcycle!

Greatly enjoyed your blog/insights/observations. I have a feeling that a lot will be happening in the world shortly that will cause you to make additional posts.

Thank you for this blog! I love change, and I hate falling into ruts. I’m glad I think like you do, and I wish there were more mentors out there like you.

Have fun with your “sabbatical” doing all kinds of screwing. http://imgur.com/3CbuZ
And thanks for teaching me my new favorite word, “wimminz”.
I even came up with a proper German translation for it that I use almost as often: “weiberz”
🙂

I enjoy you wisdom… Take a break and recharge your creative juices… And bring us back more knowledge when you’re rested and sharp.
