hmm...
so riqui's quitting the blog business. i must say, i'm not too terribly surprised, but that doesn't make it any less of a dirty tasting pill to swallow. you know what i mean? like um, fuck...what was it called? amoxicyllin. whew... i had to take that in 9th grade cause i had a nasty sinus infection. i mean it, i had headaches that were the worst ones i had ever had, and i haven't had any that bad in the nine years since. that's how bad they were. so i had to that that pill, and it actually tasted like i was putting a mud globule on my toungue every day. i took to holding my nose to keep the nast taste as confined as possible.
that all being said, i'm sad to see him go. he didn't update all that often in latter months, but when he did, it was like getting a letter in the mail, or an unexpected phone call, two things which have been remiss of late from my end of things! damn you!
i can't say that i haven't thought about it. it's pretty tempting at times, to give up trying to put down in words the flashes that barely constitute complete thoughts on the happenstance of your livelong day. most days now, i simply get up, shower up, head to work, work, come home, jerk off, go to bed. it's not terribly interesting and it's hard to try to come up with something worth saying on even a semi daily basis. that's why i need to take breaks from time to time.
september was pretty sparse, and i caught a little flak from some friends, but it had to be done. and though i don't know the reason why riqui's bailing now, i'm sure it's a pretty valid one. i'mn feel sorry mainly for you guys who don't know him, and for whom, the blog is your main source of riquitude. you get words on a screen. i get the real thing.
