the end of the road
"What a long, strange trip it's been." -
HippiesWell people, the time has come. It's time to put My Blog is Poop out of its misery.
Yesterday I began looking through the posts from the last couple of months and I realized that not only has the quantity of Poop posts gone down, the quality has too. To quote the
gorgeous Rhett Miller, I think it's obvious that "My heart wasn't in it, not for one single minute." And that's not good.
When I started this site it was the only place I could go to get my ideas out. I had a boring job, so this was where I came to be creative. Now with
The Post Show and the
Best Week Ever site I spend my days (and nights) doing what I like to do best: writing jokes, producing videos and (hopefully) making people laugh. I'm incredibly lucky.
So many great things have come out of this ridiculous blog that I kind of feel like a traitor abandoning it. It's gotten me a promotion. It's gotten me recognized on the street. It's the reason I now have great friends like
Jenny,
Alex, and
Rob. Without Poop I would've never met my soul-sistah for life
Alexis, or my future wife,
Anna. Of course, come to think of it I also wouldn't have a horrible ex-girlfriend who recently rented a bunch of videos from Blockbuster on my card and didn't return them, but hey! nothing's perfect.
Thanks to this site I've had the opportunity to perform at
Lindsay's Ritalin Readings. I've gotten a few dates. I've had an IM conversation with the Immortal
John Sencio. And most importantly, I've turned people off from Aaron Karo. I hope.
This isn't my last post. I've been devastated in the past when I'd visit one of my favorite blogs only to be greeted with a final "this is it" message. Instead, I'm turning in my two week notice. The last post will be on March 2, two years to the day of this site's inception. How dramatic!
Before that, I'm going to try to post a few decent things. That way, years from now if a bored 16-year-old kid stumbles onto this page, he won't be met with a lame post about Black Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke.
Yeah. It's time to go.
It's been fun.
