Goodbye to non-posting blogs 64th and Broadway (sorry Scot), Resisting Inertia (see you at Beer Geek), Consuming Indy (maybe "Fasting Indy" would be a better name)... and a bunch of folks I forget... from the blogroll. You didn't need me anyway.
Some day I'll remember you, and check in, and there will be an abundance of catching up to do. It'll be a reward for letting you go now, I think.

Dear Fellow Bloggers
You're all slacking. Some of you haven't updated in weeks. And I'm going to delete you from my link list, because despite the fact that I once enjoyed reading your work, you've slacked off and must be punished. So get with the program or say goodbye to one hit per day!

we all suck
I've noticed a decline in the number of posts and comments at many of the blogs I read on a regular basis, especially those that are Indianapolis based. While this does make it a little harder to find ways to waste away the day, it also brings a warm feeling to my heart. Because I know what it is to have nothing to write about. And I'm no stranger to a lack of comments. And I've been running with it for quite a while now.
I wouldn't call this lack of material writer's block, because it's not like I'm having trouble with the writing. I think a better term might be material block. The strength of a good blog is focus, but moreso an unending sort of attention to your focus. Du Nord's focus is on soccer in all shapes and sizes, and the material never runs out. He does a fantastic job in covering pretty much everything soccer related, and he once called me an idiot in an email.
I'm still reading his blog.
Circle and Squares is going to work because of its focus on architecture (as long as the material doesn't run out). Inhabit works because of a focus on design.
Dooce works because everyone loves attractive yet attainable looking housewives. Ok, I really have no idea why Dooce works, but I think it's probably got something to do with the cussing. Shit cock motherfucker.
Anyway.. My point. I don't have one. (I'm trying out using bold today, feel free to comment. Except you, Dave.)
When asked to describe ridehorsey for the Indianapolis Bloggers page, I said it was about "normal 30-something white guy nostalgia". Seriously? How horrible does that sound? I should have said it was about horsefucking.
