caveat vacuus...

Bloggers come and go...and sometimes come back again...right before they go for good.

Me? I keep on going, whether you like it or not. Whether you comment, or not. I really don't know why. I just do. Is my mindset different than other bloggers? Probably. I'm probably more selfish than others. I don't write for my readers. I write for me. I've heard some bloggers say they felt obligated to post something...anything. I never do. Probably because my narcissism knows no boundaries.

Many of you might know that my friend A. Scott White, over at Caveat Emptor, has stopped blogging. Some of you may not know this. Some of you might also know that Scott and I have known each other literally since we were in diapers. I don't know why he's stopped. He just has. I'm ok with that. Bloggers come and go, and you can't please everyone, right? I know a person who thinks Scott's writing is the end all and be all of creative writing on the internet. This person feels that there is no equal. I also know another person who thinks Scott is a fraud who's life is a lie and who writes out of angst while hiding his true feelings. Me? I think we all fall somewhere in between, if truth be told. The truth is never simple, or easy, or black and white.

Needless to say, Scott has hung up his pixels, for now. He may or may not be back. Who knows. As for me, I'll still be here, Journaling (DON'T CALL IT A BLOG!) to myself, like some aging mediocre writer who just can't/WON'T (FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!) stop.
